Supercritical and Ground Up partner to expand biochar carbon removal in India

Carbon removal marketplace Supercritical has partnered with biochar developer Ground Up to expand biochar carbon removal operations across India. The initiative will establish industrial-scale biochar production hubs near agricultural residue streams, such as sugarcane mills, using localised pyrolysis infrastructure. This aims to generate high-integrity carbon credits and supply biochar-based soil amendments to Indian farmers. The partnership seeks to mitigate open-field burning of over 500 million tonnes of annual biomass, addressing agricultural land degradation and generating long-term carbon sequestration of 1.5 to 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of biochar.
