THE SCIENCE & PROCESS

From crop residue to 1,000-year carbon removal.

Sugarcane bagasse left in open fields rapidly decomposes or is openly burned. Continuous slow pyrolysis fixes this volatile carbon into chemically inert aromatic structures.

Crop Residue (Bagasse)
STAGE 01

Crop Residue (Bagasse)

Recovered from sugar processing mills across Gujarat co-operatives before field disposal.

100% Bagasse Feedstock
Continuous Pyrolysis
STAGE 02

Continuous Pyrolysis

Thermal conversion in oxygen-depleted continuous retorts at 550°C+ core temperature.

554°C Optimal Retort
Engineered Biochar
STAGE 03

Engineered Biochar

Highly porous aromatic carbon matrix with molar H:C ratio < 0.35 resisting microbial decay.

82.4% Carbon Fixed
Soil Sequestration
STAGE 04

Soil Sequestration

Blended into agricultural soils, locking carbon for 1,000+ years and enhancing moisture retention.

1,000+ Yrs Durability
H:Corg molar ratio < 0.35 verified
Continuous IoT dMRV sensor logging
Net negative life cycle accounting (LCA)

How the FOCO model works

A turnkey operational partnership aligning capital with industrial climate asset creation.

PHASE 01Step 01 of 04

Site Due Diligence & Feedstock Sourcing

Feasibility, mill audits & logistics mapping

We execute multi-mill bagasse audits within a 30km radius in Gujarat, verifying surplus tonnage, moisture parameters, and multi-year supply contracts before capital commitment.

Operational Scope
Multi-year exclusive bagasse supply agreements
Ambient moisture & fixed carbon laboratory assays
Grid infrastructure, siting permits & clearances
Strategic Benefit:De-risked feedstock supply with zero agricultural speculation.
PHASE 02 · CURRENTStep 02 of 04

Dedicated Ring-Fenced SPV Formation

Direct asset title & capital governance

Capital partners subscribe to equity or structured notes in an independent Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) holding 100% legal title to physical plant machinery, retorts, and site assets.

Operational Scope
Independent SPV incorporation under Indian law
Hard physical asset ownership & escrow ring-fencing
Clear O&M contract with performance benchmarks
Strategic Benefit:Institutional title ownership with zero operational liability.
PHASE 03Step 03 of 04

Turnkey EPC & Continuous Plant Operations

Engineering, 24/7 staffing & dMRV telemetry

CarboMomentum constructs and operates the continuous multi-hearth pyrolysis train. We manage daily factory staffing, syngas energy loops, and automated IoT telemetry logging.

Operational Scope
Continuous sealed reactor engineering & assembly
Calibrated IoT pyrometers & tamper-evident logging
Local biochar quenching & agricultural formulation
Strategic Benefit:Turnkey industrial management with zero staffing burden for investors.
PHASE 04Step 04 of 04

Revenue Realization & CORC Retirement

Offtake monetization & transparent distribution

Cash flows are realized from bilateral corporate carbon removal contracts (CORCs) and regional agricultural biochar distribution, audited and distributed to SPV partners.

Operational Scope
Bilateral corporate forward offtake delivery
Isometric registry certificate issuance
Quarterly audited distributions & investor portal telemetry
Strategic Benefit:High-margin carbon credit returns plus regional soil conditioner sales.
