Cooperate with African women solving climate change,
not middle men exploiting it

As a coop we put people before profits. Climate change is a collective pain that is a side effect of just wanting nice things in life: a hot shower, an easier commute, an airplane flight to see family or take a vacation. We dont believe profits should be made from this pain and our commitment is to sell the carbon to you at cost price.

This is also smart as the lower the price the more we can sell. Climate scientists estimate we need to remove 4-16 billion metric tons of carbon/year! That wont happen at $150/metric ton. Currently we are around 28% below market price and are aiming for 85% below market price.

We might be crazy, but we think this is possible for two reasons:

1. The most important is that we don’t have investors who want profits!
2. The second is how our primary business model, selling solutions to farmers, enables us to get free biomass which lowers the price of making carbon credits.

We make and sell biochar fertilizer (biochar + manure and synthetic fertilizers like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). By helping farmers grow more we end up with more waste biomass that is then converted to biochar. This we hope will keep price of carbon credits as low as possible which increases removal that is the best interest of farmers and the rest of us.

The removal only happens because you pay for it (what is called additionality). But the money is mostly for workers doing that work. We want 95% of what you pay to go to the workers. The remaining 5% goes to 3rd party verification and auditing companies who verify the process.

As a coop our accounts will be radically transparent (and if you are experienced in accountancy, economics etc you can join us and help ensure that).

Our carbon offset program is cost-effective, transparent, and high-impact, with over 80% of revenue directly benefiting African communities. In a time when the world is facing a shortage of reliable, high-quality carbon removal projects, our model offers a nature-based, measurable, and community-driven solution for offsetting unavoidable emissions.

Our system is fully in-house — we’ve built our own hardware, software, and operational model from the ground up. This was part of the Carbon XPRIZE which was an international competition which we competed in and won two parts of. Our end-to-end approach ensures quality, traceability, and scalability. Through our Biochar app, universities, companies, and individuals can seamlessly integrate verified carbon credits into sustainability reporting and ESG commitments, with full visibility into the impact they’re supporting.

Our model is like a gym membership. If you go to the gym and put in the hard work, then you are more conscious of what you eat. You are less likely to pile on the pounds with junk food. So, you eat with health in mind! We think that could apply to carbon. If you pay for the removal of carbon you will seek ways to reduce its emission in the first place. Our monthly newsletter will help with this and provide tips you can use to easily reduce your emissions.
