WongPhai
Biochar Project

Planboo’s project partner WongPhai is a community-driven initiative in rural Thailand that promotes bamboo cultivation and utilisation. Traditionally, bamboo offcuts were collected and burned, generating significant pollution.

Planboo and WongPhai joined forces in 2023 to transform bamboo remnants into biochar, effectively removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. The biochar further improves soil quality and increases crop yields in neighbouring farmlands, while also being used in septic ponds on pig farms to enhance air quality and reduce methane emissions.

Our mission extends beyond environmental impact; committed to fostering local economic growth. By leveraging carbon finance, we are setting the stage for scalable biochar initiatives that address climate change and provide substantial benefits to the community.
