From unwanted residue to lasting value.

Kisii grows around 75,000 tonnes of avocado each year. Our partner oil plant will press 20,000 tonnes in its first year—but only a fraction becomes oil.

Available biomass

A local resource
at meaningful scale.

56,000 tAvocado residue each year

125,000 tCorn cobs each year

70–80%of pressed fruit becomes residue

Circular process

Residue becomes
productive value.

Two underused biomass streams enter one controlled system and return value to farms and industry.

01 · Resource

Avocado residue

Fruit residue from the local oil plant becomes a consistent biomass input.

02 · Resource

Corn cobs

Farm waste is collected instead of being burnt in the open, avoiding smoke and CO₂.

03 · Transform

Gasification

Controlled conversion turns both waste streams into useful outputs.

Closing the loop

Waste taken away.
Value returned.

S&R Imara collects both waste streams and converts them through controlled gasification—creating practical value on both sides of the system.

Two useful returns

✦BiocharReturned to farms as a carbon-rich soil input that supports moisture and nutrient retention.

ϟSyngasReturned to the avocado oil plant as process heat, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

For Kisii's farmers and local industry.
