About
Char2Cool e.V. is a registered German non-profit association based in Reisbach, Bavaria, that partners with local entrepreneurs in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Peru to convert harvested invasive water hyacinths into biochar using a frugal low-tech kiln. The biochar is sold locally as a soil conditioner, and the organisation sells CO2 compensation certificates based on the resulting carbon sink. It operates on a small scale with a focus on community-level, decentralized production.
