Stack Carbon To Develop The First Large-Scale Biochar Facility In Uganda

Climate tech startup Stack Carbon signed an MOU with China’s Jiaxing Tongao Environmental Technology and Norway’s TerraCapX AS to build Uganda’s first large-scale biochar facility, the $12 million Nile Char Carbon Removal Project, during a Uganda Parliament ceremony. The facility will process over 10 million tonnes of agricultural waste over 20 years into biochar, sequestering CO₂, improving soil health, and cutting reliance on imported chemical fertilizers costing farmers $300 million annually. Jiaxing will supply pyrolysis equipment for 30 tonnes/day production; installation starts mid-2026, with commercial operations in Q3 2026, following market standards and training 100 local stakeholders.
