How Releaf Earth is using biochar to repair soils for Nigerian farmers
- Releaf Earth launched Nigeria's first industrial biochar production facility in Iwuru, capable of removing carbon from the environment.
- The facility uses palm kernel shells to produce biochar, enhancing soil quality and supporting smallholder farmers.
- Releaf aims to remove 40 kilotonnes of CO₂ by 2030, with plans for additional facilities to increase this to 100 kilotonnes.
Releaf Earth’s innovative approach to biochar production not only addresses pressing climate issues but also provides economic benefits to farmers. This dual focus on sustainability and profitability could serve as a model for other agritech startups in Africa, potentially transforming the continent's role in the global carbon credit market.
