To solve food insecurity and climate change simultaneously by transforming agricultural waste into soil-reviving biochar and high-integrity carbon removals.

PathBeing develops decentralized biochar and durable carbon removal projects across African agricultural value chains.We work with local agricultural businesses and cooperatives to produce biochar from residues such as rice husks, coffee husks, and cacao pods—creating both agronomic and climate value.

Africa’s Agriculture at a Breaking Point

Africa is facing a convergence of soil degradation, climate volatility, and food insecurity. Over 80% of farmland in Sub-Saharan Africa is moderately or severely degraded. Smallholder farmers—who make up more than 90% of the agricultural workforce—are experiencing declining yields, rising fertilizer costs, and unstable harvests.At the same time, millions of tons of agricultural biomass are burned or left unused each year, releasing avoidable CO₂ while valuable resources go to waste. Meanwhile, global demand for high-quality carbon removal credits is rapidly increasing—but supply remains severely constrained, particularly in Africa.Centralized infrastructure rarely matches the fragmented reality of rural supply chains—where most farms are small or mid-sized.

100+ Year Solution

Permanently sequesters carbon for centuries, offering a durable climate solution.

Yield Boost

Boosts crop yields by 30–50% by retaining water and nutrients in the soil.

Fertilizer Savings

Reduces chemical fertilizer needs by up to 50%, lowering costs for farmers.

Carbon Removal

Sequesters 2 tons of CO₂ for every ton produced, creating high-value credits..

• Centralized Industrial

Mega-plants requiring massive biomass transport
* High logistics costs
* Disconnect from local farmers
* High CAPEX risk

• Artisan / Manual

Mega-plants requiring massive biomass transport
* High logistics costs
* Disconnect from local farmers
* High CAPEX risk

• Decentralized Industrial

Medium-scale pyrolysis units deployed directly in supply chains
* Eliminates transport costs
* Industrial-grade quality & MRV
* Supports local resilience

01. Joint Venture Operations

We co-operate biochar production with local agribusinesses and cooperatives, ensuring local ownership and operational resilience.Project Co-Development
PathBeing does not operate as a consultant. We co-develop projects to ensure success:
* Feedstock assessment & project design
* Equipment selection and deployment
* Operations, data collection, and MRV
* Carbon certification and market access

02. Biochar CDR Fund

A fund-leveraged platform connecting decentralized African projects to global climate finance and high-value carbon markets.Scaling Through Carbon Finance
We enable small and mid-sized agricultural players to participate in carbon markets—democratizing access to capital while delivering measurable climate impact.

Zambia: Maize Cob to Avocado

Zambia: Sustainable Avocado Growth
FORMAL PoC COMPLETED｜2025
Upcycling maize cobs into nutrient-rich biochar to enhance avocado orchard health and moisture retention. This project empowers local growers to achieve sustainable, high-yield fruit production for export.

Uganda: Coffee Husk Yield Boost

Uganda: Circular Coffee Farming
FORMAL PoC COMPLETED｜2025
Converting coffee processing husks into biochar to revitalize plantations and significantly increase crop yields. This circular approach strengthens soil resilience and long-term income for smallholder coffee farmers.

Kenya: Sugarcane Bagasse Biochar

Kenya: Restoring Soil Fertility
EARLY-STAGE VALIDATION
Transforming sugarcane bagasse into premium biochar to restore depleted soils in Kenyan sugar belts. This initiative provides a cost-effective alternative to chemical fertilizers while reducing industrial agricultural waste.
