Great having Ecohz onboard, both removing carbon themselves and promoting carbon removal to their network and customers! The article describing their reason to go for biochar is a good read (objectively speaking, of course!): https://lnkd.in/dVnijkiU The need for serious climate action is pressing, and having companies like Ecozh leading the way to impact, is great step forward.
Why is Ecohz using #biochar to compensate for its own emissions? While removing substantial amounts of carbon from the atmosphere may sound complex, biochar is easy to make and guarantee long-term storage. Biochar also has an agricultural runoff - it has been used for a long time for soil enhancement. Addressing residual emissions is an essential part of every company’s climate journey. Head of Advisory & Services, Madeleine Mowinckel at Ecohz says "We have compensated our emissions from business travel for years but this year, we took a broader approach, adding emissions from IT equipment, employee commuting, upstream fuel- and energy-related emissions. We are working on policies to reduce our emissions but, like most companies, we don’t currently have solutions to eliminate all of them. We are happy to support a technology like biochar, which will remove and store carbon permanently, while additionally improving climate resilience and soil quality. It’s a triple win.” Ecohz contacted Arne Haabeth in Down to Earth - Carbon Removal a Norway-based carbon removal company, to purchase carbon removal credits (CRC), market-based instruments certifying that one tonne of carbon has been extracted from the atmosphere and durably stored.
