Provides biochar as affordable & sustainable fertiliser to farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Biosorra makes biochar and then provides it as an affordable and sustainable biofertilizer to farming communities in sub-Saharan Africa. For every tonne of biochar placed on fields, 2.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. At scale, this has the potential to remove millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide.
