NetZero is a climate venture specialising in long-term carbon removal from the atmosphere. We turn agricultural residues into biochar, a very stable form of carbon. The process is as follows: plants capture carbon from the atmosphere during photosynthesis; we extract and stabilise this carbon through a pyrolysis process; the resulting biochar is buried in the soil, safely storing the carbon out of the atmosphere for hundreds of years. This allows us to generate high-quality carbon credits while providing many co-benefits, such as increased crop yields through biochar use in soils, and production of renewable electricity from the excess energy of pyrolysis. NetZero’s mission is to bring biochar at scale in the tropics - for climate and people, now. In 2022, NetZero was selected as a winner of Elon Musk’s XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition and was awarded the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label.
