Integrated Lignocellulosic Waste Processing
'Team points' are awarded according to the adequacy of the solution with the type of innovations sought by Team for the Planet. They correspond to the analysis of several factors :
- impact potential: impact average score > 4 => 0,5 point / if > 4,15 => 1 point.
- global consistency: all average score of the 6 selection criteria > 2,5 => 1 point.
- the favourite: % of assessments judge the innovation as a top one to act on a global scale against greenhouse gases > 20% => 1 point
- the targeting: validation of Team for the Planet scope of action higher than 90% => 0,5 point + innovation level of maturity is enough => 0,5 point
- social acceptability: semantic analysis score of comments > 0 => 0,5 point/ if > 3500 => 1 point
Submitted for assessment : After checking that an innovation is within the scope of the 20 issues Team for the Planet targets and that it has reached a sufficient maturity, the innovation is being assessed.
Arboreum is an integrated process designed to transform lignocellulosic agricultural waste into high-value products while reducing emissions and waste disposal burdens. Instead of treating crop residues and similar biomass as waste, our system converts them into two primary outputs: usable fibrous pulp and stable biochar. The process combines pulping and thermal conversion in a modular, circular architecture where heat and water are recovered and reused internally to reduce external resource demand. This improves overall efficiency and supports deployment in regions with different climates, feedstock types, and infrastructure constraints. Arboreum is built for practical industrial adoption: phased implementation, multiple product pathways, and licensing-based scalability. By turning one underused waste stream into materials with commercial value, the solution aims to lower landfill/open-burn reliance, support cleaner local manufacturing, and contribute to climate-positive industrial transition. IP has been filed, and the project is now seeking pilot partnerships and grant/funding support to move toward implementation.
