The potential of the circular economy to process biomass waste into high-value energy and materials is enormous, but its utilization has only reached 5.8%. Gema's company, Catalyzon provides an integrated biomass processing ecosystem. The ecosystem that his team provides has multi revenue streams. First, they use the platform to earn tipping fees from picking up biomass waste from the agricultural, household and industrial sectors. Second, they use the biomass waste processing technology they created to process it into green energy and high-value materials to distribute to the industry on a B2B basis. Third, Catalyzon provides a one-stop-solution service to the biomass producing industry that requires on-site installation of eco-friendly technology. In addition, they also educate and empower the community about collecting biomass waste to be used as a business. With an ecosystem like this, we can quickly accelerate the circular economy of biomass waste.
