Unleashing the Power of Biochar Credits for a Sustainable Future

Marillion Ex introduces a groundbreaking opportunity to finance biochar production and be at the forefront of the biochar revolution. Our Biochar Pre-Credits program offers a unique approach to funding biochar projects upfront by leveraging the sale of carbon removal rights.

Key Features

Financing Biochar Production: Marillion's Biochar Pre-Credits program allows investors to participate in financing biochar production. By purchasing carbon removal rights, you play a vital role in supporting the establishment and expansion of biochar projects.
Carbon Removal Rights: With your investment, you secure carbon removal rights equivalent to the amount of carbon that will be sequestered through the production and application of biochar. These rights can be sold or traded on the MarillionEx Diamond Standard Carbon Markets, providing a valuable asset and potential returns on your investment.
Scale and Raw Material: Marillion's raw material resource from regenerative sustainable agriculture and their expertise in the biochar industry ensures access to competitive sustainable raw materials and the ability to scale production to meet market demand.
Carbon Sequestration: Marillion's Biochar Credits program focuses on the production and application of biochar, a carbonrich substance that helps capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to long-term carbon sequestration.
Soil Health Enhancement: Biochar acts as a powerful soil amendment, improving soil structure, nutrient retention, and water-holding capacity. By investing in biochar, you support sustainable agriculture practices and the restoration of degraded soils.
Environmental Benefits: Biochar production and application contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment. It also helps mitigate soil erosion, enhance water quality, and support biodiversity conservation.
Community Engagement: Marillion actively engages local communities and stakeholders in the biochar production and utilization process. Through profit-sharing initiatives, we foster sustainable partnerships that benefit both the environment and local economies.

Key Highlights

Agricultural Dominance: Biochar is projected to capture over 70% of the biochar market share by value in 2030, emphasizing its vital role in agriculture. With centuries of historical usage as a soil amendment, biochar enriches soil organic matter and enhances overall soil health.
Soil Conditioning Benefits: Biochar requires no additional processing and can be directly incorporated into soil as a soil conditioner. By improving soil surface area, bulk density, porosity, aggregate stability, penetration resistance, and moisture content, biochar fosters optimal growing conditions for crops.
Sustainable Agriculture: Marillion's biochar investment aligns with the principles of sustainable agriculture. By integrating biochar into regenerative agriculture practices, we aim to promote long-term soil fertility, carbon sequestration, and reduced environmental impact.
Sustainable Feedstock: Woody biomass from Marillions ranch land has established itself as the most widely utilized feedstock for biochar production. It offers exceptional advantages, including low sulfur and heavy metal content, as well as controllable particulate emissions.
Cost-Effective Solution: The utilization of woody biomass as a raw material for biochar production proves to be a cost-effective solution. Its affordability makes it a preferred choice for investors, ensuring sustainable growth in the biochar market.
Environmental Benefits: By investing in Marillion's Biochar program, you contribute to the utilization of woody biomass, which supports sustainable regenerative agriculture . This investment aligns with global efforts to promote the efficient utilization of biomass resources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Promising Growth: The woody biomass segment is projected to witness a significant compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 10% during the forecast period. This growth highlights the increasing demand for biochar derived from woody biomass and the potential for attractive returns on your investment.

At Marillion, we offer an exciting investment opportunity in the production of biochar, a sustainable and carbon-enhancing product derived from the conversion of savanna scrub from the neglected ranch which Marillion recently acquired. By investing in this innovative project, you contribute to carbon sequestration, land restoration, and the promotion of sustainable practices.

Biochar Production Process

Savanna Scrub Clearing: On one hectare of savanna scrub, approximately 30 tons of wood can be cleared sustainably. This clearing process is carefully managed to minimize environmental impact and promote ecosystem regeneration.
Conversion to Biochar: The cleared wood is processed using traditional methods, thereby creating employment for the local community, who convert the scrub into it into biochar. Through this controlled traditional method and decomposition process, volatile components are removed, leaving behind a stable carbon-rich material.
Application and Carbon Sequestration: The produced biochar is then distributed and applied to agricultural lands or degraded soils. Biochar acts as a valuable soil amendment, enhancing nutrient retention, improving soil structure, and promoting microbial activity. Importantly, biochar has the unique ability to sequester carbon in the soil, locking it away for long periods.

Benefits of Biochar Investment

Carbon Sequestration: By investing in biochar, you actively contribute to carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Soil Health and Restoration: The application of biochar improves soil fertility, nutrient availability, water retention, and overall soil health. It promotes sustainable agriculture practices and supports land restoration efforts.
Financial Returns: As an investor, you will receive returns from the sale of biochar and potential revenue from the climate credits generated. The financial viability of the investment is supported by the increasing demand for biochar and carbon offset initiatives.

Investment Process

Select Your Investment

Choose the desired investment amount based on the number of hectares you wish to invest in for biochar production from regenerative agriculture practices on the Marillion's Ranch .Investments are sold in units of 10 hectares.

Land Allocation

Your investment will be allocated to specific land areas where bio chard production using traditional methods will be implemented. Each investment contributes to the restoration and improvement of the allocated land, biochar production and carbon sequestration.

Professional Management

Our experienced team of specialists will oversee the implementation and ongoing management of the projects. This includes soil regeneration, biodiversity enhancement, water management, community development and poverty alleviation

Investment Returns

As the biochar projects progress, investors can benefit from the potential returns generated through:
- Climate Credits
- Bio-Char organic fertiliser sales from the waste produced from charcoal production
- Water credits from reduced run off and efficient irrigation systems
- Community credits from community up-liftment , poverty reduction

Investment Details

Investment Volume: Investors can participate by funding the production of biochar from as little as one hectare of savanna scrub, equivalent to approximately 30 tons of wood which converts to approximately 5 tons of biochar.
Returns: Over the course of 30 years, each ton of biochar produced sequesters 3 tons of carbon per year from the atmosphere. As an investor, you will receive returns based on the sale of the biochar produced and the corresponding climate credits generated over a 30 year period.
Climate Credits: The biochar produced will be eligible for climate credits, which can be sold through the Marillion.
Diamond Standard Carbon Exchange: These credits represent the environmental impact and carbon sequestration achieved through the biochar investment.
