Carboneers’ India Integrity Dashboard

About This Project

Carboneers’ biochar projects in Odisha and Assam, India, engage 7,500 farming communities in transforming agricultural residues such as corn stalks, bamboo trimmings, rice straw, and cotton stalks into high-quality biochar. The initiative utilizes pyrolysis techniques like soil pit pyrolysis and chamber kiln pyrolysis and is also advancing high-tech pyrolysis methods to improve efficiency and scalability.

A key aspect of this effort is Carboneers’ close partnership with local Farming Group NGOs, which bring farmers together to make collective decisions that strengthen community ties and maximize impact. Women play a central role in the project, representing the majority of team members across all levels from field operations to leadership, highlighting a strong commitment to gender equity and community-led progress.

Through these comprehensive activities, the project not only enhances soil health and lowers carbon emissions but also economically and socially empowers rural communities while promoting resilience and sustainable development.
