KG Biomass Ltd · Kumasi, Ghana

Sustainable biomass, from land to market.

We restore degraded land, grow bamboo alongside food crops, and supply renewable biomass and forest products from Ghana's Ashanti Region.

Contact usWhat we do

KG Biomass Ltd is the biomass and agroforestry company of the Kwamoka Group, based in Kumasi. We develop and supply renewable biomass, drive large-scale restoration of degraded land, and process bamboo chips and rough-sawn teak squares.

Delivering integrated solutions that power industries while restoring ecosystems, we are establishing a strong presence in the renewable energy sector and driving sustainable action to mitigate the impact of climate change.

About us

Degraded forest land: cassava growing among dead standing trees beside a red laterite track

It starts with degraded land.

KG Biomass leases degraded forest reserves from the Forestry Commission for reforestation. We are currently developing about 385 hectares of degraded land with bamboo and multiple species, for forest restoration and carbon sequestration.

Under development now
385 hectares
Target, 2027 to 2029
20,000 hectares

Our target is to embark on the reforestation of 20,000 hectares of degraded land between 2027 and 2029.

Our projects

From degraded land to bamboo chips

At Kwamang-Jeduako in the Ashanti Region, bamboo is intercropped with maize and cassava and processed directly at source. The model, in five stages:

  1. Degraded land

    We lease degraded forest reserve land from the Forestry Commission for reforestation.

  2. Bamboo planted

    Bamboo and other species go into the ground. Our own nursery raises high-quality bamboo seedlings for farmers, commercial growers and restoration projects.

  3. Maize and cassava between the rows

    Bamboo is intercropped with food crops, supporting farmer livelihoods while it generates renewable biomass.

  4. Bamboo established

    The bamboo restores the land: it reduces erosion, improves soil health and biodiversity, and sequesters carbon.

  5. Chipped at source

    Culms are processed on site into bamboo chips, which keeps quality consistent and reduces transport emissions.

How our agroforestry model worksA cross-section diagram, not to scale. Degraded, eroded ground is planted with bamboo. Maize and cassava grow between the bamboo rows. The established bamboo holds the soil with its roots, and mature culms are cut and chipped on site.Degraded landBamboo seedlingMaizeCassavaBambooRoots bind the soilBamboo chips

Biomass aggregation and supply

We aggregate biomass from our own plantations and partner growers to ensure consistent quality, dependable volumes and reliable delivery.

At KG Biomass Ltd, we understand that sourcing quality biomass can be time-consuming and challenging. We eliminate this burden by dealing with multiple suppliers, ensuring a steady and efficient flow of biomass for our customers, so that they can focus on building their own market for green energy rather than worrying about biomass availability.

Processing and manufacturing

We add value to biomass through efficient, integrated processing and manufacturing.

Bamboo chips

Bamboo grown within our agroforestry operation is processed on site into bamboo chips, which keeps quality under our control and reduces the impact of transport.

Rough-sawn teak squares for export

KG Biomass produces rough-sawn teak squares for export from responsibly managed sources, for commercial and industrial applications. Our processing focuses on consistent dimensions, reliable quality and efficient preparation for international shipment, meeting the requirements of commercial and industrial buyers across global markets.

Carbon credit

Our Degraded Lands Reforestation Project plays a key role in our carbon credit strategy. By reforesting degraded land, we are effectively sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, a process that results in the generation of carbon credits. In fact, since the project's inception, we have been able to produce a substantial amount of carbon credits, contributing significantly to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Carbon credit

Development support

The project has secured development support through technical assistance programmes and cooperation agreements with:

  • Kwamoka Energy
  • K.T.I.
  • INBAR, the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation
  • Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources
