Senken Secures 50,000 Tonnes of Carbon Removal in Namibia Deal

Deliveries under the contract commence this year, targeting the burial of waste wood in engineered underground chambers to prevent decomposition. By locking carbon away for centuries without energy-intensive capture processes, the project offers a cost-effective alternative to direct air capture. This single commitment accounts for roughly 4% of the 1.5 million tonnes of permanent removal delivered globally to date.

Senken CEO Adrian Wons noted that corporate net-zero targets are rapidly outpacing available verified capacity, creating a market gap that will persist for the next decade. For Carbonsate, the long-term offtake provides the financial certainty required to scale operations at their Namibian sites. The project operates under the Puro.earth standard, utilizing proprietary monitoring and verification systems to ensure high-integrity storage.
