Biochar Life and SCG collaborate on biochar-infused cement

Print this page

Thailand: Biochar Life and Siam Cement Group (SCG) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop biochar-infused cement and sustainable building materials. This collaboration aims to utilise biochar in the construction industry and reduce carbon emissions.

The partnership will begin with a pilot project at Chiang Mai University, focusing on constructing biochar-infused cement roads. Biochar Life will evaluate the scalability of biochar production to meet SCG's material requirements. Both companies will engage in research and development to optimise the production and application of biochar in construction, considering environmental benefits and carbon removal credit opportunities.

SCG also plans to extend Biochar Life’s smallholder farmer program, incorporating mobile industrial units and other technologies. This joint effort is directed towards incorporating carbon-negative biochar into building materials. This will lower construction-related carbon emissions, aid in atmospheric carbon sequestration, and improve the durability and performance of these materials.
