Since 2019, ECOSOM has saved over 140,000 trees by replacing
charcoal with briquettes and planting seed balls across Somalia.
Its biochar has permanently removed around 36,000 tons of CO₂,
while briquette use has prevented another 31,000 tons, totaling
over 67,000 tons of CO₂ impact.
More than 29,000 tons of agri-waste have been recycled into
clean energy, animal feed, and soil enhancers, reducing pollution
and supporting sustainable agriculture.
By 2030, ECOSOM aims to remove an additional 176,000
tons of CO₂ and save 60,000 more trees through scaled-up
biochar and briquette production.
ECOSOM is leading a green shift in Somalia fighting
deforestation, cutting emissions, and restoring ecosystems.
By the Numbers (2019–2024):
Since 2019, ECOSOM has been driving measurable change for people, climate, and communities across Somalia.
Sustainability, Innovation, and Reliability.
