Project Benefits
Biochar is arguably the only technology currently in practice that can appreciably and securely remove carbon from the atmosphere at low or negative net cost. The OpenChar Initiative aims to reduce and ultimately eliminate barriers to implementation to ensure it happens as fast as possible.

Open-sourced Collaboration
The OpenChar Initiative exists as an open-source website that allows interested individuals and organisations to contribute to the development of Biochar technology. This can be through submitting designs, modifying designs, solving problems, contributing case histories, providing practical guidance and operational knowledge.
