Congratulations!
Environmental entrepreneur named exceptional business leader
Earthly Biochar is an impressive brand that offers a truly exciting solution to increasing emissions
An entrepreneur from North Devon has been named as one of 2022’s most exceptional business leaders. Lottie Hawkins was recognised at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards 2022 Grand Final.
Lottie, founder of Earthly Biochar, won Sustainability Entrepreneur of the Year with Earthly Biochar’s carbon-storing soil conditioner and their smokeless kiln that produces biochar by burning garden waste without releasing any smoke.
With plans to scale biochar production in the UK, Earthly Biochar (founded in 2018) is turning waste biomass into biochar. In the process of creating the biochar, carbon which otherwise would have been released into the atmosphere is captured and stored. When applied to soils, biochar can improve soil health, crop yields, and resource efficiency. Earthly Biochar uses ‘waste’ resources to make this affordable, effective soil conditioner, which also helps mitigate climate change. Following the success of Earthly’s biochar, the innovative company went on to develop a biochar kiln for gardeners to make biochar at home.
