BIOCHAR

The value of biochar in soils for improved crop productivity is now well researched.

Since 2022 an international team affiliated with carbon sequestration and CDR, began developing a biochar project for agriculture biochar and trading sequestered carbon on the carbon market. The team includes: Chris Neidl (Open Air Collective, USA); Lionel and Chris Clarke (BionerG, C-Go, UK).

As of August 2023, the team have funded the manufacture and installation of a biochar kiln system with sensors and data box for the measurement of weight of biochar for accrediting carbon sequestration for sale on the carbon market. 3 biochar manufacturing kilns have been provided and have been provided measurement tech from BionErg.

Training for the manufacturing team among refugees, including patented sensor tech, commenced online in real practice in April 2023 with accreditation of biochar manufacturing being awarded to seven refugees in September 2024.
