PROBLEM

The construction industry drives global warming, deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

• Global construction accounts for 38% of total global emissions, with buildings equivalent to the size of Paris being built every week. 4 billion tonnes of cement produced each year for concrete construction accounts for 8% of the total global carbon dioxide emissions. (2021, WEF)

• Tropical primary forest loss in 2022 totaled 4.1 million hectares, the equivalent of losing 11 football fields of forest per minute. All this forest loss produced 2.7 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to India’s annual fossil fuel emissions (2022, WRI)

SOLUTION

Achieving net-zero strategy for the built environment by transforming the construction industry to work towards land restoration, carbon sequestration, and green jobs creation. Why now?

• By 2030, 100% of new buildings must be net-zero carbon in operation, and embodied carbon must be reduced by at least 40%.

• By 2030, the Great Green Wall initiative’s ambition is to restore 100 million hectares of currently degraded land; sequester 250 million tons of carbon and create 10 million green jobs.

Net-zero strategy for the built environment (2020, Arup)

• By 2050, All new and existing assets must be net-zero across the whole life cycle.

WHY BAMBOO?

The Green Steel In the Know

GLOBALLY AVAILABLE

EFFECTIVE CARBON SINK

FASTEST GROWING PLANT

SELF-SUSTAINING PLANT

Already on 3.2% of the total forest area (approx. 36 million hectares worldwide in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, Central & South America)

Locks in carbon it transforms into oxygen 30% more effectively than other plants

1.2 meters growth potential per day leading up to max. 3-4 years to establish mature groves

Growing out of a tangle of underground stems, not from seeds

ECOSYSTEM SERVICES PROVISION rejuvenates degraded lands, restores soil fertility, prevents erosion, drought tolerant

VERSATILE APPLICATION

WIDE LEVEL OF SDG IMPACT

paper, construction and composite materials

According to International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation (IJBAR), planting bamboo can be the first stage in long-term agroforestry and agricultural redevelopment

ECONOMICALLY VIABLE

ADDS ARCHITECTURAL VALUE

low-cost, sustainable, viable for industrial or household-level commercialization

Higher mitigated risk, improved safety, reduced liability, sustainable design, tangible aesthetics, improved accessibility, material & cost savings, increased property value, reduced project timelines, reduced maintenance costs, improved energy performance, reduced environmental impact

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

The Bamboo plantation and construction value-chain provides a global solution and untapped market opportunity.

Total Addressable Market estimation: $88.43B by 2030

The global bamboo market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.5% from 2021 to 2030 to reach USD 88.43 billion by 2030.

Untapped African market: Global Bamboo Market, Net Zero and Green Infrastructure (i.e. Great GreenWall Initiative) trends do not show the real growth potential in Sub-Saharan Africa despite its local availability, lack of know-how on plantation, harvesting, treatment, and construction.
