The technologies rebalancing the planet
There’s no single approach to solving the climate crisis. It will take a broad spectrum of methods — all may play a role. Learn more about them.
1
Biochar
When organic matter is burned or left to decay, it releases its carbon content back into the atmosphere as CO2. However, biochar projects circumvent this natural process by heating organic matter (biomass) in the absence of oxygen so that no carbon is released, thereby becoming a method of carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
2
Improved cookstoves
More than 2 billion people in 128 countries around the globe rely on inefficient, carbon-burning stoves to cook their food on a regular basis. These stoves burn firewood, charcoal, kerosene, or coal, and they require a large amount of fuel to cook food because most of that fuel’s energy is lost in the process.

ARR
ARR projects are carbon-capture projects that promote biomass growth that otherwise would be absent from an area. ARR projects typically focus on regions where forests and vegetation have been depleted or degraded for a number of years, or else building up forests in areas where forest is not the natural state.
