Qarlbo Biodiversity has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Woodland Biofuels to supply up to 500,000 tons of sustainably harvested pine forest thinnings from properties it manages using its Nature+ Forest Management Strategy.

This agreement marks a significant milestone in implementing the Nature+ Strategy, an innovative approach to ecological stewardship that goes beyond traditional forestry methods. Designed for biomass-intensive industries, the strategy ensures a sustainable supply of biomass by combining biodiversity conservation, native species restoration, and responsible forestry production. This integrated approach helps sequester carbon, generate biodiversity credits, and promote resilient, high-performing forest ecosystems.

The pine forest thinnings supplied under this MOU will come from Qarlbo Biodiversity's expanded properties in the U.S. Qarlbo already has an operational project on its 10,580-acre forest property in southern Louisiana, which exemplifies its Nature+ strategy. The wood biomass produced under the agreement comes with certified sustainability and contributes to biodiversity outcomes.

Qarlbo Biodiversity is a global leader in nature-positive forestry investments. 

Through its proprietary biomass waste-to-fuel technology platform, Woodland Biofuels is transforming biomass into ultra-clean, carbon-negative fuels.
