Kirsi Tanski Promoted to VP of Agribusiness as Carbo Culture Strengthens Focus on the Horticultural Sector
Carbo Culture is pleased to announce the promotion of Kirsi Tanski to Vice President of Agribusiness. Kirsi previously led the company’s biochar commercialization efforts. Now she will now drive the strategic expansion into agribusiness markets, with the initial focus on the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
In her new role, Kirsi will lead initiatives to support greenhouse growers in reaching their 2040 carbon neutrality targets. “Greenhouse growers in the Netherlands are already leading the charge towards sustainability. Therefore, our innovative biochar, energy and biogenic CO₂ supply can help them accelerate their path to carbon neutrality,” says Kirsi.
Supporting Circularity with Local Resources
A key aspect of Carbo Culture’s approach is its dedication to the circular economy. The company’s factories are designed to convert local plant-based agricultural waste into biochar, energy, and biogenic CO₂. This closed-loop process ensures that waste from one part becomes a valuable resource for another, reinforcing sustainability at every stage.
“Our strategy is simple: we aim to create value from local resources. By working closely with the growers and the agricultural ecosystem, we are building a circular economy that benefits both the environment and the local economy,” Kirsi emphasizes.
A New Presence in the Netherlands
As part of this strategy, Carbo Culture has recently established a new subsidiary, Carbo Culture B.V., in the Netherlands. This move signifies an important step toward scaling operations and eventually supporting greenhouse growers with a steady supply of renewable heat, power, and CO₂. Kirsi’s promotion aligns with the preparation to deepen presence in the region’s horticultural sector, providing renewable resources and advancing carbon sequestration efforts.
Patented Biochar Process for Industrial Scale
Carbo Culture’s patented biochar production process stands out from others on the market. Not only does it deliver the most stable form of carbon removal available today, but it also ensures dust-free biochar, making it ideal for growing media. This process can operate at an industrial scale, providing the horticultural sector with consistent, high-quality raw materials for growing media.
As the company continues its growth, Kirsi’s leadership in agribusiness will be critical to Carbo Culture’s success in helping greenhouse growers meet their sustainability goals, while also supporting the broader efforts to decarbonize agriculture.
