Biochar is a unique product! It is created through the pyrolysis of agricultural waste. When applied to soil it can reduce soil acidity and remove CO2e from the atmosphere

During the process of pyrolysis, CO2 is locked away & stored in the biochar. This prevents the CO2 from decaying or being burnt. When applied to soil, 1 MT of biochar removes 2.5MTs of CO2 from the atmosphere

West Africa has enormous potential to create large volumes of high quality virgin biochar, whilst having huge positive impact! Large numbers of smallholder farmers = large volumes of high quality agricultural waste. Smallholder farmers in West Africa are heavily impacted by decaying soils and rising costs of inputs

Not all biochar is created equally. Truecoco will only create biochar using agricultural waste that is not the bi-product of an emissions producing activity. This will create a higher quality of biochar, leading to greater carbon removal

Truecoco will create a circular economy by sourcing agricultural waste from local smallholder farmers. This will provide farmers with an additional revenue stream. The biochar will then be sold back to the farmers as a cost effective & below market rate soil amendment.
