This pilot project with CarbonThink produces biochar from voluminous offcuts leftover from bamboo harvesting and processing in central Thailand, in order to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, regenerate the soil quality of surrounding farmland, and improve livelihoods in local communities.

Artisanal biochar is produced using small-scale, often traditional methods accessible to rural communities. Biochar is a charcoal-looking, carbon-rich substance that is produced when materials like agricultural residues are heated in a process called pyrolysis.
