Recapture has pioneered a profitable carbon removal system that utilizes hybridized and sterile, fast-growing hardwoods to capture 3x CO2 per hectare than traditional reforestation. Projects store atmospheric carbon in soil, root biomass, and eco-timber destined as building materials.
The Terra Nova Series focuses on converting previously deforested lands used for industrial agricultural production into carbon sinks before ultimately putting them into long-term conservation. During the project lifecycle we restructure soils with natural humus and restore mycorrhizal networks, ensuring the necessary conditions for intercropping with native plants and re-wilding upon the final harvest.
Recapture regenerating afforestation model sequesters carbon in three forms. Stacking carbon into one system,
we are able to capture more than 30 tons of CO₂ per hectare planted per year.
Traditional forestry methods, which disturb soil carbon, rarely report the net emissions from their projects. Recapture's approach utilizes non-invasive and non-GMO, fast-growing CAM+ photosynthesizing eudicot hybrids that grow to maturity in only five years and regenerate from the stump after harvesting. Leaving 70%+ of the carbon locked up in building materials and the rest in below-ground biomass undisturbed for generations.
