Carboneers and Terrafront Ventures collaboratively develop biochar projects by processing agricultural residues into biochar and heat. In the project the biochar will be charged with both compost and manure, and given back for free to the same farmer. The aggregation of biomass and distribution of biochar is a 360 degree model. The project will be with rice, cotton and maize farmers in the regions of Odisha, Assam, Nagaland.

Cocoa Biochar Carboneers
In Ghana, cocoa residues remain unutilized, leading to substantial GHG emissions and facilitating spread of pests and diseases. This project converts cocoa pods and prunings into biochar, thereby preventing significant methane emissions and reducing plant disease incidence associated with uncontrolled decomposition of these residues. Given the absence of infrastructure for centralized feedstock collection, Carboneers Coco Kilns are deployed at the village level. Each kiln is equipped with continuous monitoring systems to ensure optimal pyrolysis conditions.
