As of January 2026, NetZero has 4 commercially operating sites in Brazil – 3 fully owned and 1 under its NetZero One franchise model.
These 4 sites use coffee husk as a feedstock, supplied by local farmers that are also the main offtakers of the resulting biochar, helping them increase yields and improve soil health.
A 5th commercial facility is under construction, with start of operation scheduled for Q2 2026. It will be the first site to use NetZero's Gen2 production technology, as well as the first one to process sugarcane biomass (bagasse and trashes).
NetZero also operates in Brazil a industrial-scale site exclusively dedicated to research and development.
NetZero's first full-scale pilot site was built in Cameroon in 2021-2022, with a maximum capacity of 2,000 tonnes of biochar output per year.
It is Africa's first industrial-scale biochar production facility and the world's first industrial site to have processed coffee husk as a feedstock for biochar production.
From 2026 onwards, NetZero plans to significantly increase its production capacity, widen the range of biomasses used, and spread its NetZero One franchise model.
All new sites will use NetZero's Gen2 technology for greater efficiency, reliability, modularity, and scalability.
New geographies will gradually be added, focusing on tropcial countries along NetZero's scaling strategy.
