A newly released short documentary, The Power of Biochar, spotlights a game-changing natural climate solution emerging from Bolivia’s Amazon. Produced by Exomad Green and Carbonfuture, and narrated by carbon removal advocate Sebastian Manhart, the film showcases how biochar—an ancient practice of carbon capture through pyrolyzed biomass—is now powering a scalable, sustainable future.


Directed by acclaimed filmmakers Matthew Schmidt (Avengers: Endgame) and Leila Conners (The 11th Hour), the documentary offers an intimate look at Exomad Green’s groundbreaking work in Concepción and Riberalta. Viewers witness how forest waste is transformed into biochar, locking carbon away for centuries while revitalizing depleted soils. The film centers not only on technology but also on the communities at the heart of this movement, demonstrating how local employment, climate justice, and indigenous knowledge are key to long-term success.

Exomad Green currently accounts for over 27% of global carbon dioxide removal, with facilities that eliminate more than 120,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. Supported by Carbonfuture’s rigorous MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) platform, the initiative has earned the trust of major partners—most notably Microsoft, which recently signed a record-breaking agreement to remove 1.24 million tonnes of CO₂ over the next decade.

The Power of Biochar is more than a film—it’s a call to reimagine the climate fight through innovation, equity, and ecological stewardship. In just under 20 minutes, it makes a compelling case for biochar as a pillar of a regenerative global economy.
