Accelerating carbon removal in the tropics with dMRV

Our digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) solution leverages cutting-edge technology to accurately track and validate carbon removal efforts. By applying biochar to soils we permanently remove CO2 for 1000+ years from the atmosphere. This supports people and food systems to prosper.

The story

Planboo sought an innovative dMRV solution to empower tropical landowners in generating verifiable carbon credits and additional income through sustainable practices.

Importance of Empowering Tropical Landowners

Environmental Conservation
Tropical forests are vital for biodiversity and act as significant carbon sinks, which help mitigate climate change. Empowering landowners ensures these forests are managed sustainably, preserving their ecological functions.
Economic Sustainability
Sustainable management of tropical forests can support local economies by providing long-term economic benefits. Empowered landowners can implement sustainable practices that prevent over-extraction and maintain the forest's economic viability.
Indigenous Rights and Community Involvement
Many tropical forests are home to Indigenous Peoples whose rights and livelihoods depend on these lands. Empowering landowners includes respecting Indigenous rights and involving them in decision-making, which enhances sustainable forest management.
Balancing Resource Use and Preservation
Empowered landowners can balance the extraction of forest resources with the need to preserve the forest for future generations, ensuring that societal demands do not lead to over-exploitation.

Think-it’s role

We built a mobile app to facilitate generating high quality carbon removal credits with biochar from bamboo and other plant waste in the tropics. The MVP app allows users to intuitively enter the information in remote locations and assigns official credits for each cooking process.

Why it mattered

Within 5 months, we enabled the Planboo Team to seek further funding thanks to quick and rapid MVP development and certified carbon credits. For every tonne of biochar produced, two tonnes of CO2 were removed from the atmosphere while reducing the need for chemical fertilizer by improving soils, all while providing additional financial income for landowners in the tropics. This project exemplifies Think-it's commitment to leveraging technology for global sustainability, aligning with international efforts to achieve net-zero targets.
