Key Project Data

• Type of project info
  New facility or site
• Carbon removal methodology info
  Biochar
• Durability of carbon removal in years (number) info
  1000
• Co-benefits info
  Harvesting and forestry management sustainably decreases the risk of forest fires, insect damage and diseases. Biochar is deployed directly or indirectly for soil improvement. It dramatically increases water and nutrient retention in the soil leading to yield increases. Biochar reduces nutrient leaching, which has caused damage to waterways and seas. Biochar reduces the need for artificial fertilizers, which are typically energy-intensive to produce. This project will create green jobs and produce renewable energy to help decarbonise the grid.
