Solution

Takachar combats climate change by repurposing vast quantities of waste biomass into globally marketable goods. They create valuable products such as solid fuels, fertilisers, liquid biofuels, activated chemicals etc. from the field and forest wastes like rice husks, rice straws, and coconut shells. Climate change mitigation is made possible by their tractor-mounted machine that converts agricultural waste into marketable bioproducts in the form of fuel and fertiliser.

Takachar also creates small-scale, low-cost, transportable systems that can attach to the rear of tractors, bullock carts and pick-up vans, which can be deployed in rural, difficult-to-reach communities. These are used to create higher-value, carbon-negative bioproducts without applying any external energy or heat.
