Heyford Park Innovation Centre customer TrueCoco Ghana is pleased to announce a $3.3 million investment from British International Investment to expand its existing agricultural business and finance the launch of the first industrial carbon removal project in Ghana. TrueCoco will remove more the 250k MTs of CO2 from the atmosphere and improve the livelihoods of 30k smallholder farmers by 2030.

The investment will help Truecoco to expand its soybean processing operations which will support the livelihoods of small-scale farmers in Ghana. It will also fund the launch of an industrial biochar carbon removal project that will help to improve soil health and capture carbon from the atmosphere, contributing to sustainable agriculture and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
