Our Vision
Waste Can Heal the Planet. That’s it.
Humankind Biomass Systems was founded to rethink and redefine the concept of waste. We develop revolutionary and scalable biomass solutions that have the potential to transform our material resource system—solutions that can play a vital role in our global transition to a future based on renewable energy, regenerative agriculture, and a circular economy. In fact, we envision a future where waste does not exist at all.
The Challenge
A Dead-End Approach
Over the next decade, humans will produce and use a staggering one trillion tons of material—a rate that is simply unsustainable. In fact, the materials and products humans choose to produce and consume over the next several decades will determine our future and the condition of our planet. Over 91% of the products we currently produce are not re-used. And the materials we do produce in large quantities are often not used productively or are misused. The good news? There is a much better way.
The Opportunity
Stop Burning Through Resources
One of the primary solutions is to use abundant waste sources, such as agriculture crop waste, animal waste, and organic municipal waste to produce products of value. Agriculture waste production (crop and animal waste) alone is projected to reach more than 12 billion tons per year by 2030. Unfortunately, agriculture crop waste is often burned, resulting in adverse environmental and human health impacts, and animal waste disposal can be highly destructive to the environment.
Our Solutions
Waste to Power Planetary Health
Humankind Biomass Systems provides solutions that transform various waste streams into sustainably produced and commercially valuable products. Specifically, we deliver comprehensive programs and production facilities that transform waste into renewable energy and soil amendment products.
One example is our revolutionary use of anaerobic digestion, an efficient process through which bacteria breaks down organic matter—agricultural waste, animal manure, food waste, etc.—in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic digestion is not a new idea, but our proprietary technology and processes harness the power of anaerobic digestion in a unique way, producing an array of valuable products that not only benefit our air, soil, and water but also have a significant impact on human health and wellbeing.
Capabilities
Our team has designed, delivered and operated over 40 anaerobic digestion plants in 15 countries around the world. We provide highly-customized waste solutions for specific needs.
Technology
Our anaerobic digestion technologies convert agricultural and other waste sources into clean, renewable energy and soil amendment products and solutions.
Team
We have built a world-class team capable of providing industry-leading waste systems and a comprehensive suite of services to meet the needs of our partners and clients.
