Advancing Carbon Capture: Klima Foundation Supports EASYCHAR Biochar Innovation

At Klima Foundation, we are committed to driving innovation in environmental markets by supporting scalable, high-impact climate solutions. Last year, we allocated $249,990 to secure forward carbon credits (pre-CORCs) from Sky East Invest LTD, an industry leader transforming waste biomass into a powerful climate solution through their Easychar technology.

This strategic investment was approved by the Klima's community following an open discussion and vote — a testament to our shared commitment to supporting forward-thinking climate initiatives.

Turning Waste into Carbon Capture

Sky East Invest LTD’s Easychar solution addresses two pressing challenges at once: managing waste and capturing carbon at scale. Their technology converts biomass waste into biochar — a stable form of carbon that locks CO₂ away for centuries — while simultaneously generating renewable energy. Installed across active distilleries, the Easychar model integrates seamlessly into energy-intensive industries, providing a dual environmental benefit: carbon sequestration and decarbonized energy production.

Strategic Investment Highlights

Born from a vision to make carbon capture accessible for businesses of all sizes, the Easychar system allows companies, especially those that produce biomass by-products like breweries, distilleries, vertical farms, and greenhouses, to turn their waste into climate-positive assets.

Developed in partnership with SPSC GmbH, one of Germany’s leading biochar engineering firms, Easychar is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing industrial sites without disrupting operations. Compact and modular, the system:

• Fits into a standard shipping container

• Operates 24/7, fully automated

• Can process a wide range of biomass types, including draff, woodchips, pellets, and even municipal green waste

• Runs self-sustainably after initial ignition

• Produces both renewable energy and biochar, delivering immediate operational and climate benefits

  
  

With Easychar, companies not only reduce their carbon footprint but also cut energy costs — offering a climate-friendly solution that strengthens their business performance.

A UK-Based Innovation at the Heart of the Green Finance Revolution

Sky East Invest LTD is proudly based in the United Kingdom — a fact that matters now more than ever.

In April 2025, the UK government reaffirmed its commitment to becoming the global hub for green finance, launching new initiatives to strengthen voluntary carbon and nature markets and unlock private sector climate investment. As Britain aims to lead the next wave of climate finance, having homegrown, high-quality carbon projects like Easychar is crucial.

For the UK to realize its ambition, it will need:

• Robust domestic climate projects that meet integrity standards.

• Innovative technologies that are scalable and commercially viable.

• Real engagement with UK businesses across industries.

Easychar answers this call — delivering real climate impact directly from within UK industries, and offering companies a practical path to decarbonize while creating new revenue streams through carbon credit generation.

By supporting Sky East Invest LTD, Klima Foundation is helping build the very infrastructure needed to drive Britain’s green finance forward — turning policy ambition into on-the-ground, scalable action.

Building the Future of Onchain Carbon Markets

In addition to the environmental benefits, Sky East Invest LTD’s pre-CORCs represent a key building block for future onchain liquidity initiatives. Following delivery, the credits may be utilized to seed a liquid biochar market traded against $KLIMA — helping drive adoption of next-generation carbon markets while maintaining full transparency and verifiability onchain. Whilst Foundation's technical solutions steward the development of aims to increase the overall velocity of carbon markets, there is no substitute for direct funding to project developers to have a direct, tangible climate impact. That's why Klima Foundation is allocating capital to support environmental projects off the ground, enabling them to deliver real-world impact.

Why Sky East Invest LTD?

Sky East Invest LTD offers tangible benefits to distilleries in which their boilers are installed, creating a symbiotic and scalable process for carbon sequestration.

• Proven Impact: Sky East Invest LTD has completed lifecycle assessments (LCA’s) of both current installations (Bladnoch / Tamdhu), as well as for the second (Deanston and Glen Grant) and third waves (GlenDronach) of installations, validate significant carbon removal potential.
  

• Bladnoch LCA

• Tamdhu LCA
  

• Scalability: Sky East’s model can be rapidly expanded to other energy-consuming industries, opening pathways for future climate impact.

• Circular Solutions: Turning industrial waste into a climate asset exemplifies the kind of innovation necessary to achieve a net-zero future.

Looking Ahead

The secured pre-CORCs are scheduled for delivery in 2025 — marking another major step forward in Klima Foundation’s commitment to scaling real, verifiable climate action.

By investing in projects like Sky East Invest LTD, we are not only catalyzing innovation in carbon removal but also building the foundational infrastructure for a more transparent, efficient, and accessible carbon market. This purchase represents an opportunity for partners like Klima Protocol and Carbonmark to diversify their treasury into a high-impact asset class and make new environmental asset markets with this supply. This represents a highly symbiotic opportunity, and I encourage all community members to learn more about Sky East Invest LTD's Easychar solution and engage with this proposal.

We thank our community for their participation and support in advancing this initiative — and we look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in climate finance.
