Ground Up secures over $17,000 biochar carbon credit pre-purchase from remove accelerator

Indian biochar startup Ground Up secured a pre-purchase agreement valued at over $17,000 (€15,000) for carbon credits from the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) accelerator remove. This agreement follows Ground Up's progression into the second stage of remove's Global Leap programme, where remove acts as a credit buyer. The deal provides early revenue validation and capital for Ground Up's industrial biochar deployments, which include processing sugarcane crop residues at its Project Nandani pilot facility. remove selected Ground Up due to its operational traceability and 'farmer-first' strategy, which returns biochar to local agricultural soils for fertility improvement and carbon sequestration. This partnership demonstrates how targeted pre-purchase agreements can validate localised biochar production models and integrate agricultural residues into the VCM.
