Bamboo is an efficient carbon remover
Thanks to its fast growth and long lifespan, bamboo is an efficient crop in terms of carbon sequestration. It is also the fastest renewable commodity we have.
In dense materials, bamboo stores as much as 1.662 tonnes of CO₂ per cubic metre — which is why it supports the transition towards biobased materials so well.
The triple compensation effect of bamboo
- Carbon stored in durable products
- Avoided CO₂ through the substitution effect
- Carbon locked into the bamboo ecosystem
Taking these three effects together, bamboo can avoid the emissions of more than 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare. That is considerably higher than fast-growing wood species such as Chinese fir.
This applies only where a bamboo forest is brought under management, with annual harvesting to stimulate fast growth.

Help us make an impact
The transition towards renewable commodities is essential to lower our global footprint. By buying CO₂ certificates you support a badly needed change.
The bamboo farms do more than contribute to SDG 13 on climate action. Year-round green bamboo regenerates degraded farmland and protects it against erosion and desertification. The plants retain water in the soil and lower its temperature. After a few years the field becomes an ecosystem that attracts animals, insects, plants and fungi.
Carbon removal credits through bamboo fields
We currently plant bamboo on barren land in Alcoutim, Portugal. The carbon sequestration potential there is substantial: around 48 tonnes per hectare per year.
Our carbon removal certificates are verified and certified via ONCRA — Open Natural Carbon Removal Accounting, an initiative of The Climate Cleanup Foundation, backed by Dutch government institutions, ASN Bank and other ecosystem partners.
In a nutshell

Europe stands behind carbon removal
The EU carbon removal certification framework aims to scale up carbon removal and to fight greenwashing, by allowing businesses to show what they actually do in this field.
Reaching climate neutrality by 2050 will require both a reduction in emissions and carbon removal to compensate for the emissions that cannot be avoided.
On 20 February 2024 the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reached a provisional agreement on the CRCF Regulation, establishing the first EU-wide voluntary framework for certifying carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in products generated in Europe.
Our carbon removal certificates sit within that EU strategy.
Money well spent
Convinced that carbon removal credits are about more than offsetting? You are not alone. Companies such as Microsoft, Stripe, Swiss Re and UBS are pioneering the purchase of removal credits to provide capital for carbon removal projects, contributing to climate, nature and economy at once.
7%
goes to The Climate Cleanup Foundation to run the ONCRA accounting system, so more carbon removal projects can be certified and verified.
Carbon accounting
For every tonne of CO₂ removed a certificate is produced, and your ownership of it is administered in the ledger.
As a company you receive an invoice for the transaction. Together with the certificates and the ledger, that proves your contribution — documents that matter for your own carbon accounting.
