Carbon sequestration · Rural India

We turn farms into measurable carbon sinks.

We turn crop residue into biochar: a stable, charcoal-like carbon that locks CO₂ into farmers’ soil for centuries while improving the land.

How it works

Soil to sink, tracked end to end.

Three phases, one continuous record. Every step is logged on the KriSHE Carbon app before the next one begins.

  1. 01 · Diagnose

    Know the ground

    Before anything goes into the field.

    1. Map the farmA GPS polygon of every plot, tied to a farmer profile.
    2. Sample the soilA baseline test on every plot, first.
    3. Score and prescribeWhat this soil needs, and how much biochar.

  2. 02 · Act

    Place the carbon

    Produce, charge and apply, to a standard.

    1. Make biocharIn modified Kon-Tiki kilns, each batch recorded.
    2. Charge and mixTo neutral, by a fixed recipe.
    3. ApplyTo a logged strip of the field, rotated yearly.

  3. 03 · Prove

    Show the result

    Measure, verify and report back.

    1. Re-testSoil measured again each season.
    2. CertifyCarbon independently verified and issued.
    3. ReportAn annual soil-health report for the farmer.

Why we can trust the numbers

Whose land, which soil, which batch.

Last-mile accuracy is the whole point. Four things make it real.

  1. 01

    Every farm is mapped

    GPS polygons of each plot, attached to a farmer profile with photo and landholding. We know precisely whose land, and where.

  2. 02

    Every soil is tested first

    A baseline soil test before any biochar goes down. We act on what the soil actually shows, not on assumption.

  3. 03

    Every batch is verifiable

    Each biochar batch carries a unique ID, GPS and timestamp, with automated checks so no two runs overlap or double-count.

  4. 04

    Every outcome is measured

    Soil is re-tested on schedule and carbon is independently certified. The result is a record, not a claim.

Why biochar

Trusted worldwide for permanent carbon removal

Biochar is a proven pathway for both carbon sequestration and soil improvement.

  • Market leader

    86% of all durable carbon removal credits delivered since 2022, and 92% of those retired, are biochar.

    Source: CDR.fyi, 2025

  • 1000+ years permanence

    Carbon sequestered in soil.

  • A pathway leading buyers choose

    Biochar is a removal pathway chosen by prominent buyers such as Microsoft, Google and Frontier.

  • Soil benefits

    Improves soil health, nutrient retention and water availability.

What makes KriSHE different

Technology, community and fair economics.

  1. 01

    Climapreneurs

    Rural entrepreneurs trained to run kilns and lead climate action on the ground.

  2. 02

    Smart kilns

    Low-cost, on-farm pyrolysis that cuts logistics and keeps quality high.

  3. 03

    Digital MRV

    Geotagged field data and layered verification create traceability from field to credit.

  4. 04

    Farmer-first economics

    Carbon finance is structured to create value for farmers and local operators.

One Climapreneur can support ~150 farmers and enable ~100 tonnes of biochar per year.

“I never thought that cotton waste could be converted into charcoal like this. We mixed it with farmyard manure and applied it on the field.”

“After we put it in our fields, the farming went well. This time we had sown cotton, and the cotton did well too.”
