Biochar Industrial Group and Releaf Earth Collaborate to Transform Agricultural Waste in Nigeria

Biochar Industrial Group (BIG) has partnered with Releaf Earth to implement a Biochar-as-a-Service framework in Nigeria, converting palm kernel shells into biochar. This initiative allows for the systematic management of agricultural residues, which have historically been underutilized, and generates revenue through verified carbon removal credits sold to international technology companies.

The project addresses logistical issues by providing engineering oversight for the thermal conversion process and ensuring compliance with carbon credit standards. The biochar produced enhances soil quality by improving moisture retention and nutrient availability, addressing both waste disposal and agricultural productivity challenges.
