Restoring Soils, Reducing Emissions
In eastern India, rice farming leaves behind vast residues that are often burned, causing pollution and emissions. At LongStraw, we transform this waste into biochar through pyrolysis — restoring soils, improving yields, and reducing reliance on fertilizers. Our circular, zero-waste technology is sustainably operated and strategically located near biomass sources to minimize costs and emissions.

Environmental Aspects
Biochar locks carbon in a stable form for centuries, making it one of the most durable solutions for climate mitigation. Beyond carbon, it reduces nitrous oxide emissions by 30–50% and methane from paddy fields by up to 25% — critical in regions like Eastern India. Its porous structure enhances soil health, nurtures biodiversity, and restores ecological balance while reducing chemical dependency.

Social Aspects
Our mission is rooted in respect for farming communities, guided by Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) and local knowledge systems. Farmers are equal partners in this transition, gaining both agency and agronomic benefits. By turning crop residues into biochar, we reduce costs, boost yields, and open access to carbon markets — while also creating jobs, building skills, and integrating tradition with technology.
