Singapore, September 23, 2024

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.
