About Us
Building Wales's collective
carbon removal infrastructure, together
Clo means 'lock' in Cymraeg
And that's what we do - We lock carbon in biochar & deep in soil, realising Wales's capacity for permanent, nature-based carbon removal.
Our 2032 Target
We will deliver at least 350,000 tonnes of durable CO₂e removals annually by 2032.
Achieving this means partnering with up to 5,000 farmers and landowners in a genuinely collective effort to transform at least 30,000 hectares of our agricultural land into a unified, durable carbon storage solution.

Why we started
Limiting global warming requires the removal of billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is clear: carbon dioxide removal is essential to achieving net-zero. But how this carbon is removed - and who benefits - matters.
Wales has a long history of resource extraction, where value left communities while environmental costs remained. As carbon removal scales globally, similar extractive models are emerging, with value captured by distant platforms rather than local communities.
We believe carbon removal can work differently. It can deliver carbon impact while creating lasting local economic and social value. We’re building the infrastructure to enable that model.
Equity underpins our approach: carbon removal that strengthens communities, uses local land and labour and ensures benefits are shared locally - while contributing to global climate goals.
Who we are
Our founding team combines 55+ years of experience across agricultural production, economics, biomass
thermal conversion, land management, pyrolytic R&D, digital systems design & product development - uniquely positioning us to bridge traditional farming practice with the latest carbon removal innovations.

How We Work
Farmers already steward around 90% of Wales' land. With the proper tools & fair incentives, we know they have the knowledge and experience to deliver carbon removal to the highest standards.
Our focus is on providing those tools. Practical, appropriately-scaled biochar applications & a robust, discreet digital infrastructure that come from our working experience & knowing that change can only happen when climate innovation meets the realities of daily farming life.
Bridging The Divide
We've watched the gap between policymakers and farming communities grow with real concern. Well-intentioned climate policies that misunderstand agricultural realities create resistance where we need alignment & collective action. With less and less time to act on the climate crisis, we can't afford this divide.
For us, success means much more than tonnes of carbon removed. It's family farms thriving into the next generation, rural communities revitalised by green industries. Our ambition is to prove that climate action and social justice represent the same goals, actions & outcomes.
Building Our Collective Infrastructure
We're creating Wales's collective carbon removal infrastructure, which means creating governance structures that ensure farmers & communities have genuine voice and ownership in the system they're building.
We're currently forming participatory structures & advisory panels, with input from our early farming partners and stakeholders from farming unions, public sector policy makers & key industry stakeholders.
This governance work is guided, in part, by the Well-being of Future Generations Act principles and our fundamental belief: those doing the work of carbon removal should shape how the system operates and share in its success.
Full governance frameworks will launch as we grow with our farming community. If you're interested in shaping these structures, please get in touch.
From Wales To The World
In Wales, we have the conditions & natural resources to demonstrate what community-centred carbon removal looks like at scale: concentrated agricultural land, strong cooperative traditions, supportive policy frameworks, and communities that need economic revitalisation.
But we are not inward facing... Effective climate action requires coordinated effort across regions and borders. As we build and refine our approach, we're documenting what works (and what doesn't) for others tackling similar challenges in their own contexts.
The methodologies we're developing here - for farmer support structures, biochar applications, and equitable value-sharing - are designed to be adaptable & climate-resilient. Different regions have different agricultural systems, policy environments, and community structures.... We're building with that reality in mind.
