Varaha develops artisanal biochar projects in India for carbon removal

Varaha is developing artisanal biochar projects in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, and Yavatmal, Maharashtra, India. These projects convert waste biomass, such as Prosopis juliflora and cotton stalks, into biochar using Kon-Tiki kilns. The biochar is then applied to agricultural fields, improving soil health and sequestering carbon. Each tonne of carbon removal is digitally tracked, photographed, and geotagged for verification. This initiative aims to provide durable carbon removal and income for local communities.
