Biochar,
delivered right.

We deliver high impact decarbonisation solutions with our networks of farmers in the Global South.

We believe biochar is delivered right, when every tonne is traceable and every payment transparent.

 

We work alongside farmer communities in India and Ghana, and give our partners:

Real-time traceability
Through our in-house sensors and app
Transparent impact reporting
Tracked in in field, reported to your standard

 

Enabling processes to be upgraded across 33,000 farmers in India and Ghana.

Empowering
smallholder farmers.

We’re developing a robust system to scale carbon removal in hard to reach places in the Global South. Where farmers already impacted by climate change can improve their soil health, grow their yields, and improve livelihoods.

Calculated based on credit removal payments vs published information on average farmer salaries by agricultural residue.

Tracked by our field monitoring teams and implementation partners in India, and in real time through our proprietary dMRV technology in Ghana.

Calculated based on theoretical research into the agronomic and socioeconomic impacts of biochar application.

FAQs

What makes Carboneers different?

We focus on upgrading how biochar is produced, measured and delivered; bringing industrial quality to distributed projects through proprietary technology, real-time digital MRV and transparent payments.

Why agricultural residues?

We use agricultural residues that would otherwise be openly burned or left to decompose. By putting this waste to better use, we avoid unnecessary emissions while permanently removing carbon through biochar.

Why do you focus on distributed biochar production?

Because that’s where the greatest opportunity exists. Thousands of smallholder farmers in hard-to-reach rural areas across the Global South produce agricultural residues that are often overlooked. By combining local partnerships with proprietary technology and real-time digital MRV, we bring industrial levels of transparency, traceability and quality to distributed biochar production.

How permanent is your biochar carbon removal?

Biochar stores carbon in a stable form for hundreds to thousands of years. We use recognised scientific models to assess permanence and apply an additional 2% safety buffer, giving buyers even greater confidence in every tonne delivered.

Can you deliver carbon credits in the near term?

Yes. We already aggregate thousands of smallholder producers across India and Ghana to deliver high-quality carbon removal at scale today, helping buyers meet near-term net zero targets. You can see how much we have delivered to-date here.

How do farmers benefit?

Farmers receive the biochar produced for free to improve their soils and crop yields. People that produce the biochar are paid fairly for their work, and we commit to including women at all levels of the projects.
