Problem
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, necessitating scalable and affordable carbon removal solutions to mitigate climate change. Existing carbon sequestration methods often lack accessibility for farmers in the Global South, hindering their ability to participate in carbon markets and improve their livelihoods.
Solution
BIOSORRA develops and deploys biochar technology to remove atmospheric CO2 while simultaneously enhancing soil health and water retention. Their approach focuses on providing accessible and affordable carbon removal solutions to farmers in the Global South, enabling them to sequester carbon, increase crop yields, and improve water management practices. By utilizing locally sourced biomass and simple pyrolysis techniques, BIOSORRA empowers farmers to actively participate in carbon sequestration efforts, creating a positive feedback loop between environmental sustainability and economic empowerment. The resulting biochar is applied to agricultural lands, improving soil fertility, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, and enhancing water infiltration.
Target Audience
BIOSORRA's primary target audience consists of smallholder farmers in the Global South seeking to improve soil health, increase crop yields, and participate in carbon sequestration initiatives, as well as organizations looking to invest in verified carbon removal projects with positive social and environmental impacts.
