Fact File

🦍 Interholco, the project developer, is a Swiss company managing a natural tropical forest in the Republic of Congo, keeping gorillas and their habitats protected.

♼ Biochar is produced from industrial residues of FSC certified biomass from a sawmill that has been in place for more than 20 years, guaranteeing a stable supply.

🌳 IHC developed a scientifically proven methodology for industrial biochar production. The resulting biochar is used for soil application inside their forest.

About this Project
The Problem

Sawmill operations, like the one in the Republic of Congo, often produce significant biomass waste. Traditionally, this waste is burned or discarded, leading to increased CO2 emissions and contributing to environmental pollution and climate change.

The Solution

The innovative use of biochar, a new carbon removal solution, addresses this issue. Biomass waste is transformed into biochar, a stable carbon form stored in soil, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. This method not only manages waste sustainably but also contributes to environmental conservation and supports local communities through employment and essential services​.
