Growing bamboo in Europe is necessary to feed the biobased industry. Bamboo is omnipresent in Europe in tens of thousands of applications. Bamboo fits in perfectly in the current vision of nature-inclusive agriculture and carbon farming. The fast-growing grass is one of the fastest renewable commodities, provides a highly versatile material and offers European farmers a sustainable green business model.
Bamboo Carbon Removal is born from the ambition to support farmers and landowners who are the foundation of a green bamboo industry in Europe. Our experts in bamboo propagation and cultivation have already realized more than 25,000 hectares of bamboo fields worldwide since the 1980s and are now putting this knowledge to work for Europe. Bamboo for the green economy whilst removing a lot of CO₂.
By growing bamboo, we are not only sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide, but also provide a sustainable solution for agriculture and industry. Our farmers have chosen to do things differently; by growing bamboo in partnership with BambooLogic, they are contributing to a circular economy and a cleaner future.
Former Director General of INBAR, the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation, and a lifelong advocate for bamboo as a climate solution.
“Bamboo is the only crop that lets a farmer harvest every year without ever replanting — that is what makes it a carbon sink you can rely on.”
Leads project development in Portugal, from the first Alcoutim planting through to the on-site Bureau Veritas verification.
“Alcoutim was bare, stony ground. Seeing it turn green while it stores carbon is the whole argument in one field.”
