Bukit Damar I-CARE Project
Bukit Damar I-CARE Project
Located in Bukit Damar, Dengkil, Selangor, this project deploys a modular 40-foot ISO containerized pyrolysis unit, the Ecosfera 1.0 System, to convert urban green waste from the Sepang district into biochar.
Feedstock capacity: 5 tonnes/day
Biochar output: 1 tonne/day
Renewable energy generation: 50 kW
Estimated carbon removal: ~600 tCO₂e/year
Putrajaya I-CARE Project
Putrajaya I-CARE Project
Located in Presint 13, Putrajaya, this project scales up the upgraded version of Ecosfera System to process higher volumes of urban green waste into biochar.
Feedstock capacity: 20 tonnes/day
Biochar output: 5 tonnes/day
Renewable energy generation: 100 kW
Estimated carbon removal: ~2,400 tCO₂e/year

Projects Highlights
Projects Highlights
The project adopts a decentralised, on-site waste-to-value approach, delivering significant cost savings and emissions reductions in logistics by treating biomass directly at its source. This approach also minimises the need for complex waste sorting while improving overall system efficiency.
The system utilises cleaner thermochemical technologies such as pyrolysis and gasification, offering a controlled alternative to incineration. Operating in a closed-loop configuration, it ensures minimal environmental impact while maximising resource recovery.
To enable continuous and self-sustaining operations, the system integrates a Stirling engine, gasification power modules, and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This allows for the generation and storage of off-grid renewable electricity, while waste heat and high-temperature flue gases are recovered and reused for feedstock drying, further enhancing energy efficiency and reducing reliance on external inputs.
The project is registered under the Puro.Earth biochar carbon removal standard and has successfully passed the Preliminary Assessment. It is designed to deliver transparent, quantifiable, and permanent carbon removals, supported by a rigorous MRV framework, leveraging a German-based digital MRV (dMRV) provider, Cula Tech, for enhanced data transparency and verification.
The project is supported by a carbon credit offtake agreement with PETCO for up to 10,000 CORCs per year through 2031, with a firm commitment to deliver 1,000 CORCs in 2026–2027.
Tigasfera Cold Mix Asphalt filled with Biochar in Bukit Damar
Tigasfera Cold Mix Asphalt filled with Biochar in Bukit Damar
Bukit Damar is a village on the edge of rapid urban growth, surrounded by Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Cyberjaya South, and Gamuda Cove. Despite its strategic location, the community faces a stark development gap and long-standing issues with illegal waste dumping.
Through the Bukit Damar Sustainable Community program, Tigasfera Greentech and its partners are working with local communities to tackle these challenges — focusing on waste recovery and recycling, infrastructure improvements, and community farming. As part of this effort, Tigasfera introduced Cold Mix Asphalt infused with Biochar to repair village roads, demonstrating an innovative, sustainable approach to infrastructure rehabilitation.
The success of this initiative positions Bukit Damar as a model for revitalising underserved communities and can be replicated in other areas facing similar challenges.
River Care Program - Air Selangor
River Care Program - Air Selangor
Frequent pollution of Sungai Langat threatens the water security of over two million people in Southern Selangor and Putrajaya. Rampant waste dumping and open burning along the river reserves continue to pollute both water and air.
In response, riverside communities, agencies such as Air Selangor and LUAS, together with Tigasfera Greentech are working collaboratively to restore and protect the river ecosystem. Through targeted clean-up initiatives, along with material recovery and the planting of energy crops such as bamboo, these efforts help combat illegal dumping, reduce pollution, prevent erosion, and create a sustainable biomass feedstock for renewable energy.
Tigasfera Greentech provides the technology, expertise, and infrastructure to convert recovered waste and biomass into electricity and biochar fertilizer — strengthening both energy and food security. Our “Buy-Back Program” enables local communities to earn income from supplying biomass feedstock while transforming river reserves into high-density carbon storage areas that generate carbon credits.
This pioneering model serves as a blueprint for rivers across Malaysia and beyond, ensuring water, food, and energy security for generations to come.
