 The first-of-its-kind data highlights biochar’s potential to scale carbon removals as a win-win solution for people and the planet. 

Biochar can potentially remove up to 6% of global emissions annually – the approximate equivalent of 3 billion tonnes of CO2 or the total emissions of 803 coal-fired power plants in one year. Biochar also has a minimum removal potential of 10% in over 25 countries, concentrated in Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe, and can potentially reduce carbon emissions by over 30% in Eswatini and more than 20% in Malawi, Argentina, and Ghana. The greatest carbon dioxide removal (CDR) potential – rests with the world’s biggest emitters, including China, the United States, Brazil, and India, who can chart a pathway for sustainable emissions reductions through biochar.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Ground-breaking new research shows that carbon removal solution biochar can play a significant role in global emissions reductions at the global and national levels. The ancient farming practice can help countries mitigate climate change threats and decarbonize at scale while also adapting to the effects of climate change and unlocking economic and social benefits.

First developed by Indigenous communities in the Amazon thousands of years ago and now a rapidly expanding global industry, biochar is a material created by heating organic materials — such as forestry and crop residues — that would otherwise release emissions when decomposing. By converting these materials into biochar instead, carbon is locked for centuries to millennia. When used as a soil amendment, biochar can improve soil health and increase water and nutrient retention in soils, helping to both mitigate against and adapt to the effects of climate change.

Published in the peer-reviewed journal Biochar and commissioned by the International Biochar Initiative (IBI), the research quantifies biochar’s CDR potential across 155 countries, with net removal potential on a national and global scale, assuming a sustainable supply of no purpose-grown biomass quantities. Currently providing the vast majority of delivered carbon credits, biochar is an affordable, scalable, and readily available solution that, unlike other CDR methods, also provides environmental and social co-benefits like improved soil health leading to increased crop yields.

"This is the first research to quantify the significant role biochar can play in worldwide climate action and carbon removal strategies, at the level of individual countries. To scale biochar to its full potential, we now have a starting point of what is possible at the country level. By considering the climate impact of co-benefits such as fossil fuel displacement, improved crop yields, and healthier soil, we can also go farther, getting a better picture of biochar’s complete climate solution potential," said Dr. Thomas Trabold, co-author and research professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability. 

The report’s consideration of small-emitting countries is particularly significant. Though many small-emitting countries have contributed the least to climate change, they are experiencing its impacts disproportionately, from soil erosion to extreme weather. Biochar offers a circular and sustainable approach to climate change mitigation, giving these countries the opportunity to maximize carbon removal while increasing national and local revenues. It makes agricultural production more sustainable at all scales, from protecting soil security to creating employment opportunities at the community and commercial levels. For farmers facing multiple challenges related to climate change, biochar is a game-changer.

Coined "nature’s black gold" by its advocates, momentum has been building around biochar for decades, though a historic lack of attention and investment has impeded industry growth. The research emphasizes that with climate urgency growing, now is the time for collaboration at all levels – from policymakers to farmers – to remove supply chain bottlenecks, accelerate investment, and increase long-term demand so the technology can be deployed at scale.

 "As the global community approaches COP28, this research presents an urgent call to action for world leaders to ensure this powerful solution is in every country’s climate change strategy. Biochar not only safely locks away carbon, but it is also a circular solution to help feed the world, decarbonize the built environment, and remove pollutants in water and soil. To stay on a 1.5°C pathway, we must accelerate biochar use and include it in our climate toolbox," said Wendy Lu Maxwell-Barton, IBI Executive Director.

Millions of customers around the world use business to meet mobility needs, driving best year on record

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Enterprise Holdings, a global leader in mobility, has strengthened its ambitions in helping shape the future of mobility with strong results across its diverse lines of business, a significant jump in international growth, and global recognition for its long-standing commitment to customers and team members over the past fiscal year.

Enterprise Holdings Corporate Brands Logo.

Enterprise Holdings has an integrated global network of subsidiaries and franchisees, which collectively includes almost 9,500 fully staffed neighborhood and airport locations in more than 90 countries and territories.

The business has invested heavily in growing its international footprint and diversifying its offerings with a robust roster of mobility lines – including car rental, carsharing, truck rental, fleet management, flexible vehicle hire, retail car sales and more – to generate a record $35 billion in revenue for Enterprise Holdings and its affiliate Enterprise Fleet Management (EFM) in fiscal year 2023 (FY23).

"We are seeing more and more customers using multiple business lines to support a wide range of mobility needs across the globe," said Enterprise Holdings President and CEO Chrissy Taylor. "As the mobility sector evolves, we will continue to invest significantly in our diverse lines of business, continue to enhance the customer experience and explore new markets to meet the growing needs of our customers."

International Expansion and Mobility Line Growth

Solid international performance contributed to strong results, with the organization’s corporate-owned affiliates in Europe (including the U.K., France, Germany, Ireland and Spain) recording their most successful years to date.

The organization’s fleet size in Europe has also grown, up 21% year over year compared to FY22. In addition, Enterprise Holdings announced franchisee partnership agreements to expand to Chile and broke ground in three new markets, opening branches in Morocco, South Africa and South Korea.

Strong performances from Enterprise-branded business lines also contributed to record revenue in FY23. Both EFM and Car Share saw double-digit growth over the past year with Truck Rental and Car Sales increasing their footprint by adding new branch locations in FY23. Globally, the combined fleet size of Enterprise Holdings and EFM increased to more than 2.3 million vehicles.

Another reason for Enterprise Holding’s successful FY23 lies in the steady growth of its contracted business – including B2B accounts and insurance replacement, among others – which accounted for the majority of its rental days in the fiscal year.

In FY23, the businesses also increased the total global workforce by more than 10,000 to 90,000-plus employees. Enterprise Holdings was one of 57 organizations worldwide to earn the 2023 Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA) – an accolade that spotlights the most engaged workplace cultures in the world.

Enhancing CX Through Innovation

Consistently investing to enhance customer experience has been a defining factor in the longevity and success of the business, and in FY23, several lines of business and geographies exhibited record customer-service scores from customers and partners.

The business also continues to cultivate and invest in multiple solutions and partnerships designed to enhance customer experience and drive innovation. Select highlights include:

An effort to help remove friction was launched around the most critical steps in the rental journey to deliver customers enhanced control, personalization and transparency. Enterprise Holdings continues investing in solutions like SmartAssist™, a new SaaS offering that, along with ARMS® technology enhancements, will help partners and customers reduce friction after an accident. The business continues to add connected cars to its fleet with more than 525,000 currently connected globally and a goal of connecting the full fleet of more than 2.3 million vehicles by 2026. Enterprise Holdings has a long-term, comprehensive electric vehicle strategy focused on three key areas: customer experience, power and charging viability, and equitable access. In FY23, Enterprise Holdings partnered with automakers to add more EVs to its fleet, enabled customers to test drive EVs, and leveraged its fleet management leadership through its affiliate EFM to help brands like Domino’s® execute its EV strategy. The business also is investing in flexible and resilient energy assets, such as Moxion’s® mobile energy storage solutions and Freewire’s® energy storage integrated fast chargers.

"We are leveraging innovation to help create flexible, customized, on-demand customer experiences," said Taylor. "And through partnerships, we are building a robust EV infrastructure, driving connectivity and investing in new mobility solutions, which will help prepare and support customers and team members for the future."

Supporting Partnerships and Communities

Community giving remains core to the culture at Enterprise Holdings with more than $84 million donated to charitable organizations worldwide through its operating groups and the Enterprise Holdings Foundation in FY23. 

As part of its charitable giving, Enterprise Holdings awarded more than $7 million in grants for the third consecutive year to more than 600 local nonprofit organizations – part of Enterprise’s five-year, $55 million ROAD Forward commitment to help advance social and racial equity.

To support its partners in the insurance replacement space, and to drive down the average collision-related vehicle repair time, Enterprise Holdings also announced two industry partnerships in FY23 – one with Ford Motor Company Fund and one with national multi-shop operator Crash Champions – to expand the Enterprise Holdings Foundation-funded Collision Engineering Program, now active at seven schools across the U.S.

MRX-6038 is a new novel leucyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor with excellent antimicrobial activity against a wide range of Mycobacterium species, including M. tuberculosis, M. avium complex (MAC), and M. abscessus complex (MAb), including known drug-resistant strains. The product is current in preclinical development with a global clinical program in non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) anticipated for registration in major markets.

About Mycobacterial Infections

Worldwide, approximately 2 billion people are infected with M. tuberculosis (TB) and 500 million infected with various species of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) with many infections remaining undiagnosed. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus are the most frequently encountered NTM species, and multi-drug resistance is becoming common in NTM and TB. Mycobacteria are challenging, very difficult to treat infections typically found in the lungs, but can appear in the skin, lymph nodes and other locations. Treatment of TB and NTM includes a complicated regimen of 3-4 antibiotics for many months or even years, with limited treatment options. Clinical success rates are typically less than 50% and recurrence or reinfection is common. Drug toxicities are extensive and typically demand treatment modification.[1] Significant unmet needs exist for safer and more effective therapies. According to the WHO, a total of 1.6 million people died from TB in 2021 (including 187 000 people with HIV). Worldwide, TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19 (above HIV and AIDS).[1]
