Green Carbon Co. has partnered with Thailand Natural Rubber Corp. to develop biochar-based carbon credits using rubber wood scraps. This collaboration aims to enhance soil quality, reduce chemical fertilizer usage, and promote sustainability across Thai rubber plantations while adhering to global decarbonization and certification standards.

The project will cover 4 million hectares of Thai rubber plantations, focusing on resource recycling by converting end-of-life rubber trees into biochar. Green Carbon plans to scientifically verify the benefits of biochar application, including its potential for soil carbon fixation, reduced chemical fertilizer use, and improved tree growth.

In addition to biochar production, the partnership will promote sustainable cultivation methods and work towards meeting global sustainability standards, such as obtaining forest certifications and complying with EU regulations like EUDR and CBAM.

This initiative is expected to generate carbon credits that could serve as a model for decarbonizing the global natural rubber industry. The insights gained from this project in Thailand will be applied to other rubber-producing countries, including Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
