Biochar Investments
Unleashing the Power of Biochar Credits for a Sustainable Future
MarillionEx introduces a powerful opportunity to finance biochar production and participate in the next wave of high-integrity carbon removal and soil restoration.
Our Biochar Pre-Credits model is designed to help fund biochar projects upfront by leveraging the sale of carbon removal rights—creating a tangible environmental outcome and a potential return pathway through biochar sales and credit markets.
Why Biochar?
Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material created by converting biomass into a long-lived form of carbon that can be used to improve soils and support regeneration.
What biochar helps unlock
Carbon Removal Potential
Subject to methodology and verification
Soil Health Enhancement
Structure, nutrient retention, water-holding capacity
Agricultural Resilience
Healthier soils through better growing conditions
Environmental Co-benefits
Reduced erosion and improved land productivity
Community Participation
Local employment and value-chain upliftment
Biochar Pre-Credits: Key Features
Financing Biochar Production
By investing in Biochar Pre-Credits, you help fund the establishment and expansion of biochar production capacity—supporting project execution from day one.
Carbon Removal Rights
Your investment secures carbon removal rights linked to the amount of carbon intended to be sequestered through the production and application of biochar (subject to verification and certification). These rights may be sold or traded via the MarillionEx Diamond Standard Carbon Markets.
Scale and Sustainable Feedstock
MarillionEx leverages raw material resources from regenerative, sustainable agriculture and ranch operations—supporting scalable biochar production with competitive feedstock supply.
Soil Health and Agricultural Performance
Biochar can be incorporated into soils with minimal processing, supporting improved growing conditions through increased surface area, porosity, aggregation, and moisture performance.
Community Engagement
Biochar production and land restoration create opportunities for local employment, skills development, and community partnerships—supported through structured engagement and upliftment initiatives.
Biochar Production on Marillion's Ranch Land
Savanna Scrub Clearing
On one hectare of savanna scrub, approximately 30 tons of wood can be cleared sustainably (managed to minimize ecological disturbance and support regeneration).
Conversion to Biochar
The cleared biomass is converted into biochar using controlled traditional methods—supporting local employment and producing a stable carbon-rich product.
Application and Carbon Sequestration
Biochar is applied to agricultural land or degraded soils where it can support soil improvement and long-term carbon storage (subject to verification frameworks).
Benefits of Biochar Investment
Carbon removal support
Contribute to measurable climate impact through verified sequestration pathways
Soil regeneration
Improve soil fertility, nutrient cycling, and water retention
Restoration outcomes
Support land rehabilitation and better ecosystem performance
Financial potential
Returns may be generated through biochar sales and eligible climate/carbon credits
Multi-credit upside
Depending on the project design, additional value streams may include water and community outcomes
