🔔 Climate Game-Changer Alert! 🔔 🚀 Madhur Jain, CEO & Co-founder of Varaha, is featured on the TIME100 Climate List for 2024! The 2024 list highlights global leaders executing groundbreaking business solutions to tackle climate change. This recognition isn't just a personal triumph but a thunderous shout-out to every smallholder farmer within Varaha's network combating climate-change head on! 🔥🔥🔥 Read more 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/g5hF_vYJ Watch more 📽️ https://bit.ly/TJimpact The news comes at the heel of another major milestone. Artemeter, a DRW subsidiary, acquired first-of-a-kind industrial biochar-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits from Varaha. Artemeter is a carbon investment manager facilitating the generation of carbon credits through strategic investments into high-quality carbon projects globally. 🌽 The biochar-based CDR crediting project in Telangana, India, deploys state-of-the-art pyro gasification technology to convert corn shanks, a by-product of a corn-seed facility, into high-quality biochar and syngas. Varaha then pulverizes the biochar, a stable form of carbon that effectively sequesters it for over 1,000 years, mixes it with bio manure, and provides it for free to local farmers. The project offers a sustainable carbon removal solution and enhances agricultural productivity by boosting water-holding capacity and reducing chemical fertilizer use while cutting emissions from corn shank decomposition.
