Chulalongkorn University converts Saraburi farmland to carbon-sequestering teak forest

Chulalongkorn University transformed degraded farmland in Saraburi into a teak forest. This forest, which began with 1,100 teak trees in 2013, now stores 316.707 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. The university registered a related forest project under T-VER, a program that certifies greenhouse gas reductions for tradable carbon credits.

The project combines land restoration with climate education. By registering the forest under T-VER, the university has created a mechanism for generating tradable carbon credits. This supports the integration of environmental projects into carbon markets.
