Why Production Surges Aren't Keeping Up With the Demand for 100-Year Carbon Removal The global biochar market has officially broken out of its niche agricultural cocoon and entered a high-velocity industrial scale-up. The newly released 2025 Global Biochar Market Report by the International Biochar Initiative (IBI) provides definitive data proving that biochar is now the leading, most commercially viable permanent Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technology on earth. But for investors, project developers, and corporate off-takers, the most critical takeaway isn't just the sheer growth in volume—it is the massive structural supply deficit. Despite record-breaking production gains, the global output of high-quality, 100+-year permanent biochar is failing to keep pace with the insatiable corporate demand for durable carbon removal. The result is an incredibly bullish, highly favourable price outlook for producers who can deliver certified, high-stability carbon sinks. The Produc...

  How Our Prey Veng Facility Decouples Agriculture from Global Energy Crises The global food system is facing a quiet but devastating structural crisis.  As recently highlighted in an insightful analysis by Qingfeng Zhang , Senior Director at the Asian Development Bank (ADB), today’s threats to food security are no longer just about direct crop disruptions. Instead, they are deeply entangled with volatile international energy and fertiliser markets. For import-dependent nations in Asia and the Pacific, a geopolitical spark in the Middle East or a shipping bottleneck in the Strait of Hormuz can instantly send shockwaves that jeopardise local agricultural yields. At Can-Star Capital, we refuse to accept that Cambodia’s food security must be held hostage by global macroeconomic volatility. That is why our Prey Veng facility is designed to serve as an excellent, long-term solution—by completely decoupling local agriculture from international energy and fertiliser shocks. The Syste...

Why Your Data-Heavy Pitch Is Failing (and How to Fix It) If you are an environmental advocate, you’ve likely been there: standing in a government office or a boardroom, armed with a 20-slide deck full of terrifying climate charts and impeccable biodiversity data. You expect the logic to be undeniable. Yet, more often than not, the response is a polite nod, a request for "more study," or worse, outright resistance. For decades, we have operated under the Information Deficit Model , the belief that if people only had more facts, they would change their minds and behaviours. But recent insights from cognitive and behavioural science suggest that this approach is not just ineffective; it can actually backfire. The Myth of the "Rational" Decision-Maker We like to think of government officials and institutional leaders as purely rational actors. However, cognitive science shows that humans operate under "bounded rationality". When faced with complex, stressful i...
