Here is another dispatch of Biochaar++ as the black gram and wheat sowing season starts this November. For the CSR Foundations, we have started smaller deliveries of 15 to 20 tons rather than our standard 25 tons trucks because they have smaller budgets and limited farmers. Thanks Piyush Sharma for making it happen and Gokul Gaikwad and Vilas Masare for delivering it to the farmers. #biochar #Biochaar++ #cotton #gram #wheat #rice #Akola

Regenerative agriculture is going to the way forwards as feeding massive 8 billion population becomes a challenge as we continue to lose humus and topsoil during every cultivation. #biochar #regenerativeagriculture #soil #soc #farmers
So this dust storm tore through the Palouse today. My daughter called from Moscow Idaho (US) and said it was very eerie, it got completely dark. She also found it equally eerie that her campus peers didn’t know that it was top soil blowing in from thousands of acres of freshly ploughed farmland. I don’t want to ever villainize farmers, period. But this is disastrous. Based on my rough “back of the napkin” math, for every 5 acres of Palouse farmland, we lose the equivalent weight of 32 Toyota corollas annually from wind and water erosion. You wonder why I’m a passionate about soil, regenerative agriculture and biodiversity? It’s because I see this and understand what it means for future generations.

The article in Joule is the eye opener even after considering the price of renewable electricity will continue to fall over the next decade. The cost of storage, transport and delivery to the consumer comes pretty high. The worst point is that the overall cost of e Hydrogen is actually higher than the cost of removal of CO2, hence companies will end up buying CD-R in thousands of tons rather than switching to green hydrogen as energy source. What we can learn from this? 1. We need a better hydrogen carrier which is easier to store, transport and deliver e Hydrogen. Naturally bio methanol comes as the first choice. 2. Methanol could be converted into Green hydrogen at any point where methanol could be developed. There are companies that can have 80% conversion efficiency and methanol can be transported just like any other liquid fuel with smaller modifications. 3. It is better to use CO2 from the thermal or biogas stations along with green H2 and blend with syngas from the pyrolyzer to produce methanol. This overall method of combining concentrated CO2 from bio sources with eH2. This methanol should be carried with them. #biomass #greenhydrogen #methnol #hydrogencarrier Methanol Institute

Please see Amol Samrutwar, our first regenerative agriculture practitioner who believed in us even before our product was launched. He was with us during first nursery experiments in February 2023. Then he applied our Biochaar++ in June 2023 for his 0.5 acre soils for cotton stalk and pigeon pea crops in his farm in Yawatmal district of Maharashtra. After having super crop last year, he has expanded to 10 acres this year. This year, he didn’t say anything but just expressed himself through his gestures. He is expecting minimum 15-18 quintals of cotton produce per acre this year. (This equals to 3.75-4.5 tons of cotton per hectare) Now more farmers are coming forward to make their farms regenerative agriculture in his area and we are finalising around 100 acres of more pilot in the same place for November 2024 application. #Yawatmal #biochar #cotton #Biochaar++ #pigionpea #regenrativeagriculture #Maharashtra #soc #som

We will be covering the districts of Hassan, Shivmoga and Chikmanglur in the state of Karnataka and Kasargod, Idukki and Wayanad in the state of Kerala. The FPOs will be trained in compost making and activation of biochar. Our partner Varhad Capital Pvt Ltd will train them in production of biochar from their agricultural residue. #Coffee #gardenwaste #biochar #compost #spices #Biochaar++ #Kasargod #Wayanad #Idukki #Shivamogga #Chikkamaglur #Hassan #Karnataka #Kerala
We hosted FPOs of Fairtrade International at our Nagpur office for the biochar production in the artisanal way using kontiki approved by Ithaka Institute as per Carbon Standards International AG ' global artisanal C-sink credits. Shri Manoj Kumar ji coordinated the 15 Farmer Producer companies/ Cooperatives from the southern states of Kerala and Karnataka who produce coffee and spices. Every FPO has around 1,000 farmer members with 2 hectares of land. Dr Gopi and Dr Akhil from the Coffee Board Of India presented the requirements of the FPOs for the production of the good quality of inputs. Our director, Shri Prakash Rao explained the production process in Malyali and then our CEO Shri Prasad Dahapute explained the process of compost making and activation of biochar and soil application. We were happy to answer the questions from the directors of FPOs related to CDR credits and Biochaar++ production. Our team of Satwiksingh Khagar and Kanchan Waghmare coordinated with Shri Yogesh Gajaralwar ji from Sanjivanii Agro Machinery so that a two days joint program goes well. We will be taking field trip and field training of the farmers and artisans from the Coffee waste and garden waste in association with Fairtrade International and Coffee Board Of India in the month of November 2024. #biochar #farmers #fpo #cooperatives #carboncredits #capacitybuilding #training

We have seen Scott Dwire in person and felt his deep knowledge about the sector . Although, everyone sees our CEO in field activities all the time, Natura Solve CEO, Jennifer Mitchell is also full of energy, all the time, who has forced us to conduct multiple soil tests to track and prove the soil organic carbon improvement through the application of Biochaar++ and Soilmix. And Mike Hesford keeps track of all the test results and data, where field executives Satwiksingh Khagar Dishant Sharnagat and Purushottam Turkar collect the samples at regular intervals. When we are able to convert all the manure and feedstock into compost, which is blended with our biochar for the production of Biochaar++, we can track all the details of CO2, CH4 and other parameters from the activities. End of the day, CO2 stored in the soil through improvement in #SOC is the real certificate of storing Carbon in the soil permanently. Fortunately, we found that Verra has launched a new standard in early September 2024 (just 11 days ago) for the same. We will be working with this standard along with our partner companies on these credits. #soc #carbonsequestration #regenerativeagriculture #akola #compost #soybean #Biochaar++

We have done our first application of the Solimix from Natura Solve which was hand delivered by Scott Dwire to our investor Sanjay P. in Nagpur. We have done the first dose of application on the soybean farm in Akola district to observe the improvement in soil organic matter to 3%. The current soil organic matter right now in this soil is just 1.2% and it needs to be 3% for the sustainable agriculture. We have also done a pilot project using our two types of Biochaar++ in the farm just adjacent to this farm where we will measure the improvement in soil organic carbon from 0.2% and soil organic matter just 1.2%. We hope to improve this to 0.5% soc and 3% som within next 25 months. The farm selection was done where soil is more sandy than loamy because it has a smaller rock bed. When our products work in such tough conditions, they may do wonders for other farmers. We are sharing a video of our CEO Prasad Dahapute which was shot by Vilas Masare . #soc #som #soybean #akola #maharashtra #Biochaar++ #cottonstalk #biochar #compost

Our marketing team of Dishant Sharnagat , Purushottam Turkar and Satwiksingh Khagar participated in a workshop organised by Krishi Vigyan Kendra , Nagpur in association with FPO Kanholibara FPC. The workshop focused on the organic farming initiative and its usefulness for the farmers as it reduces their cash expenditure on agricultural inputs. Few farmer members and directors of the FPC went to kurukshetra to see the organic farming and they shared their experiences during the visit to Haryanaduring the workshop. We thank Shri. Mayur Meshram ji from KVK, Nagpur & Shri. Santosh ji ( director of FPO) for the opportunity. The directors of the FPO and farmer members want Varhad Capital Pvt Ltd to establish the biochar production unit in their village and the farmers have committed to provide us biomass of cotton stalk and pigeonpea stalk. We at GK91 Digital Pvt Ltd will enrich the biochar to #Biochaar++. The board of directors of FPO are coming to see our CEO in Nagpur office next week for the action plan finalization. #biochar #cotton #pigeonpea #pulses #cottonstalk #Biochaar++ #Nagpur #fpo #farmers
