Pioneering Biochar Production: Carbonaires, Klarna and HUSK Tackle Climate Change in Cambodia

In this edition of our LinkedIn newsletter, we explore the groundbreaking partnership between Carbonaires, Klarna and HUSK. This collaboration showcases their shared commitment to innovation and excellence while tackling pressing sustainability challenges through cutting‑edge solutions.

Biochar, a charcoal‑like substance created by heating organic materials in a low‑oxygen environment, has been gaining attention for its potential to improve soil health, boost crop yields and sequester carbon for centuries. By establishing a state‑of‑the‑art biochar production facility in Cambodia, Carbonaires, Klarna and HUSK are collaborating to transform rice husks, a common agricultural waste product in the region, into this valuable resource.

This partnership is particularly noteworthy for its emphasis on leveraging the power of voluntary carbon markets. As an essential driver for transitioning to a greener global economy, these markets provide financial incentives for companies to invest in sustainable solutions. The recent endorsement of guidelines aimed at ensuring the reliability and integrity of carbon credits highlights the growing significance of voluntary carbon markets as a force for change.

By combining expertise in carbon asset management, financial technologies and biochar production, Carbonaires, Klarna and HUSK showcase the potential of collaborative efforts in addressing climate change and fostering a circular economy. This project not only demonstrates the importance of trust and transparency in sustainable business practices but also serves as an inspiration for future endeavours in the fight against climate change.

As we continue to explore innovative solutions and partnerships in the realm of sustainable business, we invite you to join the conversation and share your insights on this exciting initiative. By working together and maintaining a focus on trust and transparency, we can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future. Stay tuned for more informative articles and discussions in our upcoming newsletters.

Shoosmiths secures five-year carbon removal offtake with Carbonaires

Shoosmiths, one of the UK’s leading law firms, has entered into a five-year pre-purchase forward offtake agreement with Carbonaires, securing a long-term supply of durable biochar carbon removals from HUSK to support its zero net operational emissions. Rather than buying spot credits, Shoosmiths locked in supply, volume and price over five years — a strategic, long-term approach to high-integrity carbon removal.

July 2026 Newsletter

Issue #75 of the Carbonaires Monthly Newsletter examines the European Commission’s proposal to revise the EU Emissions Trading System, published on 17 July: a 250 million allowance facility ring-fenced to purchase BioCCS and DACCS removals through to 2040, a further 260 million allowances for high-integrity international credits, and a slower cap decline. Set alongside SBTi Version 2 and the draft ISO 14060 standard, it points to carbon removal demand that can be modelled, dated and priced, and to a creditworthy government offtake that begins to solve the tenor problem holding back debt financing.

June 2026 Newsletter

Issue #74 of the Carbonaires Monthly Newsletter covers two developments shaping carbon markets in June 2026: our analysis of the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2 — a measured step in the right direction that recognises companies’ ongoing emissions through a new Ongoing Emissions Responsibility framework, but stops short of the near-term incentive needed to mobilise the corporate removal demand the market requires to scale — and a review of London Climate Action Week 2026, where the market’s centre of gravity shifted decisively from ambition to execution.
