Equilibrium deploys biochar frameworks in nine Indian states, engaging 27,000 farmers

Indian climate technology firm Equilibrium has deployed decentralised carbon removal infrastructure across nine Indian states, integrating over 27,000 smallholder farmers into international carbon markets. The initiative covers 30,000 hectares, using agroforestry, mangrove restoration, and biochar production to convert agricultural waste into soil amendments. Equilibrium provides localised processing technologies and full upfront financing, including Kon-Tiki kilns, and covers all capital expenditures for participating farmers. Farmers receive 25-30% of carbon credit sales, with Equilibrium using satellite imagery for verification. The company plans to scale operations to 120,000 hectares and 150,000 smallholder farmers.
