'Team points' are awarded according to the adequacy of the solution with the type of innovations sought by Team for the Planet. They correspond to the analysis of several factors :

impact potential: impact average score > 4 => 0,5 point / if > 4,15 => 1 point.
global consistency: all average score of the 6 selection criteria > 2,5 => 1 point.
the favourite: % of assessments judge the innovation as a top one to act on a global scale against greenhouse gases > 20% => 1 point
the targeting: validation of Team for the Planet scope of action higher than 90% => 0,5 point + innovation level of maturity is enough => 0,5 point
social acceptability: semantic analysis score of comments > 0 => 0,5 point/ if > 3500 => 1 point

68 assessments

Submitted to the Sci. Committee : After the evaluations made by our volunteer assessors, innovations with the strongest impact potential are submitted to the Scientific Committee. The managing directors are responsible for the choice.

Ready-to-use installation of equipment to produce biochar for soils and for food production

Submission date January 06, 2023 Founders Caroline Domanine Development location Brecey, France

Detailed project

NB: this form is filled entirely by the ones submitting the innovation.

What is the issue addressed?

Inaccessible fertilisation / Pollution due to fertilisation / Droughts / Poor soil quality / Weakening of plants (disease/nutrient content) / CO2: 1 ton of biochar : 2.5t CO2 equivalent

How is the problem solved?

Biochar is a concentrated organic carbon. As a soil-enriching agent, it contributes to the development of food sovereignty by proposing a local and circular model of interdependencies on agricultural fertilisation. The formula is age-old: DEMIO extracts carbon from plant residues, biochar is mixed with organic waste; after a few weeks, we obtain a soil-enriching agent that brings soils back to life and limits agricultural pollution.

What is the customer target?

Composting facilities / Wood energy facilities / Agricultural cooperatives

How is this solution different?

A rustic machine with an autonomous energy supply for a model that is scalable and aimed at those managing raw materials. The aim is to provide accessible biochar at a local level for market gardening, viticulture, and polluted soils
