Carbon Impact

Each hectare of bamboo has the potential to capture up to 616 tons of CO₂, with the majority of sequestration taking place within the first 12 years. Once fully grown, bamboo fields continue to store carbon for decades, both in the soil and in long-lasting products made from the harvested biomass. As bamboo is harvested, it naturally regenerates, and when transformed into durable goods, the carbon it contains remains securely stored for extended periods.

Thanks to ONCRA-certified monitoring and annual site inspections, the project ensures a verifiable, long-term climate impact, enabled exclusively through carbon financing.

Impact on Local Communities & Environment

Bamboo offers wide-reaching environmental and economic benefits. It improves soil health, prevents erosion, and retains water, helping farmlands become more climate-resilient. Its year-round leaf creates a rich humus layer, while its dense root system supports biodiversity and improves water quality.

Economically, bamboo is a game-changer for farmers. It provides long-term income through carbon credits and serves as a renewable raw material for multiple industries. Bamboo can be used in construction (as a replacement for concrete, steel, and PVC), furniture, textiles, packaging, and bioplastics. Its strength, flexibility, and fast regrowth make it ideal for the green building economy.

With demand for sustainable materials growing rapidly across Europe, bamboo helps farmers tap into new markets by creating jobs, local businesses, and a more self-sufficient green supply chain.

What is bamboo reforestation?

Europe’s agricultural sector faces mounting challenges like soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and the growing urgency of climate change. There's a pressing need for nature-based solutions that restore land health while actively removing carbon from the atmosphere. This project, developed with Dutch farmers and certified by ONCRA, introduces bamboo as a regenerative crop with long-term environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants and a powerful tool for climate action and land restoration. Once planted, bamboo fields can thrive for 60 to over 100 years, requiring no replanting. Its dense root network prevents soil erosion, improves water retention, and supports the formation of a rich humus layer, boosting long-term soil fertility.

In addition to enhancing soil and water quality, bamboo acts as a biodiversity catalyst. It provides a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna, especially when fields are harvested instead of being clear-cut. With Dutch farmers at the center, the project offers an alternative land-use model that combines ecological regeneration with rural economic resilience.

Certification Standard


This project is certified by ONCRA (Open Natural Carbon Removal Accounting), an open, science-based framework for tracking and verifying nature-based carbon removal. ONCRA was created to ensure that carbon projects are not only credible and transparent, but also deliver real, lasting climate impact.

Developed by climate experts and soil scientists, ONCRA focuses on measurable CO₂ removal and co-benefits like biodiversity, soil health, and ecosystem resilience. By providing farmers and land stewards with robust monitoring tools and clear methodologies, ONCRA helps make regenerative land use scalable and trustworthy.

Regreener's Rating

Oncra’s bamboo carbon removal projects demonstrate how nature-based solutions can deliver scalable, high-impact climate action. By harnessing bamboo’s ability to sequester up to 48 tons of CO₂ per hectare annually, these projects transform degraded land into thriving carbon sinks while, enhancing biodiversity, and supporting local livelihoods. Certified under ONCRA’s measurement-based framework and aligned with ISO 14064 standards, each project undergoes independent verification and transparent reporting. This guarantees credibility and reliability, making them ideal for corporations and investors seeking tangible, low-risk local climate solutions. Beyond carbon removal, the projects advance multiple Sustainable Development Goals - from climate action and biodiversity to economic growth - by channeling 93% of carbon credit revenues back to farmers and local communities. Oncra’s approach proves that natural carbon removal can be both practical and transformative, turning marginal lands into engines for ecological and economic renewal. These projects set a benchmark for operational excellence, offering a trusted pathway to net-zero that delivers measurable environmental, social, and economic co-benefits
