For the construction sector
CO₂ removal in construction: build biobased foundations with wooden piles
For contractors, project developers and construction companies looking to offset their construction-related emissions or found their projects on biobased wooden piles.
Why this matters
Construction is one of the largest sources of emissions
The construction sector accounts for nearly 40% of all fossil emissions worldwide, with concrete production making up a significant share. Underground Forest helps reduce that impact — by replacing concrete foundation piles with biobased wooden piles and by enabling companies to offset their residual emissions with permanent, Netherlands-based CO₂ removal.
