Midori Climate Partner Pte. Ltd. (Headquarters: Singapore) has partnered with CSNC Agriculture Co., Ltd., an agricultural commodity trading firm that recently launched a cashew nut processing factory in Kampong Thom, Cambodia, to initiate a biomass waste management project. This project will produce biochar to improve degraded soils while generating carbon credits, promoting sustainable agriculture, and supporting climate change mitigation efforts. Through its application as a soil amendment, the project is expected to enhance soil quality and generate 10,000t CO2e of carbon credits annually from carbon removal activities. This initiative will contribute to Cambodia’s sustainable industrial development and environmental protection.
Expanding
Biomass Suppliers
The project will primarily
use cashew nut shells as biomass waste to produce biochar. In addition to
cashew nut shells, the project is actively seeking other sources of biomass
waste within Cambodia. This includes pruned branches from rubber and cashew nut
plantations, rice husks, durian shells, cassava residues, and mango seeds.
Biomass suppliers who contribute to the project will be given priority for
receiving biochar-based organic fertilizer, which can be used to increase crop
yields and reduce chemical fertilizer usage.
Calling
for Project Partners and Supporters
The biochar production
machinery, a pyrolysis device, will be installed and operational the first half
of 2025. The project is currently seeking donors and corporate carbon credit
buyers to support its early-stage development. We welcome partners committed to
promoting sustainable business growth through Cambodia’s circular economy,
particularly within the cashew nut industry. For potential collaborators, please contact [email protected]
