By deriving value and energy from previously discarded raw materials, Karmanterra is developing integrated waste recycling systems that solve multiple global challenges.
Waste that is burned or dumped into landfills emits significant amounts of CO2 and causes human health issues; this, along with heavy industry, is creating unpredictable scenarios for future warming of the planet.
Globally, nearly 12 million hectares of land become desertified every year. As this trend continues to increase, significant disruptions await regarding food production, mass migrations, and rising temperatures.
Eliminating the use of cobalt and nickel in battery applications will not only reduce the use of predatory and dangerous mining practices, but it will also reduce harmful pollutants, runoff, and carbon emissions.
By micronizing and infusing biochar, we create targeted products that improve soil health and plant outcomes.
With a range of benefits when infused into soil, our biochar retains more water, combats desertification, and increases microbial activity.
Our products divert waste and sequester carbon, in turn generating impactful carbon dioxide removal credits (CORCs).
One of our key areas of focus is helping GCC countries develop new models to combat desertification through restoration, water retention, and agricultural productivity. Infusing soil with nanochar reduces water requirements, improves plant health, and reduces the amount of fertilizers needed, making it a strategic tool in solving this issue. Specifically manufactured to restore soon-to-be or already desertified land, nanochar creates a foundation for a better, greener future while simultaneously sequestering carbon.
