The Autonomy roadmap
A decentralized, mobile approach to carbon removal — bringing the technology to the biomass, not the biomass to a factory.
Decentralized by design
Our technology approach is deliberately tech-agnostic: we select proven, robust pyrolysis systems suited to Namibian conditions rather than betting on a single proprietary machine.
Our “Autonomy” roadmap focuses on decentralized, mobile deployment—bringing the technology to the biomass, rather than transporting biomass to a factory. Field units leverage autosteer and sensor-guided operations, with a pathway toward increasingly autonomous harvesting and processing systems.
Pilot plan
Our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) deployment.
Location
Hardap, Namibia
Timeline
Pilot Q3 2026
Capacity
3,000 tCO₂e / year
FOAK financing ask
$1.5M – $2M
Operational model
Feedstock sourcing
Encroacher bush harvested sustainably with local SMEs, opening rangeland while supplying consistent biomass.
Mobile pyrolysis basics
Field-deployable pyrolysis units convert biomass to biochar on-site, fixing carbon into a stable form near the source.
Logistics & partnerships
Short-haul logistics, local operator partnerships and offtake agreements keep costs low and impact local.
