Green Carbon Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based developer of nature-based carbon credits, has entered into a strategic partnership with Excellent Enfab Incorporation, an industrial plant manufacturer based in Ahmedabad, India. This collaboration aims to establish a robust foundation for the large-scale deployment of high-integrity BiocharBiochar is a carbon-rich material created from biomass decomposition in low-oxygen conditions. It has important applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, agriculture, carbon sequestration, energy storage, and sustainable materials, promoting efficiency and reducing waste in various contexts while addressing climate change challenges. More Carbon Removal (BCR) projects. The initiative will initially focus on the states of Gujarat and West Bengal, where the companies will launch two new industrial-scale facilities. These plants are designed to convert agricultural residues, such as flower stems and peanut shells, alongside forestry waste into durable biochar, contributing to a circular economy and climate mitigation efforts in India.

The primary challenge addressed by this partnership is the significant volume of unmanaged agricultural and forestry residues in India, which are often burned or left to decompose, releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Managing these residues at scale requires specialized industrial infrastructure that can process diverse feedstocks efficiently while meeting rigorous international standards for carbon sequestration. Furthermore, local agricultural sectors face declining soil health and productivity. The project seeks to bridge the gap between waste management and high-integrity carbon removal by deploying advanced pyrolysisPyrolysis is a thermochemical process that converts waste biomass into bio-char, bio-oil, and pyro-gas. It offers significant advantages in waste valorization, turning low-value materials into economically valuable resources. Its versatility allows for tailored products based on operational conditions, presenting itself as a cost-effective and efficient More technology capable of producing biochar that meets the stringent requirements of the Isometric certification standard.

To resolve these issues, Excellent Enfab Incorporation will utilize its expertise in designing and manufacturing industrial pyrolysis plants to construct and operate facilities with a daily capacity of 50 tonnes. Green Carbon Co., Ltd. will oversee project management, lead collaboration with local farmer networks, and manage the generation and commercialization of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits. The solution involves a modular and scalable business model that integrates the production of biochar and wood vinegar. By processing locally sourced biomassBiomass is a complex biological organic or non-organic solid product derived from living or recently living organism and available naturally. Various types of wastes such as animal manure, waste paper, sludge and many industrial wastes are also treated as biomass because like natural biomass these More through controlled pyrolysis, the project ensures that carbon is sequestered in a stable form for over 1,000 years, preventing its release as atmospheric CO₂.

The anticipated outcomes of the project include the annual generation of approximately 18,000 tonnes of high-quality CDR credits for a minimum of 10 years. Beyond carbon sequestration, the application of the produced biochar to Indian farmland is expected to enhance soil water retention, improve nutrient availability, and increase crop yields for local farmers. This initiative supports Green Carbon’s broader goal of achieving 300,000 tonnes of annual carbon removal across South Asia by 2030. By aligning with the Isometric standard, the partnership establishes a commercially viable and scientifically validated framework for industrial-scale biochar production that benefits both regional agricultural communities and the global climate.
