A curated library of the science, technology, and industry research shaping our work, from the economics of sargassum to the pyrolysis technology that turns it into clean carbon. Each link opens the original source.
The science tracking the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, its drivers, and its impact on coastal economies.
Researchers from WHOI and the University of Rhode Island combined economic modeling with satellite and fisheries data to estimate the multi-million dollar annual losses sargassum blooms inflict on tourism, recreation, and fishing across Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida's Atlantic coast, and show how forecasting tools can strengthen coastal planning.
The primary near real-time system for detecting and tracking pelagic sargassum by satellite, paired with a monthly outlook bulletin. It is the same USF data behind our belt map, and the source most sargassum forecasts trace back to.
A clear, credible explainer on how satellites measure the belt from space, with imagery showing its scale across the Atlantic. A strong plain-language reference for how the bloom is tracked.
The latest science on what now drives the belt, documenting biomass surpassing 30 million tons in 2025 and showing how internal nutrient recycling, not just wind and currents, controls its growth. Useful for forecasting.
A peer-reviewed synthesis of how sargassum inundation affects Caribbean coastlines, economies, and ecosystems. Directly relevant to the front-line regions where we operate.
Open-access research advancing how sargassum is detected and monitored specifically in the Caribbean Sea, one of our lead operating areas.
The thermochemical technology that turns sargassum and other waste into biochar, bio-oil, and energy.
A manufacturer's overview of a fully continuous pyrolysis plant: industrial equipment that thermally breaks feedstock down in an oxygen-free reactor into oil, carbon/char, and combustible gas, running continuously rather than in batches. It illustrates the class of technology behind our approach.
Recent open-access work characterizing sargassum biochar across pyrolysis temperatures and demonstrating real applications, including water treatment. Shows the range of value in the char output.
An industry overview of tire-waste management in the United States: roughly 280 million tires are discarded each year (over five million tons), now recovered at about a 76% rate versus under 30% in the 1990s. It reviews processing methods and end uses, including tire-derived fuel, a large, hard-to-recycle stream relevant to our pyrolysis platform.
The leading nonprofit on biochar, with a plain-language overview of pyrolysis technology plus formal guidelines for safe, effective production. The best institutional starting point on the technology.
The most on-point study for our operation: it pyrolyzes sargassum specifically and reports biochar heating values of 23 to 26 MJ/kg, higher than low-rank coal. Strong evidence for sargassum as both a fuel and a biochar feedstock.
A broad, authoritative review of pyrolysis routes and their products: biochar, bio-oil, and syngas. Good grounding in how the technology works and where the value lies.
Reviews the exact coproduction model our process relies on: one feedstock yielding multiple valuable outputs at once. Open access.
A worldwide study estimating the energy locked in municipal solid waste, quantifying the biogas and hydrogen that could be recovered from landfills across the globe. It sizes the waste-to-energy opportunity our pyrolysis platform is built to capture.
