Reimagining Waste,
Restoring Life.

We turn agricultural waste into clean energy and carbon credits—50% of which go directly to farmer communities.
Who we are
At Arukah, we develop institutional biochar and biogas projects from agriculture waste in the Global South—committing to allocate 50% of gross carbon credit revenue to participating farmer ecosystems.

Industrial Biochar

Converting agricultural waste with low moisture content into a stable form of carbon—biochar—to sequester carbon, and unlock new income from waste (so burning doesn't make sense anymore).

We have received an investment grade AA-BBB estimated rating for Project Foundation (Puro ID: 526866).

Household Biogas

We provide farmers biodigesters and sensors to process manure, generating renewable energy and organic fertiliser. Simultaneously, we provide software to financiers, with end-to-end traceability of carbon credits generated—using sensor data.

Arukah's Commitment to Share 50%

Farmers at the Heart
Farmers are at the heart of agrifood systems—they produce 80% of the food in Asia. A 50% share enables them to commit to climate mitigation at scale. Our projects show higher project performance over time as farmers are paid—and declining performance when they are not.
Scalability
Agriculture supply chains are complex chains of trust often built over decades in each region—we aim to partner rather than replace. With large scale agribusinesses and cooperatives, we partner programmatically to unlock new, additional income for their smallholders and sustainable waste management.
Digital First
All of our projects feature 100% digital integration with global registries on MRV—and then execute payments via licensed infrastructure. MRV is typically 75% of the cost—dMRV unlocks better margins, so we can share the upside with local communities.

FAO Regional Workshop on Carbon Markets for Agrifood Systems

Every year, 1.5 billion tonnes of agricultural crop residue is produced in the Global South, representing over a Gigatonne of carbon removal potential - and also over $100 billion a year in new climate incomes from waste.

From October 7 to 9, representatives and organisations across Asia-Pac will be gathering in Hanoi for FAO’s Regional Workshop on Carbon Markets for Agrifood Systems – focusing on bridging the gap between agrifood systems and global policies, carbon markets, and international bodies.

Food is more than a basic human need. It’s the basis of our communities and culture, and ultimately, it brings people together. At Arukah, we have a deep respect for our agricultural communities, and believe that putting farmers at the heart of our projects, means that Asia’s agrifood systems become a vital part in tackling the global climate crisis. 

As such, we’re grateful and excited to contribute our experience bringing together institutions, governments and financiers around projects in agrifood systems in emerging economies.

Please do reach out to find out more about how we bring equitable, durable carbon removal to the Global South, by collaborating with local communities with abundant agri-waste.

Puro Asia Summit 2025

Organised by Puro.earth in partnership with the Carbon Business Council, the APAC CDR Summit 2025 brought together key voices shaping the future of carbon removal across the region.

We were grateful to be spotlighted by Puro, a Nasdaq subsidiary and leading carbon removal registry globally, on the Biochar Breakthroughs panel, moderated by Ms YingYing Chen from Standard Chartered, alongside fellow innovators and practitioners working at the frontier of durable CDR.

We discussed some of the unique challenges to scaling biochar projects (not least logistics), and also the pivotal role of Asia in scaling carbon removal—thanks to its abundant land, biomass potential, and climate innovation, especially in high-impact communities like those we work with in India and Cambodia. 

Arukah also had the opportunity to share our high co-benefits model, focused on a 50% income share to participating smallholders, and scalable use of biochar for farming yield improvement. Other panelists shared promising emerging uses for built environments, including green steel. Throughout we also agreed on the critical role of high integrity MRV for building trust in global markets for project quality - including digital MRV, which is a key focus for Arukah.

Thank you to the organizers and all participants for the meaningful exchange - we are looking forward to scaling the next Gigaton from Asia together.
