Bio-Logical: Advancing carbon dioxide removal through Biochar

Bio-Logical specialises in carbon dioxide removal through the conversion of agricultural waste into biochar, a durable material that sequesters carbon for the long term. The company combines this biochar with organic fertiliser and provides it to smallholder farmers in the region. This process not only revitalises the land but also enhances crop drought resistance and boosts yields. The resulting carbon credits generated from this practice are then sold on the market.

Bio-Logical’s innovation contributes to:

  • Climate Change Mitigation: By reducing greenhouse gas emissions through carbon sequestration.
  • Climate Resilience and Regenerative Agriculture: By enabling more sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural practices that improve soil health and increase productivity.

  • HQ Location: London, United Kingdom
  • Founded: 2022
  • UN SDGs: 2. Zero hunger, 7. Affordable and clean energy, 12. Responsible consumption and production, 13. Climate action

The challenge posed by the climate crisis is monumental: an estimated $6.2T in annual investments is required to reach net zero by 2050. This is more than an environmental shift—it represents a complete rewiring of our economy, necessitating the rapid and large-scale deployment of capital.

Innovation is at the heart of this transition, from groundbreaking ideas like Carbon Capture to the widespread adoption of solutions like electric vehicles and solar energy. The mission of Net Zero Insights is to power this capital flow by equipping leaders with crucial climate tech data, insights, and research.

Since 2019, they have tracked over 80,000 organisations and analysed millions of data points to offer the most comprehensive view of the climate tech market.

By connecting key players in the field, Net Zero Insights aim to fuel ecosystem growth and accelerate progress towards the UN’s climate goals and to become the trusted partner for leaders seeking reliable and in-depth data on climate tech—from the lab to public market companies.
