    Environmental Benefits of Activated-char
    • The process produces Activated - char from Agriculture Biomass, Activated - char is mostly carbon and is used in the soil, resulting in the carbon being locked away in the soil creating a carbon sink for end users (farmers) to sell carbon credits, mitigating climate change.
    • Due to the high mineral and moisture content in certain Agriculture Biomass, it is not practical to use large volumes in the energy sector, hence low demand. Our patented process can safely use all Agriculture Biomass to generate sustainable electricity and promote organic sustainable farming.
    • As dumped agriculture biomass decomposes, it releases CO2, CO, Methane and other green house gases which are flammable and can become a source of fire hazard during the dry season, contributing to the transboundary haze. By turning it into Activated - char, the effects of the decomposition is mitigated, and a carbon sink is created ‘GREENING – UP’ the palm oil industry by reducing green-house gas emissions..
    • Activated - char acts as a “sponge” for nutrients, trapping them in the pores and prevent water from leaching them away. This reduces fertilizer loss thus reducing contamination of water bodies.
