    Excerpt

    Carbón Emergente is a startup focused on the production of biochar and its use as a catalyst for regenerative rural development.

    We upcycle waste from forestry and landscaping operations and transform it into a recalcitrant form of carbon, which we apply in farming practices. Our goal is to simultaneously tackle three key challenges: waste (mis)management, soil degradation, and climate change, while having a net-positive impact on rural communities and livelihoods. 

    Our operational model is based on developing Rural Regeneration Projects around biochar's lifecycle - from waste to soil amendment - and making those projects available to companies to finance as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility portfolio. This enables the farmers and rural communities to receive most of the benefits without having to shoulder the economic costs.
