Nigeria’s first biochar plant opens in cross river by Releaf Earth
- Releaf Earth unveiled Nigeria's first industrial biochar carbon removal facility in Iwuru, Cross River State.
- The facility is projected to remove 40 kilotonnes of CO₂e by 2030, with plans for an additional 60 kilotonnes.
- The facility converts palm kernel shells into biochar, which stores carbon and enhances soil fertility.
Releaf Earth's initiative represents a significant step towards sustainable agriculture and climate resilience in Africa. By harnessing local agricultural waste for biochar production, the company not only addresses environmental challenges but also provides economic benefits to farmers. This model could serve as a blueprint for similar initiatives across the continent, promoting both ecological and economic sustainability.
