Choose your project
Every project is a named European farm with its own measurements, coordinates and ledger entry. Pick the one you want to support.

Soil carbon is measured on site with a licensed agronometer and cross-checked by an independent laboratory. Removals are certified under ONCRA's Land Stored Carbon Protocol and registered in the public ledger, so each credit can be traced and cannot be used twice. Follow-up measurements take place every three years.

ONCRA certified projectRaphael Vallet is farmer based in Brienne-la-Vieille, France, managing his bamboo farm located near his home. Eager to explore how bamboo grows in this region, he is focused on studying the development of his current plants with the goal of expanding his bamboo cultivation in the future. This initiative aims to positively transform the land by planting bamboo, which not only removes CO2 from the atmosphere but also fosters a new ecosystem that prevents erosion, retains soil moisture, enhances biodiversity, and provides a rapidly renewable resource. His hands-on approach and close proximity to the farm allow him to closely monitor growth conditions and adapt his practices to optimise bamboo production as he plans to increase planting over time.

Four steps
How does it work?
From choosing a farm to a certificate in the public ledger — usually within one working day.
Request
Set how many tonnes you want to remove and send your request. We confirm availability and send you a quote.
Registration
Your removal is registered in the public ONCRA ledger, which is what prevents the same tonne being sold twice.
Certificate & impact
You receive your certificate by email, and the farmer receives the income that keeps the field growing.
Beyond carbon
Bamboo is more than just removing CO₂
What makes bamboo stand out compared to other crops?
Carbon below ground
Soil that recovers
Roots hold soil against erosion, improve water retention and rebuild depleted agricultural land, storing carbon below ground as well as above it.
Habitat, not monoculture
Biodiversity returns
A bare field becomes a year-round green forest that shelters insects, birds, mice and boars, and keeps doing so between harvests.
Raw material for industry
Feeds the green economy
Harvested culms feed the bio-based industry, replacing steel, plastic and concrete — materials with a far higher carbon footprint.
A viable business model
A second income for farmers
Carbon certificates give farmers a second income stream, which is what makes planting bamboo on marginal land viable in the first place.
