The power of networking in the biochar sector cannot be overstated. It connects people, fosters innovation, and drives real climate impact. One great example is BioFlux, a company that emerged from a shared vision for climate justice, sustainability, and carbon removal solutions.
The Spark That Ignited BioFlux
Back in 2015, the BioFlux founding team—Julian and Paul—met through their mutual passion for sustainability. While initially following different career paths, their interest in biochar brought them back together. Their journey accelerated in 2021, when they joined the StartLab incubator in Brussels and engaged with industry experts, farmers, and biochar producers.
A key milestone in their journey was their participation in the INTERREG Three-C project—the predecessor to CASCADE. This exposure provided valuable insights into circular carbon economies and helped them connect with biochar industry pioneers. Today, BioFlux supports biochar producers and climate-conscious companies, working to scale up carbon removal projects globally.
CASCADE: Carrying the Torch Forward
This success story highlights what the CASCADE project aims to achieve—inspiring new players, fostering collaboration, and scaling up biochar solutions. CASCADE builds on the foundations laid by Three-C, focusing on practical applications of biochar across construction, agriculture, and water management.
Just like BioFlux, CASCADE connects innovators and drives real-world impact, showing how biochar can be a key player in the circular carbon economy.
The Bigger Picture: Biochar’s Role in Climate Action
Biochar is one of the most scalable carbon removal solutions available today. It locks carbon in a stable form for centuries, improves soil health, and enhances water retention. Through EU-funded initiatives like CASCADE, industry pioneers and local businesses can turn ideas into action, shaping a more sustainable future.
