Updraft Gasification System

Gasification systems that convert non-recyclable organic waste (bark, sawdust, clean construction/demolition debris, biosolids from sewage sludge) into a product called "syngas" that can be used to fuel heat and power. This novel process has low air emissions and particulate carryover, reducing emissions controls and permits costs. The design is also very simple and has few moving parts. The gasification system can process many challenging renewable waste feedstocks with moisture contents ranging from 6-60% and sizes up to 75 mm.

Catalytic BioForming® Process

The Catalytic BioForming® Process converts aqueous carbohydrate solutions into mixtures of "drop-in" hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbon molecules are derived from renewable feedstocks but are equivalent to those found in petroleum products. These hydrocarbons are scalable because they maintain market acceptance; these molecules can be blended with existing infrastructure to produce premium-quality gasoline, diesel, or jet fuel. Fuels produced from these sustainable hydrocarbons are more energy efficient and have lower life-cycle carbon emissions than crude oil fuels.

Sustainable Water Treatment and Nutritional Recovery Solutions

Transforms waste from water treatment into granular fertilizers. Ostara uses nutrient recovery technologies called Pearl® and WASSTRIP®. This technology transforms recovered nutrients from waste in water treatment processes into granular fertilizers called Crystal Green®. Crystal Green® consists of sustainably recovered phosphorous, nitrogen, and magnesium in one powerful slow-release granule. This fertilizer increases yields with a continuous release and season-long fertilizer supply, prevents soil tie-up for maximized efficiency, and reduces nutrient runoff.

Peptide emPOWERed™ Insecticides

Peptide emPOWERed™ Insecticides are peptide-based biological pesticides from naturally occurring molecules with effective insecticidal properties benign to mammals and vertebrates and not cross-resistant with synthetic insecticides. Biological pesticides are substances that naturally occur in or are inspired by nature, commonly target specific pests, and decompose quickly. The genes that encode for these peptides are inserted into a yeast strain, which undergoes a fermentation process that yields Spear peptide, the active ingredient for the pesticide.

Instinct® II

Supplemental component to fertilizer mixtures that improves their absorption by plants and diminishes environmental hazards by maximizing nitrogen availability in the plants' root zone; consists of aqueous, microcapsule suspensions that are compatible with popular nitrogen fertilizers. Fertilizers are a major cause of air and water pollution. This product retains nitrate-based fertilizers in the plants' root zone, increasing the fertilizers' efficiency and decreasing the fertilizers' leaching into the soil and water.
