Supercritical partners with Ground Up to scale Indian biochar carbon removal

Carbon marketplace Supercritical announced an exclusive partnership with Ground Up to expand biochar production and carbon removal operations across India. Ground Up, the first project in Supercritical’s Supply Development Program, aims to remove at least 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2028. Building on its Project Nandani pilot in Maharashtra, which issued Isometric-validated credits and expects to deliver 2,500 tonnes this year, Ground Up will establish a multi-site network co-located with Indian sugar mills. The collaboration addresses agricultural waste management by converting sugarcane residues into biochar, which is returned to agricultural lands to sequester carbon for over 200 years and improve soil productivity. Supercritical provides capital and volume commitments, supporting Ground Up's transition from a pilot to an integrated supply network for verified biochar carbon removal credits.
