Takachar is a limited company based in Boston as a spin-off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
It is developing torrefaction reactors, which will cook agricultural waste to create biochar or biocoal – a modernised form of charcoal burning.
The target market is India, where traditional methods such as stubble burning create large amounts of smoke and have been a significant cause of air pollution.
The company was formed in 2018 by founders Vidyut Mohan and Kevin Kung.
