This company utilizes gasification technology to convert agricultural waste biomass into high-density syngas and biochar. The syngas provides a source of clean, reliable energy, while the biochar acts as a soil amendment and carbon sequestration agent. This process transforms agricultural value chains into carbon sinks by managing residues and producing valuable outputs.

Problem
Agribusinesses face costly and environmentally damaging challenges related to the disposal of waste biomass. They also struggle with unreliable and expensive energy sources that contribute to high carbon emissions.
Solution
Poás Bioenergy offers a biomass gasification system that converts agricultural waste into high-energy syngas and biochar, addressing both biomass disposal and carbon-intensive energy challenges. The syngas produced can be used for heat energy or to power generators, providing a clean and reliable energy source. The resulting biochar can be applied to crop soil, acting as a carbon sequestration technology and a fertilizer amendment to improve soil health and crop production. This approach transforms agricultural value chains into carbon sinks.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes agribusinesses seeking solutions for waste biomass handling, reliable and clean energy sources, and carbon sequestration technologies.
