Agricultural communities
Residue supply arrangements could create additional income opportunities for farmers and processors, alongside local jobs in collection, logistics and operations.
Environmental & Social Impact
The difference responsible biochar projects could make
Well-designed biochar projects have the potential to benefit farming communities, soils and the climate together. Here is what we are working towards.
About these benefits. The impacts below describe potential outcomes that our project is designed to pursue. They are not claims of results achieved. Any future impact figures will be based on measured data and, where relevant, independent verification.
Potential benefits
Five areas of potential impact
Responsible residue management
Providing an alternative use for surplus residues may help reduce open burning and the smoke and air pollution associated with it.
Soil improvement
Research suggests biochar can improve water retention and other soil properties in some conditions. We intend to study its suitability for local soils and crops.
Climate action
Turning residues into stable carbon offers a practical, nature-linked contribution to Nigeria’s climate goals and to global efforts to limit warming.
Potential carbon removal
Biochar can store carbon for long periods. Any carbon removal from our project will be quantified using recognised methodologies before it is reported.
Safeguards built in
Benefits must not come at the cost of food security, soil cover or community wellbeing. Safeguards are part of our design from day one.
Measuring what matters
Impact we can stand behind
Credibility depends on measurement. As the project develops, we intend to put in place clear systems to track and report outcomes.
- Baseline studies before any operations begin
- Measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) aligned with recognised carbon removal methodologies
- Biochar quality testing against established standards
- Monitoring of social outcomes with participating communities
- Transparent public reporting of verified results
Support impact that is real and verifiable
Partner with us to develop a biochar project built on evidence, integrity and community benefit.
