Corn Mill in Pasuruan, Indonesia
Biochar production
As much as 250 tons/year, resulting in ~450 ton CO2e removed per year.
Biochar application in local corn farms
2 tons/ha per cycle for >100 ha plantations.
Expected improvements
Up to 95% potential improvements in yield and 50% reduction in fertilizer.
Managing corn cob waste has its challenges. We usually sell it as fuel and planting media, but oftentimes it quickly rots and hard to sell. However, by working with WasteX, these corn cobs can be processed into high-value biochar, which is useful as a soil fertility enhancer. We hope that this facility and the biochar produced can be beneficial for local corn farmers with poor soil and having difficulties acquiring fertilizers, and help improve their welfare.
