Sustainable Food, Fibre & Fuel

Empowering new industries from old wisdom

Empowering new industries from old wisdom

We are committed to contributing to a decarbonized future for the bioeconomy by developing plant-based green energy, functional food and versatile fibre from Australia-grown Agave - one of the most sustainable plants on the planet 

Vision.

Agave is a semi-arid succulent with physiological similarities to cactus, making it a highly efficient producer of sugar based energy, while enabling a carbon negative biomass for energy and or fuel feedstock supply. It’s fundamentally a nature-built solar panel and energy storage system that can revolutionise the carbon intensity of energy while remaining a low-impact renewable feedstock source. 

Why Agave?

  • Fuel

    Possibly the most sustainable source of biofuel feedstock in the world. Agave requires less energy to be converted to fuel than any other plant source commonly used for biofuel production, delivering a low-input, high energy yielding alternative for sustainable aviation fuel, ethanol, and even green hydrogen. 

  • Food

    Agave is well known for being the origin of Tequila and Mescal spirits, but agave also produces a high-quality syrup, as well as agave inulin, a quality prebiotic fibre used as a sweetener with benefits in managing blood sugar stability, improving weight loss and boosting gut microbiome. Raw agave inulin is in great demand alongside the rise of ketogenic and intermittent fasting lifestyles. 

  • Fibre

    As one of its oldest uses, agave fibre is returning to favour as a sustainable resource for ropes, fabrics and even as art and décor - such is this famous piece made from sisal agave by Fernando Laposse from his collection known as "The Dogs".

    Agave fibre can also be added to common fabrics such as cotton for improved "whole of supply chain" sustainability, while increasing quality and durability.
