CCC BIOCHAR

Turning Agricultural Waste into Permanent Soil Value.
This flagship initiative creates a scalable circular economy model in Machakos County by converting agricultural residues into high-quality biochar and organic fertilizer. By diverting biomass that would otherwise decay or be burned, the project locks carbon into a stable geological sink while producing a nutrient-rich soil amendment. The result is a dual-impact solution: verifiable Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and the regeneration of degraded semi-arid soils.

Anchored by immediate access to over 2,000 farmers through established cooperatives, the facility utilizes proven industrial pyrolysis technology to ensure high-efficiency production. Designed for rapid scalability, the project is structured to reach operating break-even within 18–24 months, offering a modular template for replication across the region. This approach delivers high-quality CORCs (CO2 Removal Certificates) while directly bolstering food security and farmer incomes.
