Modern science, ancient wisdom, restoring balance
Capture Tech is a regenerative agriculture technology solving complex nonpoint runoff pollution challenges
OUR STRATEGY
Biochar Capture Packs (BCPs) sustainably manage pollutants through absorption and onsite bioremediation.
Once removed, BCPs become valuable feedstocks for agricultural products, contributing to soil carbon storage, nutrient cycling, efficient water usage, and biodiversity while restoring degraded farm soils.
Made from waste organic materials, Biochar Capture Packs (BCPs) offer a groundbreaking solution for combating complex issues caused by nonpoint runoff pollution, such as algal blooms. BCPs serve as a powerful filtration barrier, absorbing nutrients, capturing contaminants, and preventing sediment runoff. Inoculated with bioremediating microbes, BCPs break down contaminants in the environment, protect waterways, and foster healthier ecosystems.
Environmental Emissions Management
The integration of biology in environmental cleanup efforts involves harnessing the power of living organisms, such as bacteria and plants, to break down pollutants, restore ecosystems, and promote sustainable practices. Combining these biological approaches with traditional engineering methods can lead to effective, cost-efficient, and eco-friendly solutions for cleaning up our environment.
Biochar
Carbonization of organic wastes both locks carbon out of our air and creates a material with ubiquitous applications.
Biofiltering
Using diverse organisms found in nature to accelerate the degradation and capture of substances that would be detrimental to the environment. These organisms possess unique properties which allow them to breakdown and recycle the compounds into useful and restorative substances.
Linking Solutions Together
The integration of biology in environmental cleanup efforts involves harnessing the power of living organisms, such as fungi and bacteria to break down pollutants, restore ecosystems, and promote sustainable practices. Combining these biological approaches with traditional engineering methods can lead to effective, cost-efficient, and ecofriendly solutions for cleaning up our environment.
Sustainable Fertilizer Production
Utilizing our biological filtration processes, we create natural fertilizers that replace ecologically harmful chemical fertilizers that require energy intensive production methods and contribute to over 5% global emissions (Nature, 2023).
Regenerative Fertilizer Application
We produce a bioactive fertilizer which massively reduces the need for water, increases biodiversity, decreases soil erosion, improves soil structure, and promotes ecological cycling for continued regeneration of the soils.
Carbon Sequestration
Our methods either sequester or offset carbon at every stage of production. In application our fertilizers have the potential to directly sequester significant amounts of CO2.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AREAS
Extensive Agriculture
Conventional agricultural methods harm the environment, leading to issues such as erosion, soil depletion, biodiversity loss, and nutrient discharge that ultimately results in polluted waters and algal blooms. These problems have a significant impacts on human health and safety around the world.
Intensive Agriculture
Intensive agriculture, while providing high yields and economic advantages, has considerable environmental implications. Agricultural practices contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the use of synthetic fertilizers, energy-intensive equipment, and industrial-scale livestock production. Intensive agriculture also consumes large amounts of water and generates significant waste, which further exacerbates environmental issues such as water scarcity, climate change, and pollution.
Industry
Industrial waste significantly impacts the environment by interfering with natural processes such as air, water, and nutrient cycling. These disruptions can have long-lasting consequences on ecosystems and human health. For example, industrial emissions release into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and climate change. Similarly, untreated or improperly managed wastewater from factories can contaminate rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources, affecting aquatic life and impacting drinking water supplies.
Urbanization
The increased demand of water has a significant impact on water quality. As more and more people relocate to cities, the demand for resources such as water increases, leading to challenges in sustaining water quality. Urbanization often leads to the loss of green spaces, such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands. These areas play a crucial role in filtering pollutants from water and maintaining overall water quality. The loss of these natural filters can have adverse effects on water quality.
