Biochar Climate Resolution

Mission

Our mission is to accelerate durable Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) with permanence over 100 years.


Biochar Climate Resolution (BCR) Description

Biochar Climate Resolution (BCR), a Kenyan-based company, addresses the climate crisis by focusing on Net-Zero planning and rapid carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to meet world's climate goals by 2050. BCR emphasizes the urgent need to curb greenhouse gas emissions and simultaneously remove carbon at scale, creating a carbon-negative society. The company operates in the biochar industry, producing products with the potential to sequester CO₂ for centuries. BCR's efforts extend beyond being a carbon sink, recognizing nature's multifaceted functions essential for life on Earth. By deploying biochar products, BCR aims to store CO₂ for extended periods, contributing to a net-negative emissions world. The company is actively involved in reducing short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane and black carbon, addressing both climate change and air pollution. BCR's overarching philosophy is to minimize human interference in the climate system while catalyzing sustainable solutions for a resilient and climate-responsible future in Kenya.

Biochar production process

Bamboo

Green vegetation types can be utilized to produce biochar, a carbon-rich material obtained through the process of pyrolysis. Bamboo is often considered an excellent material for biochar production due to its high cellulose content and fast growth rate.

Pyrolysis involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen, converting it into biochar while also producing bioenergy.


Biochar Production from bamboo

This shows resultant biochar products made of bamboo that can be used as organic manure. It acts as a stable carbon source, enhancing soil structure, nutrient retention, and microbial activity.

Compacting this biochar into pellets increases convenience for application. These pellets can be spread across the soil surface as shown in the next frame.


Biochar Application

The prepared biochar are then applied as a top layer around plants as demonstrated. Its application has profound impacts on soil health, plant growth, and environmental sustainability.


Biochar Climate Resolution Objectives:

  • To build biochar industry in Kenya for climate resilience and create more sustainable future for the posterity
  • To curb CO₂ emissions
  • To advance agricultural and forestry biomass utilization on carbon sequestration production

  • Lead strategies to Net Zero:

  • Biochar Climate Resolution has committed to an ambitious Net Zero target by 2050. To help realize these goals, Biochar Climate is delivering a range of Net Zero solutions that will have an impact on the large-scale change the planet needs.
  • Biochar Climate Resolution has developed a vision for where we need to be in 15 years to ensure our Net Zero target for 2050 is achievable. Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing our planet today, so our future must be sustainable.
  • Sustainable innovation that produces environmental and economic impacts is essential, and therefore we are creating initiatives and delivering programs to support businesses and farming to decarbonize, reduce waste, increase organic fertilizer and build resilient, low carbon supply chains.


  • Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

    1. Why is biochar sequestration important in climate action?

      Biochar, a form of charcoal produced from organic matter, sequesters carbon in soil, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. By sequestering carbon and improving soil health, biochar contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts, promoting sustainable agriculture.



    Area of operation

    Biochar Climar Resolution (BCR) is currently focused on Lake Region Economic Bloc in Kenya.
