Land Stored Carbon

Paulownia, the fastest-growing hardwood tree, offers significant environmental benefits. It efficiently absorbs CO2, enhances soil fertility, prevents erosion, and retains moisture. With a lifespan of 60–100 years and rapid regrowth after harvesting, it is a highly sustainable resource. Paulownia-derived products help meet the rising demand for biobased, CO2-positive building materials, supporting net-zero goals and the European Green Deal.
