The project contributes to eight of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The target covers access to new technology and productive resources for the poor. Smallholder farmers around the mill receive biochar, which raises yields and cuts what they spend on fertiliser.
The target is to double the productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers. Biochar improves soil structure, nutrient retention and water holding capacity, so the same land grows more.
The target addresses illness caused by air, water and soil pollution. Open bagasse heaps release particulates, gases and acidic leachate near the mill. Carbonising the bagasse removes that source.
The target is about women's full participation and equal opportunity in leadership and decision-making. Ensuring women have access to leadership roles and equal pay allows for financial independence in rural communities.
The target is full and productive employment and decent work. Pyrolysis operations, monitoring, training and distribution are staffed locally, on terms consistent with Kenyan labour law.
The target is to cut waste through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. Surplus bagasse becomes a product, and the process reuses its own syngas as fuel and its exhaust heat for drying.
The target is to build climate measures into national policy and planning. Every removal is verified against a published methodology and registered with Isometric.
The target is a land degradation neutral world by 2030. Biochar rebuilds carbon in soil already under cultivation, with no conversion of natural habitat.
