Hi there! 👋
Skander here.
Today we are tackling something fascinating that has been the talk of the Carbon Removal Town for a while - Biochar.
But what is it? ”Biochar is a carbon-rich residue derived from the pyrolysis of biomass and stands at the intersection of sustainability, agriculture, and environmental stewardship.” - at least this is what the first definition that Wikipedia gives us.
Time for a deep dive!
Eirik Olsen, Climate Drifter, created the Biochar Series coming this week.
Eirik is an executive with over 20 years of experience in strategy, growth, operations, and finance across diverse sectors like education, finance, and real estate. With an MBA from Harvard and a Princeton undergraduate degree, his accomplishments include leading a $450M revenue business, initiating and scaling new products to generate over $9M annually, and directing strategic efforts in a $1B company and a $2.5B merger. Eirik has also successfully executed over 50 M&A transactions valued at $8B+.
In Part 1, Eirik dives into the 'Production, Properties, and Uses' of biochar.
For the first time on Climate Drift, he's delivering the deep dive via slides—think high-density, info-packed slides that are as enlightening as they are entertaining.
Let’s dive in 🌊
