Wood Waste Utilization
New uses. New products. Capturing opportunities.
Too much wood waste. Not enough uses for it. Costly to get rid of it. We fix that by building new wood waste use networks in your community and region.
Most are not tapping into all the wood waste reuse opportunities in their community. We identify these opportunities and end-user targets. Then we help launch new projects and build a wood waste use/sales pipeline. We’ll be hands-on if needed to make it happen. Focusing on practical, science-backed applications that make operational, financial, and environmental sense for all parties. Projects/programs that work for your situation.
Our success is based on the fact we know wood waste, use it in our projects, and work with parties across the entire wood waste cycle – source, production and use. We bring this experience, knowledge, and a unique skill set (technical, business, startup) to everything we do. This is our superpower in expanding wood waste use/sales networks.
If you’re looking to expand wood waste reuse, we can develop/execute a program for your community and region.
Biochar
Capturing sales. Building use/sales pipelines
This is a specialized extension of what we do in wood waste utilization. We build biochar use/sales networks.
Capturing biochar sales and building a sales pipeline has unique challenges. End-users, solution providers, project funders, etc. get uneasy because:
- Biochar isn’t widely recognized as a proven, low risk, accepted application.
- Biochar project outcomes vary greatly depending on biomass, production, and deployment. It can be tricky, and details make a difference.
- There are a lot of biochar misconceptions and misinformation.
New solutions require a different business development approach
We know how to overcome these challenges.
Our success is based on the fact we know biochar. It’s practical uses that buyers will pay for. We use it in our conservation projects. We work with all parties throughout the conservation space and biochar cycle (source, production and use). We bring this experience, knowledge, and a unique skill set (technical, business, startup) to everything we do. This is our superpower in growing biochar use/sales networks.
If you’re an established biochar producer, startup, or considering spinning up an operation, we can help with sales/business development.
Water Quality
Removing pollutants from runoff/impaired waters
We design and deploy land and water-based projects removing water pollutants. We know soil, hydrology, topography, pollutant removal science, and other key details that make a difference. Our solutions work and use a lot of wood waste.
We do site assessments, design, project management, water testing, and use local contractors for the build.
Solutions include:
- Structural BMPs – Bioreactors, saturated buffers, constructed wetlands
- Non-structural solutions in infiltration|retention basins, green infrastructure, and impaired waters.
Properly designed/deployed water filtration solutions will:
- Remove an average of 50%-65% nitrate over 10+ years.
- Capture large amounts of suspended phosphorus.
- Reduce bacteria and heavy metals if biochar is used.
- Reuse hundreds of tons of wood waste and other waste material.
Properly deploy biochar in basins, ponds, wetlands, lakes, tanks, and it will:
- Immediately reduce nitrate levels and keep denitrifying.
- Reduce/eliminate algae and prevent its return.
- Improve water clarity.
