Gurugram-based startup Prithu has secured Rs 10 crore in seed funding led by Transition VC. The company is developing a carbon removal platform that combines regenerative agriculture, biochar, and agroforestry to sequester carbon while improving soil health for farmers. To ensure the integrity of its carbon credits, Prithu uses blockchain-based monitoring, reporting, and verification systems. The startup aims to sequester 20 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2030 and expand its projects across 5 lakh hectares.

Prithu just landed 10 crore to scale carbon removal in India. They are mixing biochar and agroforestry with blockchain for verification. Worth a look if you follow nature based solutions.

The blockchain MRV part is the real test here. The voluntary market is struggling with quality issues, so the actual methodology for verification matters more than the ledger it sits on.

20 million tonnes by 2030 is a massive target for a seed stage company. Do they have the land access agreements signed, or is this just a projection based on available acreage?

Biochar deployment usually hits a wall with logistics and feedstock collection costs. I want to see how they plan to move the waste from the fields to the pyrolysis units without killing their margins.
