About the carbon removal project

Truecoco partners with local farmers to use their agricultural waste - coconut husks - and convert it into biochar through the process called pyrolysis.

Once produced, biochar is used by local farmers for soil amendment. When put back to soil, biochar locks CO₂ away from the atmosphere for centuries, while it also improves crop yields, provides additional revenue and increases the well-being of local farmers and their families.

This circular model converts biomass into stable biochar that durably stores carbon and returns enriched soil inputs to farmers.

By 2030, Truecoco targets removing more than 250,000 tCO₂ while improving the livelihoods of over 30,000 smallholder farmers.
