• The biochar carbon removal agreement is set for a volume of 81,600 tons CO2. 

• This partnership aims to boost carbon dioxide removal and represents a significant step toward achieving a net-zero future. 

• The collaboration not only benefits the climate, but reduces health and fire risks, promotes deforestation mitigation and supports local communities.

As the urgency of climate challenges mounts, investments in carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction strategies, particularly biochar projects, are becoming critical to corporate sustainability efforts. Biochar, produced through the thermal decomposition of organic material, offers a promising solution by not only sequestering carbon for centuries and potentially decreasing atmospheric CO2, but also enhancing soil health and agricultural productivity. Senken and Exomad Green are thrilled to announce their offtake agreement for the supply of 81,600 tonnes of biochar carbon removal credits between 2025 and 2028. One of the largest biochar deals in the world.

This collaboration demonstrates the viability and potential of biochar technology as an effective approach for corporations to achieve their sustainability objectives, showcasing how investments in carbon removal technologies can yield significant environmental and social benefits. With the operation based in Concepción, Bolivia, Exomad Green's project highlights the multifaceted advantages of biochar, from reducing health and fire risks associated with open burning to enriching agricultural practices in local indigenous communities.

Each biochar batch at the Green Concepción facility is uniquely identified and meticulously tracked from production to application, ensuring additional transparency related to Carbon Removal delivery. The project will follow compliance with the Puro Standard, a leading carbon removal standard that provides science-based quantification methodologies for durable carbon removal technologies. Additionally, Senken’s robust due diligence process assisted in reducing risk.

The partnership between Senken and Exomad Green represents a significant step toward achieving a net-zero future. By merging carbon removal technology with strict digital tracking and emphasizing the welfare of community and ecosystem preservation, this partnership underscores a united vision for a sustainable and equitable future.

“We are proud and thrilled for the team's ability to close such a significant deal”

As an early investor in Senken, we're incredibly proud and thrilled for the team's ability to close such a significant deal. Had this acquisition occurred just a week earlier, it would have ranked as the largest biochar deal in history. A big shoutout to Microsoft for swooping in and taking the spotlight on this one ;-). In the grand scheme of the global carbon dioxide removal market, Senken secured the 8th position—not too shabby for a startup that's been around for just about two years.

Hope you all have a great week ahead!
