Benefits
- INEXPENSIVE FUEL
For car owners, we have an inexpensive solution. You can now halve the fuel bill on your current car using our renewable Bio-CNG made from cheap, locally sourced waste products like Rum distillery wastewater, Blackbelly sheep manure, and Sargassum seaweed.
- CLEAN ENERGY
Over the lifetime of this solution, 103,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions will be removed every year from the atmosphere by cars in Barbados driving on sargassum Bio-CNG instead of gasoline.
- WASTE TO ENERGY
We co-digest three key waste materials: Sargassum seaweed, rum distillery wastewater, and manure from the Barbados blackbelly sheep. Energy produced by combining these icons of Barbados converts inexpensive waste streams to useful, inexpensive, sustainable energy.
- SARGASSUM-FREE BEACHES
We remove sargassum from deep water areas of the Barbados EEZ at road-traffic scale, before it beaches. This prevents the buildup of sargassum seaweed on the beaches. Rotting Sargassum seaweed on coastlines cost $120M USD in beach restoration costs throughout the Caribbean in 2018 (Nation News July 30, 2019 – Learn More). This number does not include the economic effect of hotel closures and occupancy drops because of sargassum which also has regional economic implications.
