The triple constraint

🏗️ Process

Emissions: Incompressible clinker chemistry demands alternative carbon pathways.

⚡ Fuel Cost Volatility: 

High thermal energy dependence creates exposure to fossil fuel markets.

🌍 Territorial Integrity: 

Solutions must deliver rural development, soil regeneration, and align with national climate policy.

Our framework is engineered to solve this trilemma.

OUR DE-RISKING BLUEPRINT – The Phased Pathway

A Phased, De-risked Trajectory to Industrial Scale

Our framework breaks down complexity into validated steps, thus reducing technical and investment risks at each stage.

Phase 1: Territorial Bioenergy Pilot 
| De-risks: Biomass logistics & tech performance.

Objective: To validate biomass logistics, technological performance, and biochar quality under real-world conditions in Colombia.
Risk reduction outcome: Empirical data for scaling-up decisions.

Phase 2: Industrial Fuel Integration 
| De-risks: Operational & economic model at scale.

Objective: Partial replacement of fossil fuels in cement production.
Risk reduction outcome: Proven operational and economic model at industrial scale.

Phase 3: Regional Biochar Complex 
| De-risks: Revenue diversification & circular resilience.

Objective: To create a regional hub offering carbon solutions for agriculture and infrastructure.
Outcome in terms of risk reduction: Diversification of revenue streams and industrial resilience.

Execution Anchored in Assets, Not Promises

  • Institutional Mandate: Direct working relationship with the Ministry of Agriculture, aligning with Colombia’s Strategy 2050.

  • Social License & Logistics: Operational integration with “Destino de Paz” community networks, ensuring pre-structured biomass offtake.

  • Technology Validation: R&D partnership with BEST (Austria) for pilot-scale qualification.

  • Pre-Structured Pipeline: 12+ LOIs from municipalities in Tolima (Chaparral, Planadas) securing biomass supply.

  • Financial Architecture: MRV frameworks designed for voluntary carbon markets (VERRA) and future compliance markets.

Our role: territorial architect and interface

Technical Integration: From Biomass to Circular Value

Our engineered pathway transforms agricultural residues into low-carbon cement production and verifiable carbon assets—creating a closed-loop industrial ecosystem.

🌾
1

Biomass Supply

Agricultural residues sourced from certified rural networks (coffee, rice, palm).

⚙️
2

Pretreatment

Drying, grinding & torrefaction to stabilize biomass for thermochemical conversion.

🔥
3

Conversion

Optimized pyrolysis & gasification producing biochar and clean syngas.

🏭
4

Cement Integration

Syngas replaces fossil fuels in precalciner/preheater; raw material drying.

⚡
5

Energy Recovery

Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) systems generate electricity via ORC/steam cycles.

↻ CLOSED-LOOP RETURN
Biochar returns to soil and infrastructure, completing the circular economy
🌱
6

Biochar Application

Soil Regeneration
Long-term carbon sequestration + soil fertility
Agriculture
Reduced fertilizer & water requirements
Infrastructure
Road stabilization & construction materials

🔬 Technical Highlights

Process Integration
Syngas co-firing reduces fossil fuel consumption by 30–50% in cement kiln.
Carbon Value
Biochar enables durable carbon removal (CDR) credits + soil enhancement.
WHR Efficiency
ORC systems convert waste heat into on-site electricity.
MRV Ready
Integrated measurement, reporting & verification for carbon/ESG.
