About NextFarm
NextFarm is an Australian start-up team of five, developing our unique Energy And Food System.
There are two pieces of hardware combining to give;
1, low cost on-demand and baseload electricity or irrigation pumps, and later tractors etc,
2, soil restoration, via best practice biochar as a co-product at no extra cost to the farmer.
Initial markets are agriculture, later heavy transport.
The overall system would have about 340% net negative CO2 emissions energy compared to diesel.
This is much better than the zero CO2 emissions goal, and now needed with the worsening climate situation.
