Consistent deposit finalized in Thailand

All the biochar produced since the beginning of this year has been deposited in a well protected property north of Chiang Mai. It was collected after cooking over Elsa-type of TLUD stove. All local biomass from various woody sources and bamboo.
The grand total gets over 9 kg... which got slightly wet lately. So taking out even a third of weight due to the moisture (down to 6 or 7 kg) this accounts for about 20 kg of CO2 actively removed from the atmosphere! 
"Small" amount still but humbly big in our project, as we grow up the network with confidence.

Increasing the stock of biochar

The biochar stock is constantly increasing and we are getting very close now to the volume that we want to reach for our first consistent deposit in northern Thailand. Everything is going to be properly weighted before being mixed in with a special compost brew that is already ripe. Looking forward to this upcoming event.
