MASH Makes

🎉MASH Makes expands carbon removal facility – doubling capacity! Welcome to the Phase 2 expansion of Asia’s largest carbon removal facility! This milestone represents a major step forward for us. The upgrade will double our biofuel and biochar production capacity. Our expanded facility will: ⚡ Produce 7,000 tonnes of biofuel and 14,000 tonnes of biochar annually. 🌱 Empower farmers throughout India to improve soil health and achieve higher crop yields with biochar. 🏗️ Create new jobs, supporting the local community and boosting regional industries. 🌍 Solidify our global leadership in carbon removal tech. 📢 A special thanks to those who helped break ground on our new facility, including: Shri Yashpal Suvarna, MLA of Udupi District Shri Mithun HN, Superintendent of the Coastal Police Udupi Eske Bo Rosenberg, Head of the Trade Council, Embassy of Denmark President and Committee Members of the local Gram Panchayat Rohit Nagargoje, Co-Founder and CCO, MASH Makes Søren Overgaard Knudsen, Head of New Business at MASH Makes #MASHMakes #CarbonRemoval #Biofuel #Biochar #ClimateAction #IndiaInnovation

As the world counts down to the New Year, we’re counting up the milestones we’ve achieved in 2024: producing tonnes of biochar and biofuel, completing field trials, and advancing sustainability. Here’s to building on this progress in 2025. Wishing you a Happy New Year from all of us at MASH Makes!

We're feeling especially GREEN this holiday season. Happy holidays!

It’s been a busy year for MASH Makes. We started by getting our first production site in Karnataka up and running, and tomorrow we’re marking the expansion of that facility with a groundbreaking ceremony. Once completed, the expansion will more than double the biochar and biofuel production capacity of what is already Asia's largest high-quality carbon removal facility. In between, we’ve conducted dozens of biochar trials, gained new certifications, and built important partnerships. We’re making steady progress towards our goals. Watch this space for more developments in 2025.

This week, MASH Makes celebrates the unique collaboration and expertise that we share between Denmark and India. 📍 In Denmark, we're hosting three of our Indian colleagues – Naman Gupta, Bobby Choudhary, and Niranjan Kolhe – this week. Their visit focuses on deepening collaboration with our technical teams and refining strategies to optimise production. 📍 Meanwhile, in India, our Danish colleague, Rasmus Bruun Sleimann, is returning from five months as Head of Plant Operations at our Karnataka facility. During his time in India, Rasmus helped significantly enhance our production capabilities, achieve key targets for the year, and elevate operational standards. Back in Denmark, Rasmus will resume his role as Head of Test Centre. To further build on this collaboration, we also welcome Kim Bach, a Danish professional with extensive experience managing complex manufacturing operations, as our Chief Operating Officer for India. Kim soon relocate to India to oversee and enhance our production processes. Looking forward to even more collaboration and shared experiences in 2025!

Our biochar is one of the most stable forms of carbon storage available! A recent analysis revealed that our biochar is over 99% inertinite, with very little reactive carbon. The samples also demonstrated exceptionally high reflectance—over 4%—with a very narrow range of values. That means that we’re essentially producing inertinite biochar—a highly stable and permanent solution for carbon storage. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our carbonisation process. While more testing is planned, this promising data confirms that MASH Makes biochar stands out as one of the most durable carbon removal solutions available today. Thanks to Aarhus University and GEUS, and professors Hamed Sanei, Arka Rudra, and Henrik I. Petersen for great collaboration. #Biochar #CarbonSequestration #CarbonStorage #MASHMakes #CarbonRemoval #CDR #Inertinite

This month, we’ve shared impressive results from our biochar field studies. Today, we turn the spotlight on the farmers and researchers making these achievements possible. 📍 In central Maharashtra, India, we partner with MANAVLOK(Marathwada Navnirman Lokayat), a non-profit organisation focused on rural development. Together, we trial biochar to improve soil health, increase crop yields, and promote sustainable agriculture. These trials show biochar’s power to enhance farming and sustain its own production. It’s a cycle of growth that benefits both the land and its people. Swipe through to see some of our favourite moments from the field. #SustainableFarming #Biochar #SoilHealth #RuralDevelopment #CircularEconomy And a special thanks to Christopher Herwig for the beautiful images!

🌾 Yes, you can combine biochar with traditional inputs! MASH Makes’ biochar is an EBC AgroOrganic soil enhancer made from organic waste, designed to improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability. It works seamlessly with familiar inputs like urea, organic manure, cocopeat, and more to amplify their benefits. And today's a great day to talk about that because it's World Soil Day! Over 95% of our food depends on healthy soils, which supply 15 of the 18 essential elements plants need. Yet, climate change and human activity are degrading this precious resource. Sustainable practices such as minimum tillage, crop rotation, organic matter addition, and cover cropping are essential to restoring soil health. These measures improve fertility, conserve biodiversity, and even sequester carbon—key in combating climate change. MASH Makes’ biochar fits seamlessly into these practices. It enhances the soil’s ability to retain water, boost nutrient availability, and supports plant health. When combined with inputs like vermicompost, humic acid, and zeolite, biochar supercharges the benefits of sustainable soil management. 🌱 By choosing biochar, you’re investing in better soil health, higher yields, and a more sustainable future.

It has been very interesting following Tom's trials and tribulations and its impressive to see how far the small team has gotten. 📈 We've had some good conversations over the past period and I was happy to see that some of that made it into the podcast. Tom uses this to provide a great perspective on the different ways one can approach biochar carbon removal.💡 Go Restord! 🌱🖤 #biochar #cdr #scaling #impact

Our biochar works both horizontally—and vertically! Check out our impressive results with vertical farming here: https://lnkd.in/dTYNhEuZ Our AgriOrganic biochar is a sustainable soil amendment made from organic waste that's proven to improve soil health by retaining water and nutrients. In our latest commercial trial, we explored how biochar could enhance vertical farming—the practice of growing crops in stacked layers or vertically-inclined surfaces to maximise space and resource efficiency. Here’s what we found: 🪴 27% more productivity: Biochar allowed farmers to grow 27% more crops in the same space, removing the need for land expansion. 🪴 Extended growing seasons: With biochar, onions thrived in summer—a season they typically struggle in—unlocking the potential for a third crop rotation and greater year-round productivity. 🪴 Healthier soil: Biochar provided uniform moisture and nutrient distribution, ensuring plants had what they needed to grow healthily. 🪴 Reduced water use: Biochar eliminated the need for expensive water circulation systems or complex vertical farming towers.
