Where it's used
Agrivoltaics with biological integration
Combining solar generation with agricultural activity on the same land — a stack from site assessment to dual-value harvest.
Bio-cementation & MICP materials
Microbes and mineral carbonation bind aggregate into cement at room temperature — replacing the 1,500-degree kiln that makes Portland cement responsible for roughly 8% of global CO2 — turning concrete into a carbon-negative climate asset sold as tiles, self-healing structures and CO2-derived aggregates.
Biochar carbon removal
Pyrolysing biomass into stable biochar — or fast-pyrolysis bio-oil injected underground — turns atmospheric carbon into a durable, monetisable climate asset, with soil-amendment value and certified carbon-removal credits as the twin revenue streams.
Biochar pyrolysis equipment & process
The reactor and balance-of-plant hardware that carbonises biomass into biochar plus heat and power — modular continuous carbonisers, biomass-cogeneration-coupled pyrolysis, and batch or mobile units — supplied by specialist manufacturers whose equipment is what makes certified biochar carbon removal physically possible.
Biological carbon capture & utilization (bio-CCU: gas fermentation, CO2-to-protein, e-fuels)
Turning captured CO2 into fuels, proteins, polymers and methanol via microbial gas fermentation, engineered microbes and algae — a carbon-utilization value chain from industrial emissions to circular carbon products.
Engineered photosynthesis and artificial chloroplasts
Rewiring natural photosynthesis — enhanced-photosynthesis trees, C4 rice, and new-to-nature CO2-fixation cycles — alongside artificial chloroplasts and bionic leaves that turn sunlight and CO2 into biomass, fuels and biofertilizer.
Hydrogen fuel from biomass
Thermochemical and biological routes that convert biomass and biomethane into hydrogen — gasification followed by water-gas shift and PSA, bio-SMR of biomethane, and dark-fermentation R&D — anchored by gasification licensors, solid-oxide reformers and energy majors.
Power-to-X with biological step
Microbial electrosynthesis and power-to-methane: renewable electricity and CO2 fed to electroactive microbes at a cathode that fix CO2 via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway into acetate, alcohols, biomethane and single-cell protein.
