CLIMATE SMART GROWTH with BIO-BASED SYSTEMS
Sub-Saharan Africa has the greatest bioenergy potential in the world.
Largely overlooked, bioenergy is just 3% of the continents energy mix.
Hundreds of millions of tons of biomass waste produced annually go unused, and with them invaluable opportunities to avoid their CO2 emissions, generate carbon negative renewable energy, permanently removal CO2, and create bio-based circular economies.
FACET sees innovative use of biomass waste as the most powerful tool to:
- Provide baseload renewable electricity to the 845 million people living without it
- Replenish soil health & improve agricultural yields
- Restore degraded landscapes: forest, savanna, agricultural lands & their biodiversity
- Address water scarcity with enhanced ecosystem services & bio-based filtration
- Create rural and urban jobs; local and regional bio-based manufacturing circular economies
MULTIPLYING IMPACT
Every decision we make, every action we take, is thoughtfully designed to optimize carbon impact & maximize ROI, which we measure in financial return; climate, environmental & social impact; and local community benefits.
Our Complete Climate Solutions Energy EcoSystems are carbon management triple threats designed to:
- Avoid,
- Permanently Remove, and
- Displace CO2
- And then some....
THE FASTEST PATH TO 1.5C
WHERE WE ARE
BIOENERGY WITH CARBON REMOVAL
WHERE WE NEED TO BE
- We are on course for 2.7C
- CO2 emissions reductions AND CO2 removal are urgently required to course correct
- There is no precedent for the speed and scale of the necessary transition
- Every dollar spent, action taken, product made MUST maximize carbon impact & ensure a JUST transition
WHERE WE NEED TO BE
BIOENERGY WITH CARBON REMOVAL
WHERE WE NEED TO BE
We need to remove 10 Gigatons of CO2 a year from now to 2050: 20 Gigatons of CO2 a year thereafter. Current CDR capacity stands at 0.026% of our target.
At no time in history has an industry this size been built in just three decades. However, growth on this timeline is "a necessity, not an option." Swiss Re
We see it as a tremendous opportunity for African farmers, rural communities, entrepreneurs, and economies to prosper

“Converting biomass into fuels with simultaneous capture of the process CO2 emissions holds the greatest potential for negative emissions.”
Getting to Neutral
Bioenergy must grow 14% a year for the world to meet Net Zero by 2050.

NATURE'S PIVOTAL ROLE
Biodiversity, healthy soils, intact & restored natural landscapes, and vibrant ecosystems provide vital carbon removal, ecosystem services, and climate adaptations critical to global Net Zero, Just Transition & Sustainable Development Goals.
While we see biodiversity's and natural capital's intrinsic value, the world has finally woken up to their staggering economic value.
Biodiversity generates $150 Trillion in annual economic value - Double Global GDP

THE POWER IN SYSTEMS
Integrating carbon negative bioenergy production with biochar CDR & biochar application to soils to support the growth of soil health replenishment, climate smart agriculture, degraded landscape restoration, biodiversity preservation, ecosystem conservation and invigorate the CDR capacity of these natural capital systems creates a pathway to:
- Global Removal of 50 Gigatons a year by 2050
- Avoiding & displacing billions of tons CO2 from biomass waste recycling, fossil fuel displacement, stopping deforestation, alleviating poverty, replenishing soil health
- Creating billions of dollars in economic impact and opportunities for rural communities
- Firmly establishing Africa's economic leadership in a Net Zero EconomyWhat's something exciting your business offers? Say it here.
