New Black Gold offers hope for the planet!
We are delighted to announce that we have secured grant support of £319,000 from DEFRA, through Innovate UK’s Farming Innovation Programme, supported by SEED funding of £116,000 from Edinburgh investment syndicate, Apollo Informal Investments.
This funding will support our ongoing R & D project in conjunction with the UK Biochar Research Centre at the University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences. We are developing a suite of unique Carbon negative solutions based on Biochar (in layman’s terms best described as supercharged Charcoal) that have the potential to transform the agricultural sectors’ CO2 emissions and help farmers achieve their 2040 net zero target.
Our solution will sequester (capture) the Carbon content of agricultural residues by creating Biochar. This captures and locks away the Carbon for generations and is consequently Carbon negative, not just Carbon neutral, hence our “positively negative” strapline! Our products will have a long lasting benefit to soil health and sustainability as well as creating a truly circular economy by returning the nutrients in farmers’ residues back to them bringing long term benefits.
In giving feedback on our grant application, Innovate UK’s assessors said the Company’s product “Is likely to disrupt the market and may become the new gold standard.“ That comment is particularly apposite as Biochar has been described as “the new Black Gold”!
In tandem with our R & D project we are accelerating plans for our first production facility which, when it comes on stream, will make us the UKs largest producer of Biochar.
A unique part of our proposition is to offer consumers and companies the opportunity to buy ISO approved certificates demonstrating the production of sufficient Biochar to completelky offset their Carbon footprints.
