RELEAF EARTH
AgriTech | NigeriaRELEAF is industrialising food processing in Africa
What they do:
Releaf Earth is a climate tech startup pioneering carbon removal and agricultural solutions leveraging biochar (BCR). Expanding from our roots in food processing technology, we now specialize in producing premium biochar from palm kernel shells. Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) is a powerful tool for carbon sequestration and a key technology for economic development in Africa.
Why we invested:
To meet global climate goals, carbon removal must scale 14,000-fold, reaching 10 billion tons annually in the next 25 years.
African farmers already experience a 150% global mean temperature rise from a climate crisis they didn’t cause. Releaf's mission is to empower rural communities with improved productivity, crop yields, and a role in achieving Net Zero Emissions.
