MASH Makes Begins Expansion of Carbon Removal Facility in Udupi MASH Makes, an Indo-Danish company that specializes in #biofuels and #biochar, has initiated Phase 2 of its carbon removal facility in #Udupi, #Karnataka, following a groundbreaking ceremony attended by stakeholders, including representatives from India and #Denmark. The expansion, once completed, is expected to double the facility’s production capacity to 7,000 tonnes of biofuel and 14,000 tonnes of biochar annually. The facility, described by the company as one of the largest carbon removal sites in Asia, aims to enhance carbon sequestration efforts while supporting #agricultural productivity. MASH Makes has provided biochar to farmers across India, reporting crop yield increases of up to 30%. The expansion is anticipated to double the current workforce at the facility from 20 to 40 full-time local employees and create indirect employment opportunities in sectors such as construction, logistics, and maintenance during the development phase.

Just before wrapping up 2024, pioneering Indo-Danish biochar and biofuels enterprise, MASH Makes achieved a remarkable milestone by inaugurating Phase 2 of their carbon removal facility in Udupi, Karnataka. Considered Asia’s largest carbon removal facility, the expansion will essentially double the facility's capacity to produce 7,000 tonnes of biofuel and 14,000 tonnes of biochar annually—empowering Indian farmers, supporting local industries, and reinforcing global climate action. Consul General, Head of Trade and Innovation Eske Bo Rosenberg, who was invited to break ground, highlighted the growing partnership between Denmark and India in advancing green fuels and climate innovation, a key focus of the Green Fuels Alliance (GFAI) announced between India and Denmark in 2023. He commended the company for its dual achievements in promoting sustainable agriculture through biochar and reducing reliance on fossil fuels with biofuels, describing it as a prominent example of successful Indo-Danish collaboration. With initiatives like these, India and Denmark are taking bold strides towards achieving carbon neutrality, enhancing soil health through biochar, and accelerating the global green energy transition.

22+ Field trials and counting! From sunflowers to chickpeas, to onions and wheat, our researchers have been hard at work conducting field trials on crops throughout India. When we put all the results together, it’s pretty clear. Our biochar helps farmers grow more with less season after season. And it’s not just yield increases that matter. Our biochar has also been proven to: – Improve Agronomic Efficiency of Nitrogen (AEN) by 42% – Bump water-holding capacity by 30% – Boost microbial activity Scores of pot trials also show impressive results (we’ll be sharing those soon, too). The take-home message? MASH Makes biochar is a cost-effective natural soil enhancer that helps their plants thrive for multiple seasons after just one application. And let’s not forget – it’s good for the planet, too. With every tonne of biochar processed, we’re more than double that amount of carbon back in the ground, where it will stay for hundreds – or even thousands – of years.
