  • Can businesses also buy this product?
    Yes, businesses are welcome to purchase the Lifetime Carbon Removal product. Get in contact with one of our carbon experts for more details.
  • What happens if the bamboo forest is affected by natural disasters?
    Panama is outside of the hurricane area, so natural disasters such as hurricanes do not reach Panama. Nevertheless, we ensure there is always a % of carbon credits stored in a buffer pool as insurance for unexpected disasters, providing extra security for the lifetime carbon removal commitment.
  • Do you intend to plant monocultures?
    No, we do not plant monocultures. Our approach involves mixed-species forests, where a maximum of 60% of plants are non-invasive clumping bamboo. This helps maintain biodiversity and supports ecological balance.
  • What is the Lifetime Carbon Removal Service?
    The Lifetime Carbon Removal Service is an offering by Bambouku that allows customers to offset their carbon footprint for the rest of their lives with a one-time payment. This is made possible through the carbon sequestration abilities of Bambouku's bamboo forests, which remove COâ‚‚ from the atmosphere annually.
  • How much carbon will be removed annually?
    One hectare of our bamboo forest will roughly store 25 tons of COâ‚‚ per year, providing a significant and ongoing reduction in atmospheric carbon.
  • How does bamboo compare to traditional reforestation in terms of carbon sequestration?
    A bamboo forest can reach maturity in just seven years, much faster than traditional reforestation methods. This rapid growth allows for more efficient carbon sequestration over a shorter period of time.
  • What is the price of the Lifetime Carbon Removal Service?
    You pay a one-time fixed price of $1,200 per ton of COâ‚‚. After this payment, you will receive the benefit of that ton of carbon removal every year for the rest of your life, with no additional costs.
  • What kind of reporting or documentation will I receive?
    You will receive a carbon certificate from Bambouku, as well as annual certificates verified by a third party. We plan to do the initial planting in 2025 and 2026, with the first certificates being issued in 2026 and 2027.
  • How do I purchase the Lifetime Carbon Removal product?
    You can purchase the product via our web store. It is designed to be simple and accessible, allowing you to invest in climate action easily.
  • How is the carbon offset verified?
    We use third-party verification to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the carbon sequestration figures, giving our customers confidence in the impact of their investment.
  • How does this contribute to local communities?
    Our bamboo forests provide jobs, restore habitats, improve water storage, and contribute to local ecological health, offering significant benefits to surrounding communities.
  • Why Bamboo?
    Bamboo is the world's fastest-growing plant and has an excellent ability to sequester carbon. Unlike trees that can take decades to mature, bamboo regenerates quickly, allowing for annual harvesting and continuous carbon sequestration. This ensures a consistent and renewable approach to carbon offsetting, making it more effective over the long term compared to traditional methods.
  • How does it work?
    When you purchase the Lifetime Carbon Removal product, you make a one-time investment. Bambouku uses this to cultivate and manage bamboo forests, which absorb and store carbon from the atmosphere. Each year, you receive carbon offset certificates corresponding to the amount of COâ‚‚ removed, thereby helping you maintain a long-term commitment to reducing your carbon footprint.
  • Is this product eligible for carbon credits in the voluntary market?
    The Lifetime Carbon Removal product is an environmental product intended for personal contribution to carbon offsetting and environmental restoration. It is not a security, nor is it tradable. This product is for you as an individual to contribute to climate action meaningfully over your lifetime.
