Vision & Ambition

At olneo, we believe the future of carbon removal begins where the needs and opportunities are greatest. We are building a new climate economy across Africa and the Middle East, rooted in regeneration, resilience, and innovation.

Transform challenges

Emphasis on the urgency to act in Africa and MENA

Africa and the MENA region are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, facing fragile ecosystems, increasingly degraded soils, and rising environmental stress.At olneo, we turn these systemic challenges into climate opportunities through science, technology, and deeply local solutions with global relevance.

How olneo delivers impact

A regenerative loop to fight desertification and remove carbon. olneo operates a closed-loop, climate-positive model that restores degraded lands, captures atmospheric CO₂, and revitalizes agriculture, while strengthening local ecosystems and empowering communities.

Restoring degraded land

We start by restoring underused agricultural lands - reducing water stress, limiting evapotranspiration, and preserving fragile microclimates

Goal: Combat desertification through biomass valorization

Producing biochar

We turn agricultural waste into high-quality biochar - a clean, valuable material for soil and climate impact.

Goal: Supply certified biochar for regenerative agriculture and environmental use.

Amending the soil

We deliver biochar and support its use through scientific protocols - to improve soil health, water retention, and crop resilience.

Goal: Restore degraded soils with measurable, long-term impact.
