What Biodiversal does

Biodiversal is a Colombian regenerative agriculture company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Bogotá, operating three interconnected product lines: Biogrowth (organic fertilizers and soil amendments), Biotech (biostimulants distributed exclusively for Green Universe Agriculture), and Bioimpact (a Coffee Biochar carbon removal program working with smallholder coffee farming communities in Colombia's Huila and Tolima regions). The company holds the only ICA (Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario) registration for biochar in Colombia and produces biochar via decentralized Kon-Tiki flame curtain kiln pyrolysis, a protocol validated by peer-reviewed research and incorporated into Carbon Standards International's Global Artisan C-Sink Standard.

The company's core technology platform combines biochar production with soil amendment manufacturing and MRV-based carbon credit verification. Biogrowth products include SolidBlend (biochar + vermicompost + mycorrhizae + rock flour), Wormix (worm compost + biochar + rock phosphate), and SolidChar (ICA-registered pure biochar). Biotech distributes three biostimulant SKUs (Unigreen Kapasoil, Unigreen Crop Stark, Unigreen Bac+) priced at $35-$60 USD per unit. The Coffee Biochar program engaged 560+ farming families across 7 clusters and 72 production sites as of Q1 2026, with carbon removals independently verified by CERES.

Biodiversal generates revenue through three streams: product sales of biochar-based fertilizers and biostimulants, carbon credit transactions via the Coffee Biochar program, and impact investment/technical assistance services. Distribution is field-based through extensionist networks embedded in Colombian agricultural regions, supplemented by direct enterprise sales via website, WhatsApp, and email channels. The company operates exclusively in Colombia with a focus on coffee-growing communities and broader agricultural export sectors, and is structured as a BIC (Benefit and Collective Interest) corporation with annual public transparency reporting.

Revenue model

1. Biochar and Organic Fertilizer Sales (Biogrowth): Sale of biochar-based soil amendment products including SolidBlend (biochar + vermicompost + compost + mycorrhizae + rock flour), Wormix (worm compost + biochar + rock phosphate), and SolidChar (ICA-registered pure biochar). Products are sold directly to farmers and agricultural companies seeking to improve soil conditions and reduce chemical fertilizer dependency.
2. Biostimulant Distribution (Biotech): Exclusive distribution in Colombia of Green Universe Agriculture biostimulant products (Unigreen Kapasoil, Unigreen Crop Stark, Unigreen Bac+). These 100% sustainable biostimulants enhance vital processes in living organisms to improve crop development, health, and yield. Revenue generated through product sales to farmers and agricultural enterprises.
3. Carbon Credit Program (Bioimpact): Coffee Biochar program generates verified carbon removal credits by facilitating biochar production from coffee pruning residue. Smallholder farmers produce biochar using Kon-Tiki kilns; carbon removal is independently verified and credits are sold to corporate buyers seeking climate-positive outcomes. Provides stable income for farming families independent of coffee commodity price volatility.
4. Impact Investment and Technical Assistance Services: Co-investment in impact projects with international development partners. Biodiversal facilitates connections between coffee-growing communities and markets of added value, while providing technical assistance, field schools, and training in regenerative agriculture practices.

Direct peers

• Pacific Biochar Benefit Corp: US-based biochar producer and soil amendment supplier focused on agriculture and horticulture. Comparable as a biochar manufacturer selling soil-improver products, the direct functional analog of Biodiversal's Biogrowth business in a different geography.
• Carbofex: Finnish biochar producer with industrial-scale pyrolysis and certified carbon removal credit sales. Comparable as a direct biochar producer selling CDR credits to voluntary buyers, and a useful international reference point for scaling artisanal biochar into a credit-issuing business.
• Novocarbo: Germany-based biochar and carbon removal company producing certified biochar from biomass for agricultural and climate applications. Directly comparable as a biochar producer that combines soil-amendment sales with verified CDR credit issuance in Europe.
• Cotierra: Bogotá-based organization and CSI Artisan C-Sink Manager (Activity Proponent). Cotierra contributed field data to the same peer-reviewed Kon-Tiki validation and runs comparable smallholder biochar carbon projects in Colombia, making it a direct peer in artisanal C-Sink origination.
• Planboo: Sweden- and Colombia-based biochar carbon removal project developer. Planboo is a co-author and field data contributor on the peer-reviewed Kon-Tiki pyrolysis study in GCB Bioenergy alongside Biodiversal, and operates similar farmer-embedded biochar CDR projects in the same geography.
• Cirkular Origin: Colombia-based strategic partner in the same Coffee Biochar program. Cirkular Origin provides the MRV system, the Cirkular App for farmer training, and technical operations support, making it the closest operational peer and direct collaborator on the same carbon project.
• Sonnenerde: Austrian producer of biochar-based soil substrates and agricultural amendments. Comparable as a vertically integrated biochar supplier selling into agriculture, the same end use case as Biodiversal's Biogrowth portfolio.

Emerging players

• Charm Industrial: US-based carbon removal company that converts biomass into bio-oil and sequesters it underground, a related pyrolysis-based CDR pathway. Comparable as a peer in the durable, biomass-derived CDR category, addressing the same voluntary carbon credit buyers and competing for the same corporate net-zero demand.

Others

• Ithaka Institute: Switzerland-based research institute specializing in biochar and carbon sequestration. Led the GCB Bioenergy peer-reviewed study that validated the Kon-Tiki protocol used by Biodiversal, and is a scientific reference for the broader artisanal C-Sink standard the company relies on.

Broad incumbents

• Puro.earth: Leading voluntary carbon removal registry and marketplace, now part of Patch, that issues and trades biochar-based CO2 Removal Certificates. Comparable as the dominant infrastructure layer where Biodiversal-style biochar credits are ultimately listed and sold to corporate buyers.
