Converting invasive aquatic biomass into renewable natural gas (RNG) and biofuels
A pioneering clean energy company harnessing proprietary biorefinery technology to convert invasive aquatic biomass waste into renewable natural gas (RNG) and biofuels. By capturing methane emissions and utilizing CO₂, it advances a global carbon-negative model while restoring ecosystems and creating valuable circular economy byproducts.
TECHNOLOGY / INNOVATION
AFI’s biorefinery system uses exclusive licensed European technology to liquefy and enhance the biofuel yield from invasive aquatic biomass like water hyacinth and hydrilla. The process converts harvested biomass into RNG, liquefied CO₂ for industrial use, and compost, creating a negative carbon intensity (CI) fuel. This methane avoidance model uniquely taps into one of the largest unaddressed sources of methane emissions — lakes and wetlands — transforming a global environmental challenge into a profitable clean energy solution.
UNIQUE SELLING POINT
AFI offers a globally scalable methane avoidance and carbon-negative biofuel platform by targeting invasive aquatic biomass, an abundant and underutilized feedstock. Its approach simultaneously generates high-value RNG, CO₂ for industrial displacement, and compost, while improving waterway health and ecosystem services — a compelling model that outperforms conventional renewables on carbon intensity.
