ECO GREEN
Hybrid — Verra (Afforestation/Reforestation) & Puro.earth (Biochar Carbon Removal)
Hybrid Sequestration: Bamboo Afforestation & Biochar.
Located in the riparian zones of Busia County, Eco Green deploys a hybrid carbon removal
strategy across 7,000 acres of regenerative bamboo plantations. This project uniquely stacks
carbon revenues by combining afforestation activities with biochar production. The bamboo acts
as a rapid biological pump, sequestering carbon at rates up to four times higher than
traditional timber.
Simultaneously, harvested biomass is converted into biochar, mineralizing the absorbed CO2 and locking it away for centuries, generating durable removal credits via Puro.earth. This dual-stream approach maximizes carbon density per acre while regenerating the local ecosystem. The deep, fibrous root systems of the bamboo mitigate flood risks and arrest soil erosion, while the project drives the local green economy by providing a sustainable alternative to wood fuel and driving rural employment.
