🫶 You know who you are. 📈 The 2025 Global Biochar Survey is now live. It’s our chance to understand how biochar is being produced, used, and scaled worldwide. The 2023 report highlighted: ◾Revenues from biochar exceeded $600M USD in 2023 (CAGR of 97% from 2021-2023) ◾ Revenues projected to grow further to nearly $3.3 Billion by 2025 ◾ The CDR markets for biochar carbon credits are thriving, the majority of biochar producers do not generate Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) credi

🥊 Remember that time when I went head-to-head with Martin Freimüller - aka DACman - in the CDR Policy Scoop’s inaugural SHOWDOWN debate: Biochar vs DAC? ⭐ It was such a personal highlight for me to engage with something I feel particularly passionate about - in a new, exciting format. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dG8Wkph9 😍 Sure, this debate ruffled some feathers at first. But, it clearly resonated with a lot of people too. We had over 1,000 registrations to the Linkedin l
