Biochar Life - WasteX

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 by-product gases from biochar creation are used to produce thermal energy and electricity, enhancing the circularity of the project. Data is collected throughout the process to ensure accurate carbon removal and is done according to Global Artisan C-Sink standards.

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.
