Increase farm resilience and unlock durable carbon removals.
TehaGreen helps agribusinesses design and implement biochar strategies that improve soil and pasture performance and generate verified carbon credits.
Built for large-scale operations: row crops, perennials, forestry assets, and pasture systems.
Agricultural operations are under growing pressure.
Input costs rise, climate variability increases, and margins compress. Maintaining productivity over time is no longer guaranteed.
Agribusinesses must increase efficiency, manage risk, and respond to market and regulatory pressure at the same time. Biochar supports all three.
Input costs continue to rise
- Fertilizers
- Soil amendments and lime
- Seeds
- Fuel and energy
Climate variability is increasing
- Longer droughts
- Irregular rainfall and excess water
- Higher volatility in yields and pasture performance
Biochar: A stable, carbon-rich material applied to soil and pasture.
Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material produced by heating biomass under low-oxygen conditions. It is applied to soil or pasture and remains active for many years.
It does not disappear after one production cycle. Biochar functions as long-term soil and land infrastructure, improving how water, nutrients, and biological activity interact.
What biochar does in your land and pastures
Biochar helps to:
- Retain water during dry periods
- Reduce nutrient losses after heavy rain
- Improve fertilizer efficiency
- Stabilize soil structure and reduce degradation
- Improve root-zone conditions in both cropland and pasture
The result is more stable yields, more resilient pasture productivity, and lower input waste — while storing carbon in a durable form.
Two value streams: productivity + resilience, and durable carbon storage.
Productivity and resilience
When integrated strategically, biochar can:
- Increase efficiency of fertilizers and inputs
- Stabilize crop and pasture performance
- Reduce exposure to drought and excess rainfall
- Slow or reverse soil and pasture degradation
These benefits compound across large-scale systems: row crops, perennials, tree plantations, and pasture operations.
Carbon and revenue value
Biochar permanently stores carbon in soils and pastures. When this storage is measured, documented, and verified, it can generate paid carbon credits.
Credits are already in demand in Europe and the United States for carbon removal and supply-chain requirements, creating an additional revenue stream.
Strategy, system design, and MRV that turn biochar into measurable outcomes.

About TehaGreen Sobre TehaGreen Sobre a TehaGreen
TehaGreen is building the infrastructure needed to regenerate degraded agricultural land at scale, while delivering durable carbon removal. We work with land managers to restore soil health, improve water retention, and increase yield stability, using regeneration practices such as biochar that generate measurable agronomic value. By integrating these practices with robust digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV), we enable carbon removals that are credible, traceable, and suitable for carbon markets.
Biochar plays a central role in our approach because its carbon is stable for centuries and can be measured with high confidence, making it one of the most robust forms of carbon removal available today. As demand for high-integrity removals grows, particularly from large technology buyers investing in Latin America, TehaGreen connects regenerative land management with scalable carbon market demand. The company was founded by practitioners who have seen first-hand how land degradation affects farmers and ecosystems, and who believe regeneration must work both on the ground and in the carbon economy.
Our funders
Founded by Nilton Freire Neves Jr (Co-founder & CEO) and Gianfranco Villamonte (Co-founder & CTO), TehaGreen combines deep field experience with strong technical execution. Nilton is a Brazilian engineer raised by farmer parents in the Amazon, with an MBA from Kellogg and an M.S. in Sustainability from Johns Hopkins. He brings 25+ years of global experience as an entrepreneur, Coca-Cola marketing executive, and Deloitte consultant. Gianfranco is a Peruvian biologist trained at Wageningen University, with field experience across the Andes and the Amazon. With 10+ years at the intersection of ecology, data science, and automation, he has built LCA and MRV systems and helped scale land restoration, agroforestry, and carbon solutions across Latin America and Europe.
TehaGreen está construyendo la infraestructura necesaria para regenerar tierras agrícolas degradadas a escala, al mismo tiempo que genera remociones de carbono duraderas. Trabajamos con gestores de tierras para recuperar la salud del suelo, mejorar la retención de agua y aumentar la estabilidad de los rendimientos, utilizando prácticas regenerativas como el biochar, que aportan valor agronómico medible. Al integrar estas prácticas con sistemas sólidos de monitoreo, reporte y verificación (MRV) digital, habilitamos remociones de carbono creíbles, trazables y aptas para los mercados de carbono.
El biochar es un pilar de nuestro enfoque porque su carbono permanece estable durante siglos y puede medirse con alta certeza, lo que lo convierte en una de las formas más robustas de remoción de carbono disponibles hoy. A medida que crece la demanda de remociones de alta integridad —especialmente por parte de grandes empresas tecnológicas que están invirtiendo en América Latina— TehaGreen conecta la regeneración de tierras con una demanda creciente en los mercados de carbono. La empresa nace de la experiencia directa de sus fundadores frente a los impactos de la degradación del suelo sobre la agricultura y la naturaleza.
