CnerG Partners with KTIS and Happy Ground on Biochar Carbon Removal Projects

CnerG partners with KTIS and Happy Ground on a biochar project in Thailand aimed at soil improvement, CO₂ sequestration, and the development of high-quality carbon removal credits.

CnerG is collaborating with KTIS and Happy Ground to advance a biochar project in Thailand that brings together agriculture, carbon removal, and long-term soil stewardship. The partnership is built around using sugarcane byproducts to produce biochar and applying it to farmland in ways that strengthen soil systems and support durable CO₂ sequestration. The work began earlier this year and has continued across several field activities, giving the teams a clearer understanding of both agricultural and climate impacts.

Biochar sits at an important intersection for sustainability teams. It reduces GHG emissions by locking carbon into a stable form, and it supports farming systems by improving soil aeration, moisture retention, and nutrient availability. These benefits matter not only for climate targets but also for the long-term productivity of agricultural land. For KTIS, understanding these agronomic outcomes is essential, as biochar carbon removal must be paired with clear evidence of benefits to farmers, soils, and yields. Across early field activities, the partners have begun to see how farmers respond to biochar and what support is required to scale production and application responsibly.

A key focus of the collaboration is the generation of high-quality carbon credits backed by measurable carbon capture and clear co-benefits for soil health. The project aligns with Thailand’s broader goals around low-carbon agriculture and the emerging role of carbon markets in supporting rural economies. KTIS’s role in guiding the project’s biochar production provides a strong foundation for scaling, while Happy Ground’s presence in the field allows the work to stay closely connected to farmers’ experiences and practical realities.

For CnerG, the project represents a meaningful opportunity to bring credible carbon removal from Thailand into global markets. The work includes building the data pathways needed for certification, helping define project boundaries and monitoring practices, and preparing credit buyers to understand both the climate impact and agricultural benefits of this approach. The collaboration emphasizes transparency, rigorous quantification, and a clear link between carbon storage and improvements in soil systems.

In the next phase of the project, the partners will move through additional research, soil analysis, application cycles, and data collection that contribute to future certification efforts. This stage of work is essential for demonstrating carbon sequestration at scale and building confidence for buyers seeking removal credits with long-term climate value. The collaboration reflects a shared interest in bringing together agricultural knowledge, sustainability expertise, and global market access.

As the work progresses, the project will continue to open opportunities for conversations with sustainability teams focused on high-integrity carbon removal, regenerative agriculture, and practical approaches to lowering GHG emissions across supply chains.
