Sargassum and green waste in landfills contribute to pollution, methane and CO₂ emissions, and environmental harm as they rot. Upcycling is the solution, and we do it by transforming waste into biochar, nutrient-rich compost, and electricity through sustainable processes. Our World Needs Sustainable Solutions Sargassum and green waste in landfills contribute to pollution, methane and CO₂ emissions, and environmental harm as they rot. Upcycling is the solution, and we do it by transforming waste into biochar , nutrient-rich compost , and electricity through sustainable processes. Carbon Removal Solution A: Biochar At our upcycling facility, we produce biochar, a carbon-rich material created through an eco-friendly pyrolysis process. This technology transforms difficult-to-process waste, such as palm fronds, storm debris, and invasive species, into a powerful soil enhancer. By adding biochar to the soil, we improve fertility, water retention, and reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions. It also provides a habitat for microorganisms that consume these harmful gases, making it an effective solution to mitigate climate change. For companies aiming to meet net-zero targets, biochar is an excellent way to offset carbon emissions. Research shows that biochar carbon removal is one of the safest and most permanent methods available. By purchasing our biochar carbon credits, companies can directly support carbon sequestration and make measurable progress toward their sustainability goals. Our approach benefits small farmers, orchards, plantations, and rural communities by ensuring carbon stays in the soil, where it has the greatest impact. Additionally, our processes are third-party certified and audited by the Gold Standard, ensuring transparency, sustainability, and real environmental impact. Carbon Removal Solution B: Compost At our upcycling facility, we transform sargassum into nutrient-rich compost using advanced windrow techniques. By blending collected sargassum with shredded materials and aerating the mixture daily with turners, we accelerate decomposition. Throughout the process, we incorporate biochar and a proprietary microbial formula that neutralizes harmful heavy metals, including arsenic, ensuring a safe, high-quality end product suitable for both agriculture and livestock feed. With the sargassum crisis intensifying year after year, our solution has the potential to scale up to 1 million tons annually across the Caribbean and Latin America. This would sequester 1 million tons of CO2—comparable to removing the emissions from over 200,000 cars on the road for an entire year, helping to reduce methane emissions and make a substantial contribution to combating climate change.

- FAQ | Grogenics
Explore our FAQ for insights on our innovative projects, environmental impact, and how we’re making a difference. What is the main environmental issue our project addresses? Sargassum blooms are a growing environmental challenge, smothering coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds by blocking sunlight, while entangling marine life and disrupting nesting sites for sea turtles and seabirds. Over the past decade, these blooms have increased by 600%, with over 1.3 million tons washing ashore in 2021 alone, affecting ecosystems and the livelihoods of 300,000 people in the Caribbean. At the same time, organic green waste like palm fronds and yard debris makes up 33% of global landfill waste, releasing methane—a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than CO2—during decomposition. Together, these challenges demand urgent, sustainable solutions to protect ecosystems and combat climate change. What is the total environmental benefit our solution could have if fully scaled? Fully scaling our solution could upcycle 500k tons of sargassum and green waste annually across the Caribbean and Latin America. This would prevent significant methane emissions, sequester 1 million tons of CO₂ equivalent, and enhance soil health to support food security. By turning waste into biochar and compost, we provide a scalable, sustainable model that mitigates climate change, supports ecosystems, and strengthens coastal communities globally. What makes our biological formula the key to safe, sustainable waste solutions? Our biological formula, powered by Effective Microorganisms (EM), represents a breakthrough in waste management. This advanced solution is specifically engineered to target and neutralize harmful heavy metals—such as arsenic, lead, and mercury—often present in sargassum and other organic waste. By improving the efficiency of composting and upcycling processes, we effectively address the hidden danger of toxic metals, setting us apart as leaders in sustainable, eco-friendly technologies. In addition, our formula mitigates the risk of heavy metal contamination, playing a critical role in restoring coastal ecosystems and safeguarding local communities' livelihoods. The end products—biochar and compost—are safe for agricultural use, helping to promote food security, enhance soil health, and drive economic stability for vulnerable populations. How does our carbon credits ensure transparency and real impact? Our carbon credits are certified by the Gold Standard, an independent accreditation known for its rigorous safeguards and best-in-class sustainable development measures. Gold Standard ensures that every project not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to at least three of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. In fact, our projects support five of these goals, creating measurable benefits for both the environment and local communities. By choosing Gold Standard, we guarantee that our credits drive meaningful, transparent impact, giving our purchasers confidence in the positive changes they help support. How do I purchase Grogenics' carbon credits, and what happens next? Your purchase of Grogenics’ carbon credits does more than offset emissions—it drives meaningful change.
