We don’t have a Sustainability Problem

We have a Resource Management Problem

OWMS copies Nature – recovering more Energy, from Waste, by combining Insect BioConversion & ThermoChemical Conversion, in IP-Protected Carbon Negative process

Lower Impact Processes

Lower GHG emissions
Carbon-Negative process
No residuals

Higher Energy Recovery & Decarbonisation

Nutrients converted into Valuable Products – income or product replacement (offsetting)
Direct Energy – BioOils/Green Hydrogen
Carbon Sequestration - Bio-Char

Combining Proven Technology in an IP-Protected, Carbon-Negative System

OWMS combines the benefits of BSF BioConversion and ThermoChemical Conversion in a proven, Carbon-Negative solution for hard-to-manage organic waste.

How do we measure up to alternative solutions?

Lower Impact Processes

Lower emissions
No residuals

Higher Energy Recovery & Decarbonisation

Nutrients converted into Valuable Products – income or product replacement (offsetting)
Carbon Sequestration (Bio-Char)

OWMS IP is based on a Process and is not Technology Specific – allowing us to deploy the best commercial sub-systems

Technologically Agnostic:

Because our IP is built around a process, OWMS deploys the best available Technologies in each market.
We believe it not only provides the most appropriate technology for local conditions – but, also shortens our supply chains, and helps build local economies.
UK: Together with InnovateUK EDGE, we have engaged with UK Technology Companies that have received Government Support, and now operate commercially.
KSA: Working with KAUST, OWMS has engaged with Emerging Markets technology providers, to create accessible technology.

Our Key Technologies work together to turn hard-to-manage Waste Streams into new Income Streams

BioMass Recovery

Organic wastes differs in composition and levels of non-organic pollutants.

Our BioMass Recovery technology delivers a consistent feedstock to the BSF larvae:

Predictable BioConversion
Sterile
Homogenous
Moisture Controlled

Black Soldier Fly BioConversion

BSF Larvae BioConvert nutrients in waste into recoverable resources, and makes waste easier, and safer, to work with:

Organic Protein
Valuable Resources
Reduces Volume
Reduces Odor
Eliminates Zoonotic Bacteria

ThermoChemical Conversion

Remaining BioMass is Thermochemically Converted into BioOils (further upcycling to Green Hydrogen) and Bio-Char

Sustainable Energy
Carbon Sequestration
No Residuals
