Rice husk is an abundant agricultural residue in Odisha.
We convert it into stable biochar for permanent soil carbon storage.

How it works
Project Kalinga follows a five-step process: sourcing rice husk from local partner mills, preparing the feedstock, controlled pyrolysis at 450-600°C, recovering syngas for process heat, and applying biochar to agricultural soils.
