What is Biochar?

Biochar is a high-carbon, charcoal-like substance produced by heating organic waste materials, such as agricultural residues, in a low-oxygen environment—a process known as pyrolysis. This ancient yet innovative material not only sequesters carbon for centuries but also enhances soil fertility, making it a powerful tool for both climate action and sustainable agriculture.

At Releaf Earth, we leverage Africa’s vast agricultural biomass to produce high-quality biochar that serves multiple purposes—carbon sequestration, soil regeneration, and ecosystem restoration. Our approach ensures that biochar is produced efficiently and sustainably, using decentralized production methods that require minimal infrastructure and energy.

Removing Carbon and improving yields

Why Biochar Matters

Africa has an abundance of agricultural waste that, if left unused, contributes to environmental degradation. By converting this biomass into biochar, we create a win-win solution: removing carbon from the atmosphere while improving soil health and boosting crop yields for smallholder farmers.

Carbon Removal: Locks carbon in a stable form for hundreds to thousands of years, helping to mitigate climate change.
Soil Health & Fertility: Enhances soil structure, retains moisture, and improves nutrient availability, leading to better crop productivity.
Waste Reduction: Converts agricultural residues into a valuable resource instead of allowing them to rot or be burned.
Sustainable Development: Creates economic opportunities in rural communities while promoting regenerative agriculture.

How Biochar is making an impact

Localized Production: We source biomass from smallholder farmers and agro-processors, creating decentralized biochar production hubs that support local economies.
Local industrial jobs: Industrial-scale biochar production has created more well-paying jobs, boosting economic opportunities in rural communities.
Renewable Energy Powered: Our biochar production utilizes small solar kits, making the process energy-independent and environmentally friendly.
Carbon Credit Generation: Our biochar projects contribute to high-quality carbon credit markets, allowing companies and individuals to offset their emissions through meaningful climate action.

Meeting Africa’s Growing Food Demand Responsibly

Scaling Up Without Harmful Practices

As Africa’s population grows, so does the demand for food. Releaf is committed to meeting this challenge responsibly, especially in oil palm farming, by

Supporting smallholder farmers instead of enforcing large-scale land takeovers or harmful monocultures.
Leveraging naturally occurring wild palm trees, a resource that has thrived in West Africa for centuries.

Did you know?

Biochar represented 94% of 2023 carbon removals. It is the most immediately scalable technology to solve global warming

Join Us in Shaping a Sustainable Future Together, we can empower smallholder farmers to thrive sustainably, protect the planet with innovative, eco-friendly practices
