OUR PROCESS

A simple, end-to-end solution.

Each lake is different. The process starts with local conditions and continues with careful testing.

01

Assess and harvest

Understand the lake and its water hyacinth growth, then plan removal and ongoing maintenance with local partners.

02

Dewater and dry

Reduce the moisture in harvested plants and prepare the biomass for processing.

03

Convert to biochar

Explore pyrolysis, a process that heats dry biomass with limited oxygen to produce biochar.

04

Test and use responsibly

Test batches for contaminants and assess appropriate applications. Carbon removal depends on the use, measurement and certification pathway.

THINKING LONG TERM

Restoration is a continuing commitment.

Water hyacinth can return when underlying conditions persist. Planning for maintenance and measuring changes over time are central to a lasting approach.
