Kjell Tahon has a broad international experience in socio-economic agricultural projects in Africa and Europe. As the general manager and shareholder of BAMBOOLOGIC, a Dutch company partnered with Hive Energy, he will explore with us whether bamboo can be a rewarding and sustainable alternative for the transitioning European agricultural sector. It may address various ecosystem issues such as carbon sequestration, regenerating degraded land, erosion prevention, retaining water in the soil's top layer, and extracting toxins from the soil.  


"Our goal is to plant thousands of hectares of bamboo in Europe over the next two years and remove about 1,000,000 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere."
