Takachar

Takachar is a global organization, spun out of MIT, with a vision to dramatically increase the amount of biomass (crop and forest residues) economically converted into useful bio-products. Our impacts include income and job creation in rural areas, as well as mitigation of CO2 emission and air pollution associated with conventional open-air biomass residue burning. We have been recognized and supported by awards such as the Earthshot Prize, Elon Musks X- Prize, Bill Gates Breakthrough Energy Fellowship and the UNEP Young Champions of the Earth Award 2020.
