About
Kodama Systems is a Sonora, California-based forest management startup, operating since 2021, that raised around $6.6 million from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Congruent Ventures and others. In partnership with Yale’s Carbon Containment Lab, Kodama is piloting the burial of woody biomass thinned from wildfire-prone forests in the Nevada desert, constructing underground vaults designed to minimize water, oxygen and microbial activity. The company combines forest-thinning automation with biomass burial for durable carbon removal and has sold credits to Stripe/Frontier.
