Senken secures 105,000 tonnes of carbon removal for aviation decarbonisation

Senken, a carbon procurement firm, and Exomad Green, a Bolivia-based biochar producer, have agreed a multi-year offtake agreement to supply 105,000 tonnes of permanently removed carbon dioxide between 2026 and 2028, with credits earmarked for aviation sector use, according to ESG News.

The deal highlights accelerating demand for durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) as airlines confront mounting pressure to decarbonise one of the world's most emissions-intensive industries.

With the latest purchase, Senken's contracted volumes with Exomad Green now approach $30 million (€25.3 million), strengthening a long-term partnership and reinforcing investor confidence in scalable, permanent removal technologies. Aviation remains among the most difficult sectors to decarbonise due to reliance on energy-dense fuels and long asset lifecycles.

The credits will be generated from Exomad Green's industrial biochar facilities in Concepción and Riberalta, Bolivia, including production from its Guarayos facility currently under construction. The company converts sustainably sourced forestry residues that would otherwise be burned or left to decompose into stable biochar through advanced pyrolysis.

Diego Justiniano, Chief Executive Officer of Exomad Green, stated the agreement reinforces a clear market trend. Aviation is one of the most demanding sectors regarding climate integrity, with capital now flowing into permanent carbon removal signalling a structural shift in the industry.

Senken applies a technology-driven procurement process designed to withstand audit and regulatory scrutiny. Through its proprietary Sustainability Integrity Index, projects are evaluated across more than 600 data points, with the firm rejecting 95 per cent of available supply to assemble portfolios meeting tightening corporate governance and disclosure requirements.

Adrian Wons, Chief Executive Officer of Senken, stated the firm is seeing repeat demand from enterprise buyers requiring carbon portfolios they can defend to boards, auditors, and increasingly to regulators.
