Introducing BIG: Turning Africa's Agricultural Waste Into Its Most Valuable Climate Asset
Africa burns millions of tonnes of agricultural residue every year. We built Biochar Industrial Group to turn that waste into biochar, verified carbon credits, and a brand-new revenue stream for processors — and we're just getting started.
Read the announcementKenya Just Built the Plumbing for Africa's Carbon Market — a National Registry Now, an Exchange by 2027
Kenya's sovereign carbon registry went live in February, and regulators plan an East African carbon credit exchange by March 2027 — with a $5 billion investment target. Why the whole continent should be watching Nairobi.
China Just Industrialized Biochar — 50,000 Tonnes a Year From a Single Unit
A one-step catalytic dry process from Hefei produces 50,000+ tonnes of biochar per year per unit, with a green aviation fuel spinoff. What China's leap means for the global market — and for West Africa.
America Just Mapped Its Certified Carbon Removal — 850,000 Tonnes, and Biochar Leads
New CDR.fyi data maps 40 certified US carbon removal projects — biochar leads in 24 of them, and projects follow feedstock, not cities. What that map says about West Africa's opportunity.
How Much Are Biochar Carbon Credits Worth? (Price Per Tonne, 2026)
A biochar carbon credit sells for roughly €105 to €200 a tonne in 2026. Here is why the price swings so wildly, the €6-vs-€180 gap nobody explains, and what it means for a West African mill.
How to Register a Biochar Carbon Credit Project (Step by Step)
The honest, step-by-step path from a pile of shells to a cheque — the registries, the permanence test, MRV, the LCA, and the two walls where most projects quietly die.
Biochar: What It Can and Can't Do
Carbon, crops, dirty water, even cow burps — biochar is sold as a fix for almost everything. Here is the version with the small print left in: what the science actually supports, and which claims you can take to the bank.
The 2,000-Year History of Biochar
Long before it was a climate solution, biochar built some of the most fertile soil on Earth — in the Amazon, 2,000 years ago. Here is the real history of terra preta, and what it teaches West Africa today.
How Biochar Actually Works
What does the science actually say about biochar? The proven mechanisms and the global research — where it reliably lifts yields, where it disappoints, and why it works best paired with nutrients on acidic tropical soils.
The Companies Buying Carbon Credits Right Now — And What It Means for Your Factory
The carbon credit market just had its biggest opening quarter on record. Here is who is buying, why biochar dominated 93% of all deals, and what it means for palm, cashew, and timber processors in West Africa.
How to Get Carbon Credits from Agricultural Waste in Nigeria and West Africa
Most agro-processors in Nigeria are sitting on a revenue stream they don't know exists. Here is how carbon credits from palm kernel shells, cashew husks, and sawdust actually work — and what they pay.
What Is Biochar and How Is It Made from Sawdust and Palm Shells?
Biochar is not compost, not fertilizer, and not charcoal. Here is a plain-language explanation of what it is, how it is made, and why palm kernel shells and sawdust are among the best feedstocks.
Carbon Credit Certification for Agro-Processors in Africa: How It Works and What It Pays
A practical explainer for palm, cashew, rice, and timber processors — the certification standards, the real timeline, and what the numbers actually look like for an African operation.
