The Kaboni Biochar ProjectUganda
Science-driven climate action from Southwest Uganda
Woodcross Resources established and operates Kaboni Capture Solutions to turn underutilized agricultural and forestry residues — such as coffee husks, peanut husks, rice husks, maize cobs, and sugarcane bagasse — into high-quality biochar that supports farmer livelihoods, improves soil health, and creates a scalable pathway for durable carbon removal.

Converts short-cycle biological carbon into a durable, stable form — generating high-integrity carbon removal credits.
How pyrolysis works →Improves soil structure, water retention, nutrient availability and supports microbial activity in degraded tropical soils.
See our approach →Creates income opportunities, trains farmers, and improves crop productivity and climate resilience.
Meet the team →Transforms waste streams — residues that would otherwise be burned — into valuable agricultural inputs.
Explore products →Biochar holds nutrients in the root zone instead of letting them leach away, so every bag of fertiliser goes further.
It opens up compacted tropical soils, balances acidity and rebuilds the structure that degraded farmland has lost.
Carbon that would return to the atmosphere within a season is fixed into a stable form that lasts for centuries.
Its porous structure acts like a sponge, holding moisture through dry spells and buffering crops against drought.
Healthier soil, steadier moisture and better nutrient availability translate directly into stronger harvests.
Pores become habitat for microbes and fungi — the living engine that keeps soil fertile season after season.
Used as a feed supplement and in bedding, biochar improves digestion and cuts odour and nutrient losses in manure.
Husks, cobs and bagasse that are normally burned in the open become a productive input instead of pollution.
Our processing facility sits at Plot 51, Block 24 at Nyakakoni, Isingiro, Uganda — inside a 200 km catchment of some of East Africa's most productive farmland, and close to Woodcross Resources' refinery in Mbarara.
Coffee husks & residues supplied by smallholders.
Delivered to the pyrolysis facility.
Biomass converted into biochar, syngas & bio-oil.
Biochar returned free to farming communities.
Improves fertility & locks carbon for centuries.
Collaboration announced with the National Agricultural Research Organisation.
