Iron Software Marks 10th Anniversary with $18,000 Biochar Initiative to Combat Thailand's Air Pollution Crisis
Iron Software’s $18,000 donation funds 50 biochar kilns that convert 150 tons of agricultural waste annually, reducing smoke and removing up to 100 tons of CO2 each year.
- Iron Software announced on Jan. 6, 2026 a $USD18,000 donation to Warm Heart Worldwide/Biochar Life to fund 50 Aom Kilns in northern Thailand.
- Northern Thailand's annual burning season, February–April, blankets Chiang Mai, Thailand and Iron Software's Chiang Mai engineering hub in hazardous smoke, prompting local concern and motivating community action.
- These kilns, designed by Kwanpiromtara Suksri, support 40–50 smallholder farmers by converting about 150 tons of agricultural waste annually and sequestering 80–100 tons of CO2 per year.
- Building on prior conservation work, the company has invested in medical-grade purifiers and AQI monitoring at Iron Software's Chiang Mai engineering hub, framing this as part of EcoGrants and 1% for the Planet.
- Iron Software's move positions it as the first tech firm funding biochar kilns in the region, linking grassroots biochar work to global carbon markets while recent studies show biochar solutions account for 96% of verified carbon removal.
