A Devon business has secured a £50,000 grant to develop carbon capturing technology designed to help combat climate change.
Appledore-based start-up Earthly Biochar is aiming to help farmers and gardeners to grow bigger, healthier plants using an organic soil supplement called biochar, that it says can also sequester carbon.
The company, founded in 2018 by entrepreneurs Lottie Hawkins and Connor Lascelles, creates the material by burning waste wood and other biomass at high temperatures in kilns.
