Tivano Carbon removes invasive savanna shrubs in Namibia and stores the harvested biomass in engineered underground vaults for long‑term carbon sequestration. The process restores degraded rangelands, improves biodiversity and grazing capacity, and creates local employment through community‑centered restoration projects. Customers can purchase traceable, certified carbon credits that fund the full restoration‑to‑storage value chain.

Problem
Addressing global warming necessitates active removal of atmospheric CO₂. Current methods often lack permanence, transparency, or verifiable ecological co-benefits, and fail to address localized environmental degradation.
Solution
Tivano Carbon offers a solution for verifiable carbon removal through the permanent burial of biomass, effectively sequestering CO₂ underground. This process is integrated with the restoration of degraded savanna landscapes, specifically targeting encroacher bush in Namibia. The company provides high-integrity, traceable carbon credits backed by rigorous monitoring and transparent data from biomass harvest to underground storage. This approach not only mitigates climate change but also enhances local biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Target Audience
Tivano Carbon's primary customers are organizations and entities seeking verifiable, permanent carbon removal solutions to meet climate commitments, alongside those interested in supporting ecological restoration and biodiversity initiatives.
