Assess and harvest
Understand the lake and its water hyacinth growth, then plan removal and ongoing maintenance with local partners.
OUR APPROACH / A CIRCULAR SOLUTION
A practical, four-step approach connects lake management with the thoughtful use of harvested biomass.

OUR PROCESS
Each lake is different. The process starts with local conditions and continues with careful testing.
Understand the lake and its water hyacinth growth, then plan removal and ongoing maintenance with local partners.
Reduce the moisture in harvested plants and prepare the biomass for processing.
Explore pyrolysis, a process that heats dry biomass with limited oxygen to produce biochar.
Test batches for contaminants and assess appropriate applications. Carbon removal depends on the use, measurement and certification pathway.
THINKING LONG TERM
Water hyacinth can return when underlying conditions persist. Planning for maintenance and measuring changes over time are central to a lasting approach.
