プロジェクト概要
Based in Switzerland, INTERHOLCO (IHC) is dedicated to the expansion of the carbon removal market while emphasizing additionality and co-benefits in the Global South. By leveraging their biochar production in the Congo Basin, the company produces high-quality carbon dioxide removals. These removals are sourced from 100% FSC/PEFC-certified hardwood residues, obtained from the natural forests owned by the State and managed by IHC's subsidiary, IFO.
The biochar produced is strategically applied onsite, effectively sequestering CO₂ for over 1,000 years as an integral part of enriching forest soil. Prior to IHC's initiative, the wood waste was either openly burned or used in traditional charcoal production, contributing to increased pollution and emissions in the atmosphere.
With this innovative approach, emissions are now avoided, and the annual production of approximately 15,000 – 20,000 tonnes of CO₂e demonstrates IHC's commitment to permanently removing carbon and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
