PLUS | Tea Advances from the Ground Up | The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) announced on March 25 the first five ‘lighthouse’ demonstration projects funded by the UK’s Accelerate-to-Demonstrate. Biomass gasification is among the most promising options for tea, as it can reduce emissions, lower energy and cultivation costs, improve fertilizer efficiency, and increase productivity.

The Kenya project, led by Compact Syngas Solutions and supported by Co-REGEN-Supivaa and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, utilizes technology critical to greening the tea industry and documenting a scalable path for industrial decarbonization.

Joining us today from London is Co-REGEN co-founder and CEO Aarti Shah. We discuss the challenges in the tea industry, focusing on innovation, oversupply, and regeneration. Aarti emphasized the importance of systems thinking, collaboration, soil health, and modern technologies, such as gasification and biochar, for its potential to improve soil quality. We also discuss the need for government policies that promote tea and foster a strong consumer-driven business culture in Kenya.
