The Mina Biochar Carbon Removal Project
A first-of-its-kind rice-husk biochar platform in Brgy. Cabalabaguan, Mina, Iloilo — scaling from one line to a six-unit, 36,000 t/yr operation, with durable Puro CORC200+ carbon removal.
Brgy. Cabalabaguan, Mina · Iloilo 🇵🇭
The case for Mina
- Contracted feedstock — ~20,000 t/yr rice husk from 35 mills within 15 km.
- Secured site — 99-year industrial leasehold.
- Credible carbon stack — Puro.earth CORC200+ via Carbonfuture MRV+.
- SERBISYO-aligned — the missing piece of Iloilo's rice agenda.
- Farmer income at scale — rice-straw purchase lifts rural livelihoods.
- Clear scale-up — one line → six units, 36,000 t/yr in three years.
Rice residue in, permanent carbon out
Rice husk — and, at scale, rice straw — is collected from mills and farms within 15 km and converted by continuous rotary-kiln pyrolysis into Platinum BioChar: a stable, carbon-rich soil amendment that locks atmospheric carbon for 200+ years while lifting yields and farmer incomes.
Why this project, why now
