Our composites, research, and development
Our composites research is our primary revenue vertical and one our will scale to a large family of environmentally sound products and solutions for the composite industry. Over the past 10 years, innovation has been our focus. We use NileFiber™ as a scalable feedstock that can address composite companies with an applicable alternative capable of addressing today's environmental and carbon neutral/negative concerns. We see a clear path and consumer need for environmentally sound product options.
Below are some of the results from our work. Our results are convincing and we continue to make advancements in HDF, MDF, and OSB, and Particleboard categories. ANSI data is applicable where possible.

Our NileFiber™ Plants, feedstock & chips
Our Starter Plants
NileFiber™ is a tall, perennial C3 grass species in the subfamily Arundinoideae of the Poaceae family. Mature stalks grow to a height of twenty feet or more and an average diameter of one inch. This is where our fiber comes from. It is an asexually reproducing species due to seed sterility. Due to this issue, we have developed a patented propagation solution that we can make starter plants from or license.
Underground the plant produces an extensive network of large, but short rhizomes like bulbs, and fibrous tap roots. We can also use our rhizomes as advanced plant starters. Additionally, we can develop a variety of starter plant ecotypes from our ecotype portfolio and the shared University portfolios via our partnerships. Rhizome-based planting strategies, in the end, though this is costly and may require strategic planning but may expedite some crop planting.
Our Feedstock Chips
Sold by the dry ton, NileFiber™ Chips are a premium hardwood replacement and fossil fuel alternative which can be used in a multitude of industries from energy (for combustion purposes), composite building materials.
NileFiber™ Chips can be substituted as a hardwood chip for global export. NileFiber™ Chips burn at approximately 8000+ BTUs.
NileFiber™ Chips can be torrefied to be used in most coal-fired biomass facilities and burn at up to 10,000+ BTU's.
NileFiber™ Chips can be chipped and screened with disk chippers on-site in the field at the time of harvest or delivered “full stalk” (un-chipped)
* Due to differing site locations the dimensions of chips may vary.
Carbon & our Crops
With our University partnerships, we design Carbon Assistances Crops for CO2 offset solutions. We’ve developed an innovative, cost-effective, patented propagation system that allows us to plant vast acreage with a sterile plant species.
NileFiber™ can be harvested annually and produces harvestable feedstock at a rate more than (10x - 15x) times that of Douglas fir. (Planting latitude can affect the harvest tons.) NileFiber™ is extremely hardy, has no natural enemies, and can grow with as little as 24” (inches) of water per year. Poor soil without fertilizer is also suitable for planting conditions.
Once planted, NileFiber™ grows prolifically. This incredible growth rate makes this cultivar a remarkable option for a fast rate of return and sustainable CO2 sequestration.

How we achieve big goals.
Clean Air remediation is our focus.
Using our feedstock, NileFiber™, suitable for our six industrial verticals of business, we hope to impact and remediate carbon from the atmosphere equal to or greater than the current output from automobiles in the United States.
We want to capture 1.8 - 2.5 million tons of CO2 annually back into the ground.
We have big goals.
However with global warming on the rise, the trend for companies in need of solutions is growing with not many feasible options. It’s our goal to create a customized solution for your product line with an eye for an outcome your customers can be happy to endorse.
Partner with us today.
Helping us to achieve even a small amount of our countri’s annually released CO2 from automobiles is a step in the right direction and one that takes committed partners.
