IBI (International Biochar Initiative)

The International Biochar Initiative (IBI) is a global organization dedicated to promoting the sustainable production and use of biochar—a type of charcoal made from organic waste. Biochar can improve soil health, increase crop yields, and help reduce greenhouse gases by capturing carbon in the ground. IBI provides standards, research, education, and networking to ensure biochar is produced responsibly and effectively, supporting environmental and agricultural benefits worldwide. Its goal is to advance biochar as a practical tool for climate mitigation and sustainable land management.
