Biochar Buildings – From Housing Stock to Carbon Sink

地球生物炭是一家英国生物炭供应商，致力于通过以负担得起的价格提供高性能、可持续的产品来应对气候变化。自2018年推出以来，它一直在谈论一种强大的土壤修正案，直到最近，科学和园艺学一直忽视了这一点。到目前为止，该公司已经帮助数百名国内园丁和土地管理人员从在土壤中使用有害化学产品转变为投资于更有效、更长期的解决方案，对植物和地球都有利。地球是英国领先的生物碳初创公司。Earth开发了市场上第一个国内生物炭窑炉，也是英国唯一能够提供生物炭和相关碳信用的生物炭供应商。该公司已经进行了英国最大规模的生物炭商业试验，并在农场、地方当局公园和专业托儿所实施了生物炭。地球与KTN有着长期的关系，并赢得了多笔小额赠款。最近，该团队赢得了年度青年创新者奖Innovate UK的公共资金，以发展他们的生物炭和碳信用业务。该公司以研究为主导，使命是将生物炭作为一种可获取的碳捕获形式来扩展。地球的创始人之一洛蒂已经申请了青年创新者后续基金，以推广她的新产品概念。该项目将把一个新颖的生物炭产品想法转化为最低限度的可行产品，为吸引投资者和商业化做好准备。该产品每年捕获和储存高达675万吨的二氧化碳，将有助于英国房地产业的脱碳。应对气候紧急情况是地球生物炭的核心，洛蒂相信这可以成为解决方案：“IPCC最近的报告说，我们有8年的时间才能扭转最糟糕的气候变化。生物炭是人类有史以来面临的最大威胁的众多解决方案之一。让我抱有希望的是，生物炭还有许多其他好处，以及碳捕获和储存，因此实现这一点应该不会太难。我希望我的工作能激励其他人选择另一种气候变化解决方案，并在为时已晚之前充分发挥其潜力。

Earthly Biochar is a UK biochar supplier, committed to combating climate change through making high-performance, sustainable products accessible at affordable prices. Since its launch in 2018, it's been starting conversations about a powerful soil amendment which has, until recently, been somewhat overlooked by science and horticulture. To date, the company has helped hundreds of domestic gardeners and land managers to make the transition from using harmful chemical products in their soil to investing in more effective, long-term solutions friendly to both plants and the planet.Earthly is the leading biochar startup in the UK. Earthly developed the first domestic biochar kiln on the market and is the only biochar supplier in the UK able to deliver biochar and the associated carbon credits. The company has conducted the largest commercial trials of biochar in the UK and has implemented biochar on farms, local authority parks and professional nurseries. Earthly has a long-standing relationship with the KTN and has won multiple small grants. Recently, the team won public funding from Innovate UK, the Young Innovators of the Year Award, to develop their biochar and carbon credits business. The company is research led and is on a mission to scale biochar as an accessible form of carbon capture.Lottie, one of the founders of Earthly, has applied for the Young Innovators Follow on Fund to take forward a new product concept of hers. The project will turn a novel biochar product idea into a minimum viable product, ready for attracting investors and commercialisation. The product will help decarbonise the UK's housing industry by capturing and storing up to 6.75 Mt CO2 each year.Tackling the climate emergency is at the heart of Earthly Biochar and Lottie believes it can be the solution: 'The recent IPCC report says we have 8 years until the worst of climate change is irreversible. Biochar is one of the many solutions to the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. What gives me hope is that biochar has so many other benefits, along with carbon capture and storage, that it shouldn't be too hard to make this a reality. I hope my work inspires others to pick another solution to climate change and bring it to its full potential before it's too late.'
