PROBLEM
Agrarian societies worldwide generate vast amounts of agricultural residue every year, most of which is either burnt or used in low-value applications with minimal commercial returns. This practice exacerbates the environmental degradation problem and also has poor economic returns.
Similarly, biorefineries, such as non-food-based bioethanol production units, struggle with high production costs that often exceed regulated selling prices of their products, making it infeasible for these industries to achieve economic viability.
OPPORTUNITY
We maximize resource utilization by leveraging highly efficient, zero-waste biotech processes that convert any biomass into sustainable alternate materials, all under one roof.
SOLUTION
At altM, we have reimagined the traditional biorefinery by transforming a range of lignocellulosic residues — including agricultural residues, industrial bio-residues, and grasses — into high-value chemicals and biomaterials. Our scalable, low-severity thermochemical process fully utilizes all primary components of biomass.
By moving beyond wood-based feedstocks and fermentation-based production, our process serves multiple industries, turning what was once waste into valuable products. Read more about our technology here.
