Investancia is a leading agro-research company, a pioneer within Pongamia research, development and tree propagation management. Our elite tree propagation and R&D center located in Carmelo Peralta, Alto Paraguay, already represents the world’s largest dedicated elite Pongamia tree production site with an annual production capacity of 1 million trees. We are passionate about reforestation and restoration of forest ecosystems and biodiversity. Our Pongamia trees are used to reforest land areas in the Paraguayan Chaco which were deforested more than 10 years ago. Our VCS-CCBS verified reforestation programs are implemented on cattle land in silvopastures mode; combining trees and grazing livestock while creating additional green reserves of native vegetation. Apart from sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide, Pongamia also contributes with a non-food land crop (Pongamia pods). Its non-edible beans are harvested and crushed to extract Pongamia crude oil - a low ILUC biofeedstock with a very low CI (carbon intensity), and bioprotein from the seedcake leftovers of the pressing. Pongamia crude oil is sold to HVO and Sustainable Aviation Fuel refiners worldwide, who are looking to source low CI feedstocks to achieve the highest GHG emission reduction possible in the HVO fuels.
