Biochar Life - Thailand

Biochar Life aims to both mitigate climate change and reduce poverty by training smallholder farmers in Thailand on biochar production and usage. Participating farmers turn their crop residues, waste that would otherwise be burned, into biochar that they can use on their own fields or sell to others for profit. The biochar is monitored through GPS & physical data that is collected with a smartphone application used by participating farmers. The project uses Kon-Tiki kilns to produce high quality biochar which are low-infrastructure and thus highly replicable, depending on waste biomass availability.

Biochar Life’s mission is to support the environmental and wellness needs of the general public via the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They aim to improve the lives of rural communities and uplift the underrepresented by scaling carbon removal. They are committed to gender and income equality by employing fair and equal hiring practices for marginalised communities.
