Integrated Lignocellulosic Waste Processing

Ricevuto : Sono tutte innovazioni proposte a Team for the Planet attraverso il modulo di presentazione delle innovazioni

Arboreum is an integrated process designed to transform lignocellulosic agricultural waste into high-value products while reducing emissions and waste disposal burdens. Instead of treating crop residues and similar biomass as waste, our system converts them into two primary outputs: usable fibrous pulp and stable biochar. The process combines pulping and thermal conversion in a modular, circular architecture where heat and water are recovered and reused internally to reduce external resource demand. This improves overall efficiency and supports deployment in regions with different climates, feedstock types, and infrastructure constraints. Arboreum is built for practical industrial adoption: phased implementation, multiple product pathways, and licensing-based scalability. By turning one underused waste stream into materials with commercial value, the solution aims to lower landfill/open-burn reliance, support cleaner local manufacturing, and contribute to climate-positive industrial transition. IP has been filed, and the project is now seeking pilot partnerships and grant/funding support to move toward implementation.
