Conference

Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) potential in the Global South is enormous given plant growth rates in the tropics. That potential is now beginning to be realized as the world’s largest biochar facility is in Bolivia with many new and planned production facilities coming on-line across Latin America, Africa and Asia. In addition to its climate benefits, tropical soils can benefit substantially from the additional of biochar as soils in many parts of the Global South are often depleted

15:00  Panel one will highlight the insights of six/seven biochar producers that are converting agricultural and wood residues into biochar at industrial scale.

16:40  Panel two will include stakeholders in the biochar industry that are facilitating scaling in the Global South. Carbon markets are a key driver to enabling economically sustainable biochar production and contain a growing variety of service providers including companies that develop and ensure biochar quality standards, crediting standards and registries, digital management, reporting and verification providers, consultants assisting companies to commence biochar production and verification of its impacts on greenhouse gas emissions and, critically, investors willing to structure appropriate financing to support biochar production.
