Reclimate

What Reclimate does

Reclimate Sdn. Bhd. is a private, Malaysia-headquartered carbon removal company founded in 2023 that develops, deploys, and monetizes biochar projects across Southeast Asia. The company converts agricultural residues (wood waste, cassava residues, corn cobs, patchouli waste) into biochar through low-tech pit pyrolysis, generating verified carbon removal credits with permanence exceeding 1,000 years. Reclimate operates an integrated platform with three core offerings: project deployment and development (designing and training local partners to operate biochar projects), a Digital MRV platform combining on-ground sampling, lab soil testing, and remote sensing, and carbon market access via spot and forward offtake agreements. Projects are registered under Carbon Standards International, audited by CERES-CERT, and rated by Verra (VBB A-BB), Sylvera, and ICROA.

The company operates regional sub-brands Soil and Flame (Malaysia) and Nusantara Archipelago (Indonesia), with active projects including Greater Klang Valley (800-1,000 tCO2e/year), Borneo (900+ tCO2e/year), Northern Borneo (~900 tCO2e/year), and West Pasaman (1,500 tCO2e/year expected), totaling 2,000+ tonnes of cumulative CO2 removed. Revenue is generated through three streams: carbon credit sales (primary), biochar product sales to farms and plantations, and project development services. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting net-zero corporates and global supply chain leaders seeking Scope 3 solutions, supplemented by direct sales to regional millers, farms/plantations, and waste management entities. The company has raised approximately $450K to date across two 2023 rounds and operates with 1-10 employees, relying on a distributed model with local farmer cooperatives and 100% local workforce participation at project sites.

Core offering

Reclimate develops and operates biochar-based carbon removal projects across Southeast Asia, converting agricultural waste into biochar using pit-to-plot pyrolysis for permanent carbon storage. The company generates verified carbon removal credits for sale to corporates and supply chain buyers, and sells the residual biochar byproduct as soil amendment to farms, plantations, millers, and waste management entities.

Product overview

Reclimate is a carbon removal company offering an integrated platform for end-to-end biochar project development, digital MRV, and carbon market access across Southeast Asia. The core offering consists of three interconnected services: Project Deployment and Development (designing and implementing biochar projects with local partners), Digital MRV and Project Platform (hybrid monitoring, reporting, and verification combining on-ground sampling and remote sensing), and Carbon Market Access and Monetization (connecting projects to global carbon markets via spot and forward offtake agreements). The company operates regional sub-brands including Soil and Flame (Malaysia) and Nusantara Archipelago (Indonesia), with specific biochar projects at multiple sites. Solutions are tailored for different stakeholder segments including millers, farms/plantations, waste management companies, global supply chains, and net-zero corporations.

Direct peers

• Pacific Biochar Benefit Corporation: Pacific Biochar produces biochar from forest residues in the US and sells verified carbon removal credits. Direct peer: same feedstock-to-biochar conversion process, same voluntary carbon market distribution, similar emphasis on permanence and third-party verification.
• Carbon Gold: Carbon Gold is a UK biochar company focused on agricultural applications and carbon credit generation from biomass pyrolysis. Direct peer: shared biochar-for-agriculture model and dual carbon-credit + soil-amendment revenue streams targeting corporates and growers.
• Carbofex: Carbofex is a Finnish industrial-scale biochar producer selling carbon removal credits from pyrolysis of woody biomass. Direct peer: same core product (biochar carbon credits), same voluntary carbon market go-to-market, comparable verified-credit positioning.
• Biochar Now: Biochar Now is a Colorado-based biochar producer generating carbon removal credits and agricultural soil products. Direct peer: identical business model of pyrolyzing biomass into biochar, monetizing through carbon credits and soil amendment sales.

Emerging players

• Charm Industrial: Charm Industrial produces biochar-like carbon removals via biomass pyrolysis and direct atmospheric sequestration in the US. Emerging peer: overlapping biomass-to-stable-carbon pathway and verified carbon removal credit go-to-market, though operating at industrial scale with significantly larger capital base.

Others

• Puro.earth: Puro.earth is a carbon removal registry and marketplace that issues and trades biochar and other engineered removal credits. Others: not a competitor but a marketplace infrastructure layer through which biochar credits (and potentially Reclimate's) are issued and sold.
• Sylvera: Sylvera is a carbon credit ratings and intelligence platform used by corporate buyers to assess project quality. Others: enables rather than competes with Reclimate — Reclimate's Borneo project is recognized by Sylvera — and represents the type of ratings infrastructure that supports Reclimate's premium pricing thesis.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole Group: South Pole is a large, established carbon project developer and advisory across nature-based and tech-based solutions globally. Broad incumbent: similar B2B voluntary carbon market customers but much broader portfolio, not focused exclusively on biochar.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise climate platform that helps companies measure, reduce, and purchase high-quality carbon removal credits. Broad incumbent: shares Reclimate's enterprise buyer target (net-zero corporates, Scope 3) but operates as a marketplace/advisory layer rather than a project developer.

Regional players

• Varaha: Varaha is an India-based carbon project developer generating verified credits from nature-based solutions with growing presence across South and Southeast Asia. Regional peer: comparable Asia-based carbon project developer serving global voluntary buyers with agricultural and land-based removal.
