🌳 Carbon Removal Breakfast Club · Biochar Breakfast Edition
Small room. Big biochar energy.
Join us for an intimate, no-slides-needed session on scaling biochar — where the stories are real, the carbon is durable, and the breakfast smells like campfire and fresh toast.
🎯 Why biochar, why now?
Turning crop waste into stable carbon and healthier soils is no longer niche — it’s leading the delivery stats in carbon removal and catching investor attention. With new EU rules brewing and UK pilots sprouting, we’ll dive into:
• Feedstock quirks
• Pyrolyser pitfalls
• Credit quality signals
• Cashflow strategies (beyond just offsets)
Expect high-signal conversations with soil scientists, carbon developers, and the financiers rewriting the biochar playbook.
🎤 Confirmed panelist:
• Professor Colin E. Snape — Director of the EPSRC Centre for CCS and Cleaner Fossil Energy
• Zarak Pasha — Head of Carbon Finance, Standard Chartered — brings the lender’s view on what makes biochar projects bankable, from offtake stacking to risk controls.
• Julien Jacob — Head of Offtake & Investor Solutions, Puro.earth
• Oliver Erb — Co‑founder, Cula (digital MRV)
Other guests include leading financiers and corporate offtakers, more to come!
Coffee will be strong. Conversation stronger. And yes, a fresh hot breakfast spread—think shakshuka, roasted veg, and warm pastries—beats the usual "coffee-and-croissant" routi
