GB Foods’ social impact arm, GBHub Africa, has invested $50,000 in GreenHeart SE, a Ghanaian agritech company that transforms organic biomass waste into carbon-negative agricultural inputs. The investment, structured as a local currency loan with a 5% interest rate in Ghanaian cedis, includes a six-month moratorium and a 60-month repayment period.
This funding will enable GreenHeart SE to expand its biomass recycling capacity from 300 to 1,000 tonnes, helping the company avoid 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions while advancing sustainable agricultural practices.
Beyond financial support, GBHub Africa will provide technical assistance, working closely with GreenHeart SE to design a value creation plan and offer targeted support in key operational areas.
Transforming agriculture with carbon-negative solutions
GreenHeart SE is reshaping agriculture by restoring degraded land and capturing carbon. By processing organic biomass waste, the company produces biochar-based products, including carbon-based fertilizers and bio-pesticides, which enrich soil health and promote sustainable farming.
CEO Caleb Lomo expressed confidence in the partnership: “This support not only strengthens our ability to scale our sustainable innovations but also accelerates our mission to drive climate-smart solutions across industries. With this investment, we are poised for greater impact, expansion, and a future where sustainability and profitability go hand in hand.”
Commenting on the investment, Mr. Nelson Madiba Amo, Executive Director for GBHub Africa, emphasized the deal’s alignment with the organization’s commitment to investing in Africa’s Food Systems to improve livelihoods. Mr. Amo was very hopeful that the investment would lead to a disproportionate growth of GreenHeart, empowering them to aggressively scale their reach and impact with local farmers.
This investment will drive significant strides in the renewable energy sector, setting the stage for future investments and reaffirming GBHub Africa’s position in fostering transformative change within the food systems chain.
