Marine Permaculture by Climate Foundation

Philippines

Marine Permaculture

With kelp’s help, marine ‘permaculture’ (farming in a sustainable and self-sufficient way) has the potential to turn not only the ocean round but the whole planet – because once we grow it at scale, kelp gives with one hand (food, feed, fuel, fertiliser and more) and takes with the other (carbon, out of the atmosphere and upper ocean, storing it safely in the middle and deep ocean for thousands of years).

Living Carbon

Georgia, USA

Enhancing Natural Systems

Living Carbon’s advanced biotechnology can help provide solutions to efficiently remove carbon from our atmosphere. Their biotech seedlings are unique in their ability to capture more carbon on less land and they utilize land that is already abandoned or degraded, like abandoned mineland or agricultural land. This means emissions will not go elsewhere, and land use change is limited.

Biosorra

Biosorra

Nairobi West, Nairobi, Kenya

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.

Safi Organics

Safi Organics

Nairobi, Kenya

Decentralised production of carbon-negative fertiliser from rice-husks.

Safi Organics utilizes rice husks to make biochar that is also used as a carbon-negative organic fertilizer. Its biochar fertilizer has been used by more than 10,000 farmers since its inception, resulting in a 30% increase in crop yield and a 50% increase in farmer income. Currently sequesters around 33,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, with the potential to sequester millions more.
