In India, atmosfair produces biochar on a decentralised basis in the villages to the east of Calcutta. We do not need expensive machinery for this. The biochar is produced as a by-product of cooking with the help of our efficient wood gasification stoves. Our field agents buy the biochar from the families every month and process it in our plant together with compost and dolomite to make a fertiliser. We sell this fertiliser to farmers in the region. Using the fertiliser creates a CO2 sink, while at the same time adding valuable nutrients to the soil.
