Dalat Lotus 150 Circular Farm Pilot

ImplementationNo live Negatrope

Ex-ante scenario only. Not measured, validated, or registered. Counterfactual pathways are alternative unless separate cycles replace different fuels — not additive.

Project narrative

The Lotus Fire Gasifier converts locally available crop residues into useful heat and recoverable biochar. ReChar separately verifies delivered heat, displaced fuel, residual biomass, biochar, livestock use, organic-material pathway, soil destination, durable carbon, and measured agricultural outcomes. Digital assets arise only after completed post-impact registration.

Operator: Dalat Circular Farm Cooperative (Demo)
Project lead: Demonstration project lead
Geography: Dalat region (demonstration — approximate)

Map (reduced precision)

Approximate centre only (±25.00 km). Precise farm and source coordinates are restricted.

Public pin: 11.94, 108.44 (approximate)

Sites named in narrative: Kiborgoch, Shompole, Kamuthe, Garissa, Tana River, Marigat, Mogotio, and confidential trial locations.

Operating model

Crop residues → gasifier cycle → useful heat + biochar → livestock pathway → manure/bedding/compost → soil application → measured outcomes → PoC → validation → legal → registrar → Negatrope
