We are a startup social enterprise founded by Princeton University students, advised by industry experts and scientists, with a bold vision to decarbonize the global south. Our first project targeting agricultural emission is being implemented in rural India.

The problem

Widespread crop-stubble burning in India releases harmful carbon dioxide, methane, carbon monoxide, and particulate emissions--contributing to the persistent winter smog across the Indo-Gangetic plain. This smog leads to severe health and economic effects across the region.

the solution

Stubble burning is an economic issue, with numerous established alternatives. We sell carbon offsets to finance the small-scale manufacture of biochar by smallholder farmers in rural West Bengal. The char is then applied to the soil to improve fertility and crop-yields.

We are actively working with community organizations and partners in the US and India to support our on-ground operations, carbon credit certification, and additional smallholder farmer programming.

OUR Mission

Cultivate creative and economically sustainable models for reducing carbon emissions that can be replicated and scaled across developing economies​

Our Vision

A future where green capital and technology flows from developed nations to the global south in the service of achieving global net-zero carbon emissions reduction. 

Cash disbursement are sent to laborers and farmers previously earning $2-4 per day.

Biochar improves soil moisture and nutrient retention, increasing crop yields​.

Elimination of particulate emissions that cause acute and chronic health issues.

Jobs created after rice harvest, a period typically having high unemployment.

74% of carbon is sequestered in the soil for up to 1000 years, the remainder for 50 years.

We help convert waste into biochar, significantly reducing pressure on ecosystems.
