プロジェクト概要

For as long as fire and plant life have coexisted, biochar has played a role in the fertility of topsoil, having been used by Amazon farmers over 2,000 years ago to improve soil health and plant growth. That's because it’s effective in retaining water and nutrients in the root zone where it's later made available to plants, increasing soil tilth and supporting microbial communities.
Carboneers focuses on decentralized biochar project development in which the farmers benefit from crop yield increase as well as financial benefits that are derived from the sales of carbon credits. Carboneers, together with its local partners, provides farmers with the right tools, training, technology, and certification to create biochar in a sustainable manner. Local supervisors and managers are implemented in the system. They are provided with a mobile application in which all necessary information is uploaded which is needed for traceability and transparency. Biochar is produced according to the Global Artisan C-Sink Guidelines, and audited by third-party auditors. Biochar carbon credits are registered within the C-Sink Registry of Carbon Standards International. Where centralized and large-scale biochar production focuses mostly on the product and the climate action perspective, it is in Carboneers' decentralized biochar projects with smallholder farmers important that multiple Sustainable Development Goals are complied with.
Biochar helps fight droughts that are prone to this area due to land overuse and climate change. Because of its porosity, biochar drastically increases soils’ water holding capacity. This improves the productivity of the land and simultaneously proffers additional benefits to soil health (reducing nitrogen leaching and minimizing erosion). In addition to numerous environmental benefits, extra revenue from carbon credit sales boosts the local community's resilience and protects against poverty.
