Naki V
Naki provides an on-site, end-to-end solution that converts untreatable food industry sludge into valuable raw materials using a carbon-negative process. This technology enables factories to produce biogas and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) feedstock directly from their waste streams. The result is reduced emissions, minimized landfill use, and the creation of new revenue opportunities for industrial clients.

Problem
Food processing plants generate large volumes of sludge that are difficult and costly to treat, often ending up in landfills. This waste stream represents a missed opportunity for resource recovery and contributes to environmental problems.
Solution
Naki provides a carbon-negative process that converts untreatable sludge from food processing into valuable feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and biogas. By deploying this technology on-site at food processing plants, Naki enables these facilities to decarbonize their operations, generate additional revenue streams, and significantly reduce waste disposal costs. The process creates a localized circular economy by reducing reliance on imported SAF feedstock and minimizing landfill waste. The resulting feedstock, termed MIDA material, offers specifications similar to high FFA UCO and is compliant with ISCC and waste approval standards.
Target Audience
The primary customers are food processing plants seeking to reduce waste disposal costs, decarbonize operations, and generate new revenue streams from waste byproducts.
