About Underground Forest

Underground Forest delivers permanent carbon removal by integrating wooden foundation piles into sustainable construction. By storing wooden piles (CO₂) deep in oxygen free soils, we lock carbon away for 1000+ years using a proven, scientifically verified method. Our high-integrity carbon credits combine climate impact with practical infrastructure, giving organisations a reliable, scalable and cost-effective path to net-zero. This approach revives a proven building method used for centuries across the Netherlands (Dam Palace is build on wooden piles) and cities like Venice, where wooden piles have preserved their carbon in Peatland for over a 1000 years. Today, Underground Forest transforms this time-tested principle into a scalable climate technology, replacing carbon-intensive concrete with natural materials and linking the construction sector directly to the carbon removal market. Our solution delivers dual impact: ✔ Permanent carbon removal with 1000+years scale durability ✔ Net-negative construction without added cost ✔ High-quality carbon credits for hard-to-abate emissions ✔ Sustainable forestry with continuous replanting ✔ Stronger, future-proof building on soft soils Founded in 2023, Underground Forest works with partners across forestry, construction, certification, and government to scale permanent carbon storage and climate-positive development worldwide. Our mission is simple: restore climate balance by storing wood underground and permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
