Stack Carbon has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Jiaxing Tongao Environmental Technology Co. Ltd and TerraCapX AS to develop Uganda's first large-scale biochar carbon removal and fertilizer production facility, the Nile Char Carbon Removal Project.

This USD $12 million initiative will process over 10 million tonnes of agricultural waste over 20 years, providing an alternative to imported chemical fertilizers, which cost Uganda over USD $300 million annually. Jiaxing Tongao will supply pyrolysis equipment with a capacity of 30 tonnes of biochar per day, marking its first project in Africa.

The agreement includes training for up to 100 Ugandan operators and engineers. Equipment installation is set for mid-2026, with commercial operations expected to start in Q3 2026. The project aims to enhance soil health, support carbon sequestration, and serve as a scalable model for climate-smart agriculture in Africa.
