Econetix and EcoNations partner on 20-year bamboo biochar project in Vietnam

Carbon asset manager Econetix and Vietnamese developer EcoNations launched an integrated bamboo biochar initiative in Khánh Hòa Province, Vietnam, targeting 30,000 Puro.earth Carbon Removal Certificates (CORCs) annually. The project combines a 240-hectare bamboo plantation with a 40-tonne-per-day biochar manufacturing facility, operating under a 20-year crediting period from 2028 to 2048. To mitigate feedstock risk, the facility will initially use FSC-certified acacia and eucalyptus biomass, transitioning to 74% self-sufficiency from its dedicated bamboo plantation by Year 6. The initiative projects a cumulative removal of 600,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent over its lifetime, leveraging a dual revenue model from CORC sales and local biochar distribution. Econetix's digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) platform will monitor the project.
