Story

Project Overview

The initiative focuses on transforming crop residues such as cocoa pod husks, maize cobs, and other agricultural by-products into high quality biochar. Produced using improved artisanal kilns and monitored through digital MRV tools, the biochar is applied locally or supplied to certified carbon removal markets. Each tonne of biochar represents long term carbon storage and helps support soil restoration in farming communities.

The project is being deployed across key agricultural regions in Ghana, with expansion opportunities across West Africa and selected sites in North America.

Our Approach

Ecovise Group’s biochar program is built on four pillars:

Technology

Deployment of improved kilns, optimized operating procedures, and quality control systems to ensure consistent, high performance biochar production

Digital MRV

Implementation of digital monitoring, data capture, and verification tools to meet the requirements of leading carbon removal standards and offtake partners.

Community Integration

Collaboration with farmer groups, cooperatives, and rural networks to create income opportunities, support local training, and ensure responsible biomass sourcing.

Climate Impact

Delivery of durable carbon removals supported by recognized methodologies, with a focus on transparent, credible, and verifiable climate outcomes.

Development Goals

Produce scalable, high quality biochar aligned with international carbon standards

Create new income opportunities for women and youth in rural communities

Strengthen agricultural value chains through soil improvement and residue management

Support long term climate commitments through durable carbon removal at scale

Subsidized biochar distributed to farmers, our way of giving back to the community.

e make climate action measurable, inclusive, and profitable — empowering local people to thrive in a low-carbon future.

Story

Current Status

Ecovise Group is currently preparing multi site implementation across Ghana, engaging with community partners, and establishing offtake pathways with carbon removal buyers in North America and internationally.

Pilot deployments have demonstrated strong production performance, reliable feedstock availability, and positive community reception.

From biochar carbon removal in agricultural regions to orphan well reclamation and MRV system deployment, our work creates tangible progress toward a sustainable, low carbon future.

Whether you’re developing a carbon project, validating emissions data, or implementing digital MRV systems, Ecovise delivers results you can verify — and impact you can measure.
