Jain Irrigation Systems Limited has signed an agreement with carbon removal marketplace Supercritical for the supply of up to 19,000 tonnes of 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 credits across 2026 and 2027. The credits will originate from the Indian agribusiness company’s industrial biochar production facility located in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, which utilizes gasificationGasification is a high-temperature, thermochemical process that converts carbon-based materials into a gaseous fuel called syngas and solid by-products. It takes place in an oxygen-deficient environment at temperatures typically above 750°C. Unlike combustion, which fully burns material to produce heat and carbon dioxide (CO2​), gasification More to convert agricultural residues and food-processing byproducts into stable carbon material.

A primary challenge in the corporate carbon removal sector involves establishing reliable, long-term supply chains and traceable feedstockFeedstock refers to the raw organic material used to produce biochar. This can include a wide range of materials, such as wood chips, agricultural residues, and animal manure. More sourcing from the ground up. Many nascent projects struggle with securing consistent 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 inputs and distribution networks, while corporate buyers face tightening market availability as high-quality credits are secured earlier in procurement cycles.

The collaboration addresses this challenge by leveraging Jain Irrigation’s established operational footprint and sixty-year agricultural network. The Jalgaon facility uses internal food-processing residues and agricultural byproducts as feedstock, producing syngasSyngas, or synthesis gas, is a fuel gas mixture consisting primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It is produced during gasification and can be used as a fuel source or as a feedstock for producing other chemicals and fuels.   More for industrial energy replacement alongside biochar deployed directly to agricultural soils, all supported by ongoing Puro.earth verification and BeZero Carbon rating processes.

The agreement establishes a commercial channel for durable carbon removal while providing Supercritical with verified supply from an operational facility. The arrangement links industrial residue management directly with agricultural amendment deployment across multi-year procurement commitments.
