AgroCCS converts vegetative agricultural waste into high-quality biochar and bio-oil through pyrolysis, sequestering carbon while restoring soil health. The company sources 100% local biomass from farmers and produces biochar certified to European Biochar Certification Guidelines, improving soil water retention, nutrient efficiency, and drought resilience. AgroCCS also generates durable carbon credits and offers preorders of CO2 removal certificates to support project scale-up.

Problem
Agricultural soils worldwide are degrading due to intensive farming, drought, and poor management practices, reducing fertility and water retention while increasing vulnerability to climate shocks. Meanwhile, vegetative waste is often burned or dumped, releasing CO₂, methane, and particulate matter into the atmosphere and worsening climate change.
Solution
AgroCCS provides standardized biochar production solutions that convert local vegetative biomass into high-quality biochar and bio-oil through pyrolysis. The biochar is applied to soils to improve structure, increase microbial activity, enhance water retention, and boost nutrient efficiency, helping farmers grow more food on the same land while reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers. The process also sequesters carbon in a durable form, generating verified carbon credits that support climate action. AgroCCS offers a circular economy model that collects biomass from local suppliers, processes it with hi-tech equipment, and returns value to both farmers and the climate.
Target Audience
Primary customers are smallholder farmers and agricultural cooperatives seeking soil restoration and drought resilience, as well as organizations and individuals purchasing carbon removal credits to offset emissions.
