Climeworks has partnered with Truecoco, a Ghana-based biochar company, to secure an offtake agreement for 90,000 carbon removal credits certified by Puro.earth, valid until 2032. Truecoco will use coconut husk waste to produce biochar, aiming to improve soil health and climate resilience in agricultural sites.

The project has generated over 35 direct and 100 indirect jobs and trained over 180 smallholder farmers. Truecoco, the first West African biochar project to gain Puro.earth certification, is also collaborating with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) on evaluating biochar effects on various crops.
