nature based solutions will play a crucial role in helping to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere

projects overview
beccs, which stands for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, is a geo-engineering process that, in addition to being an alternative for fossil fuel energy, removes CO₂ from the atmosphere.
beccs begins with the cultivation of biomass, such as plants, trees, and crops.
this biomass is used as a source of renewable energy through processes like combustion or gasification to produce electricity, heat, or other forms of energy.
sustainable biomass waste: crop waste burning for example, is a common and accepted practice in some parts of the world, particularly in regions where mechanized harvesting and waste disposal options are limited. this can have huge negative environmental consequences, such as air pollution and the release of greenhouse gases.
embracing nature based cdr solutions is going to play a vital role in the climate battle. our company will focus on high-quality, robust opportunities, based on decades of experience. below we list a few projects we have available.

project 4: green hydrogen
teaser
it seems the world has finally taken notice, and real impactable change is coming. removing CO₂ and helping companies offset their carbon emissions, is what our company focuses on, but there needs to be an real economic value to each project if a substantial amount of capital is going to be mobilised. there will be forward buyers of verifiable carbon credits, but will that be enough to fund the vast amount of projects seeking investment. only time will tell.
our company witnessed first hand what happened to the renewables sector, when inflation hit hard and governments raised taxes and removed subsidies. for the cdr sector to gain real momentum, it will need help from the same guys that have funded renewables for the past decade. the numbers must work, it must be viable and risks must be properly mitigated.
below we highlight a few examples how bioenergy can play a vital role in permanently removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.
commercially viable?
biomass & bioenergy
produced by fermenting sugars or starches from crops like corn, sugarcane, or other feedstocks. It is commonly blended with gasoline to reduce emissions.
bioethanol
made from vegetable oils, animal fats, recycled cooking oil, and biomass, it can be used in diesel engines and is often blended
with traditional diesel fuels.
biodiesel
it´s important to note that the primary purpose of beccs is to capture, remove or store CO₂. the use of biomass as an energy source is considered renewable, as long as it is managed sustainably.
the sustainability of beccs depends on responsible biomass production to avoid deforestation and land-use conflicts. it is essential to ensure that biomass is sourced and managed in an environmentally friendly manner.
in many instances we will look to take full advantage of all the benefits of sustainable waste biomass offers. producing biofuels for example is not only extremley profitable and also helps reduce carbon emissions, it produces byproducts, such as biochar and biobitumen, which is a carbon sink and secures long term prospects to local communities.
bioenergy is energy derived from organic materials, specifically biomass:
sugar cane trash, orchard pruning residue (olives, almonds, walnuts, cashews) wood chip residue and incinerated field residue (rice and wheat straw) can be used.
dedicated energy crops, such as switchgrass or miscanthus and micro-algae can also be grown specifically for bioenergy production.
generated through the anaerobic digestion of organic matter, such as agricultural residues, sewage, or food waste. it consists of methane and carbon dioxide and can be used for heating, electricity generation, or as a vehicle fuel.
biogas
revenue generating: our client is seeking growth capital (equity). commercially viable and proven.
biobitumen: feedstock - cashew nut shells.
permanent CO₂ sink.
CO₂ offsets: stores more than 1.516 kg CO₂ per 1 ton of bitumen.
investment amount: private (nda)
biobitumen e.u : operating
this is an acquisition with multiple revenue streams.
CO₂ removal & reduction: scope to scale up globally.
biofuels: feedstock - wood chips.
bi-product: biobitumen - permanent CO₂ sink.
CO₂ offsets: 1.8 t CO₂ per ton of bio bitumen.
investment amount: $16-300mln
biofuels e.u : acquisition
how a company treats its employees, suppliers, and customers. fair wages, non-discrimination, and product safety are important components.
business ethics
acting with integrity and adhering to ethical principles, including fair labor practices, honest marketing, and responsible sourcing of materials.
ethical practices
transparent about their actions and report on their social and environmental performance.
transparency and accountability
companies that engage in csr will reduce their environmental footprint for the long term.
