Grassroots Energy works at the cross-section of Energy and Agriculture. Our approach to convert agri and farm waste to Biomethane, Bio-Hydrogen. The ultra low-carbon clean fuels that can be used for cooking, mobility and electricity generation in distributed process. Biomethane and BioHydrogen generation in distributed manner, can provide access to clean energy for diverse end uses and accelerate clean fuel adoption and reduce carbon footprint. The scale-down model of the existing solutions is modular, flexible and energy efficient. Our modular system uses a patent pending rotating contact disc (RCD) mass-exchanger can operate at atmospheric pressure, better efficacy and reduced pressure drop. The proprietary solvent results in 3X solubility for CO2 over water. In addition, Grassroots Energy has designed an absorbed gas cylinder with 3X reduction in storage pressure, the power consumption for compression is reduced, the cylinders can be lighter and easier to transport, the safety requirements are minimized, the total cost of operations is reduced. RCD based solvent upgradation and ANG storage together is 40% less capex and consumes 50% less energy, an industry benchmark for cost, energy efficiency and performance. The residue from operations is processed into organic fertilizers, which sequestrates carbon to improve farm yields. The circular economy model creates greater environmental, economic value for community and businesses. Grassroots Energy has interests from leading utilities for electricity generation, to replace traditional fuels for cooking. Our solution has been identified as an innovative clean solution by Total and Solar Impulse Foundation.
