PyroNam Sustainable Development Goals
PyroNam’s Biochar strategy offers a host of other benefits for Namibia and its people
A total of 10 out of 17 United Nations Social Development Goals (SDGs) are supported.
Goal 1: No Poverty
Economic participation of biomass suppliers through sales to PyroNam increases income and thus reduces poverty in the communities.
Goal 2: Zero Hunger
Sequestration of biochar in local soils increases crop yields and thus food security.
Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being
Cleaner waste disposal than conventional methods which improves air quality.
Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Reduce fertilizer pollution of groundwater and surface water.
Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
The sale of biomass to PyroNam enables a new revenue channel and therefore improves the financial situation of waste biomass holders. PyroNam creates decent jobs in rural areas.
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
PyroNam develops and implements innovative technologies for waste biomass holders and incentivizes developers of restoration projects.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
PyroNam enables sustainable waste management, provides solutions that optimize the use of natural resources, and contributes to efficient harvest logistics.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
PyroNam enables sustainable waste management, provides solutions that optimize the use of natural resources, and contributes to efficient harvest logistics.
Goal 13: Climate Action
PyroNam contributes to climate action by permanently removing carbon from the atmosphere. The use of biochar helps farms make their soils more resilient to the negative impacts of climate change.
Goal 15: Life on Land
The use of biochar makes degraded soils fertile, so PyroNam combats desertification, halts and reverses soil degradation, and stops biodiversity loss.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals
PyroNam leverages global partnerships to drive sustainable transformation. PyroNam promotes sustainable agriculture by founding a global community for knowledge exchange that shares our strategy's insights and tools with farmers in our operational areas.
