BIOSORRA

BIOSORRA was founded in 2022 by Inés Serra and a fellow MBA classmate, driven by a shared passion for addressing climate change and its impact on farming communities in Kenya. Serra's background in business and her commitment to sustainability led to the creation of a company focused on transforming agricultural waste into valuable resources.

BIOSORRA's core business revolves around a patented technology that converts agricultural waste into biochar, a charcoal-like substance that improves soil fertility and sequesters carbon. This process also yields bio-oil and clean energy, creating a circular economy model. The company's primary clients are small-scale farmers in Kenya, who benefit from a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. By improving crop yields and soil health, BIOSORRA aims to enhance food security and farming resilience in the region.

The company's business model is based on the sale of its biochar and other byproducts, as well as the potential for earning carbon credits. This dual revenue stream allows BIOSORRA to offer its products at an affordable price while maintaining a financially sustainable operation. The company's commitment to climate justice is evident in its focus on empowering local communities and creating a more equitable and environmentally friendly agricultural system.
