Challenge: India faces the dual threats of climate crisis and soil erosion, resulting in depleted soils. As agricultural practices become increasingly challenging, the risk of unemployment and food supply problems for a huge population becomes a reality.
Solution: Chidambar, at HumVerm Ltd, produces biochar from coconut husks in the Mysore region of southern India (see the presentation video or visit: https://youtu.be/nCO3-5b9jAY for high resolution display). The biochar along with vermicompost made from waste has proven effective in revitalizing degraded soils. Land that was unusable for decades is now back into production. However, the biochar is produced in simple labour intensive facilities like "Kon-Tikis" or open pits, making it hard to scale production and meet the growing demand.
Goal: The Carbon Contract is our soon-to-be-ready-platform for trading certified biochar-derived carbon sinks. Here, companies or even individuals can offset their emissions while supporting biochar producers like Chidu and their work of saving soils. Chidu aims to invest in a modern biochar furnace to produce more biochar more efficiently and to obtain necessary certifications (according to the European Biochar Certificate, Verra or Puro) ensuring quality and sustainability. The biochar is tracked with the Carbonfuture's tracking system and then the carbon sink can be verified and traded at The Carbon Contract platform.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 to bridge the initial investment gap: to enable the build of a new biochar furnace, support development of the local biochar market, certify the carbon sinks and launch The Carbon Contract platform.
Impact of Supporters: Your support is crucial in overcoming this challenge which will also enable the launch of the platform! Your contribution not only fights climate change but also directly addresses soil erosion and supporting communities reliant on agriculture.
Your early support empowers Chidambar and paves the way for our platform launch, initiating impactful initiatives to tackle global challenges.
About Biokolprodukter: Our motivation lies in harnessing the potential of biochar to enhance our world. While we understand that biochar isn't the singular solution to global challenges, we firmly believe it plays ain important role in combating climate change and revitalizing depleted soils. At Biokolprodukter, we specialize in developing and distributing high-quality biochar products. We approach our work with dedication, expertise, and a genuine passion!
