Supercritical and Jain Irrigation sign deal for up to 19,000 tonnes of biochar carbon removal credits

Jain Irrigation Systems Limited (JISL), a publicly listed global agribusiness, has entered into an agreement with carbon removal marketplace Supercritical for the purchase of biochar carbon removal credits generated from Jain’s operations in 2026 and 2027. The agreement covers up to 19,000 tonnes of durable carbon removal from the company’s industrial biochar facility in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, which began production in early 2026.

Jain Irrigation converts residues from its food processing operations and agricultural crops into biochar through a gasification process. The process transforms carbon into a stable form that can remain stored in soil for centuries. All outputs from the process are utilised within the company’s operations, with syngas replacing fossil fuels at its industrial facilities and biochar being used in its downstream agricultural businesses and supplied to farmers as a soil amendment.

The project is undergoing verification through Puro.earth, while an independent rating by BeZero Carbon is also in progress.

The facility builds on Jain Irrigation’s long-standing agricultural operations and its engagement with farmers since 1963. The company has served more than 10 million farmers and operates one of the world’s largest mango processing businesses and tissue culture nurseries, producing approximately 150 million plants annually.

Over the past three decades, Jain Irrigation has commercialised agricultural technologies ranging from micro-irrigation to banana tissue culture. The company plans to leverage its research capabilities and extensive farmer network to develop biochar-based agricultural products and scale their adoption commercially.

The agreement also adds supply to a biochar carbon removal market experiencing tightening availability. According to Supercritical’s second-half 2026 biochar market report, 81% of high-quality biochar supply available for 2026 had already been committed by July, three months earlier than at the same point in 2025. The report also highlighted a shift among corporate buyers from one-off spot purchases towards multi-year contracts.
