Biochar at Scale in the Tropics is a low-cost, scalable system for making biochar from agricultural waste that is good for developing countries.
The goal of this solution is to take carbon out of the air and store it for hundreds of years. This is done by taking carbon from crop waste in tropical developing countries and turning it into a product called biochar. Biochar can be put into the ground, where it will stay stable for hundreds of years. At the same time, adding biochar to soils improves soil health, increases crop yield, and reduces the need for fertilizers. Last, the process of making biochar can be used to make electricity from renewable sources.
