Mexico-based General Biochar Systems (GBS) is passionate about biochar's potential to fight climate change and champions its sustainable production and diverse uses. Launched by the Next 150 venture capital firm, GBS produces biochar, develops regional applications, and generates CDR credits through long-term storage applications.

Why be a Biochar 24 Gold Sponsor?

Continuing to actively collaborate with USBI keeps us ahead of the curve and drives our commitment to excellence and quality. As consultants to and past participants in USBI webinars, we have been impressed by the level of knowledge and exchange within the USBI community. This event is a fantastic opportunity to make deep connections, build regional expertise, teach and learn from others, and improve our methods. Being an engaged USBI partner will be essential as biochar moves from from a passion to a powerful industry.

How will you measure the success of your sponsorship?

Our main goal will be to raise awareness of the Instituto Latinoamericano del Biochar (ILBI) framework - to promote research, education, and the production, and use of biochar in various applications in Latin America. We'll measure success by the depth of the connections we make, the new knowledge we gain, and the collaborations we build to boost biochar's impact.

How will Biochar 2024 help you engage with your target audiences?

We look forward to showcasing our approach to transforming agri-waste into biochar and an On-Field Experiment (OFE). The GBS seminar will include data to demonstrate the real-world impact of our work.
