Tambora Carbon Removal accelerates natural carbon sequestration by deploying crushed volcanic rock on agricultural lands in Southeast Asia. This enhanced rock weathering process removes CO2 from the atmosphere while simultaneously improving soil health and crop yields for local farmers. The company generates carbon credits from this process, offering a nature-based solution for carbon removal.

Problem
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, necessitating scalable and durable carbon removal solutions. Degraded agricultural lands and decommissioned mining sites often suffer from poor soil health, reduced fertility, and limited carbon sequestration capacity.
Solution
Tambora Carbon Removal accelerates natural carbon sequestration and improves land health through enhanced rock weathering (ERW) and biochar application. ERW involves spreading finely crushed volcanic rock on agricultural lands and mining sites, which captures CO2 from the atmosphere and converts it into stable bicarbonates while enriching the soil with essential nutrients. Biochar, produced from biomass pyrolysis, is also applied to improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability. This integrated approach generates high-quality carbon credits, increases crop yields, reduces the need for artificial fertilizers, and supports the ecological restoration of degraded lands.
Target Audience
The primary customers are agribusinesses, mining companies, and smallholder farmers in the Asia Pacific region seeking durable carbon removal solutions and improved land management practices.
