BioVolt Waste to Energy

GODOT targets pressing environmental and economic dilemmas stemming from inefficient waste management practices in two distinct regions: the agricultural sectors in Eastern Washington and densely populated areas in the Philippines. In Eastern Washington, despite being a major agricultural hub, excessive food waste contributes to significant methane emissions, with the U.S. EPA highlighting that over 30 million tons of food waste are sent to landfills annually, exacerbating greenhouse gas emissions. Concurrently, the Philippines, as identified in a 2020 report by the World Bank, faces severe challenges due to unmanaged waste contributing to environmental pollution and public health issues, with millions lacking reliable access to electricity and proper waste disposal systems.

These regions exemplify global crises where unsustainable waste management and energy inefficiencies impose substantial burdens on community health, economic stability, and environmental integrity. The Philippines, notably, is among the top contributors to oceanic plastic waste, with detrimental effects on marine ecosystems and coastal communities. A recent study by Jambeck et al. (2020) estimated that approximately 1.3 million tons of plastic waste enter the oceans from the Philippines annually, exacerbating the global marine pollution crisis.

Furthermore, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, over 16 million Filipinos still lack access to reliable electricity, hampering socio-economic development and exacerbating energy poverty. The situation is compounded by inadequate waste management infrastructure, leading to widespread environmental contamination and health risks. In Eastern Washington, the economic toll of food waste is staggering, with losses estimated at over $160 billion annually, as reported by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Additionally, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) identifies agriculture as a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, with food waste accounting for approximately 8% of total emissions. This underscores the urgent need for sustainable waste management solutions to mitigate climate change impacts. The environmental degradation caused by inefficient waste management practices also undermines local ecosystems, jeopardizing biodiversity and ecosystem services vital for human well-being.

GODOT addresses the need for a low-carbon and nutritious global food system by minimizing food loss through efficient waste diversion strategies and contributes to strengthening coastal and marine ecosystems by addressing plastic waste management and promoting clean energy initiatives.
By confronting these intertwined challenges, GODOT aims to highlight the urgent need for integrated waste management solutions that not only alleviate local environmental and health burdens but also contribute to global sustainability goal, setting the stage for to transform waste management practices, enhance local energy systems, and foster sustainable community development.

GODOT combines advanced Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) and a patented Hydrothermal process, Boost-E, transforming waste into valuable feedstock for energy generation and graphene production. This integrated approach not only addresses waste management but also taps into new markets for advanced materials and clean energy, addressing land scarcity, high electricity costs, and growing energy needs in targeted regions. Utilizing patented Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) technology, Godot aims to revolutionize waste management practices, promoting environmental sustainability and fostering economic growth.

At its core, Godot is a compact and versatile system designed to efficiently convert organic waste materials into valuable resources, such as clean energy and carbon for graphene. Unlike conventional waste management methods, Godot offers a clean and sustainable alternative that minimizes electricity use, environmental harm while maximizing resource recovery.

Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) may sound complex, but it's a remarkably straightforward and efficient process. Imagine a scenario where all the organic waste that's typically discarded–from food scraps to agricultural residue–isn't just waste but a valuable resource. HTC technology allows us to do just that. It uses water, heat, and pressure to mimic the natural process of coal formation but at a significantly accelerated pace–transforming untreated organic waste into carbon-rich materials in hours instead of millions of years. HTC not only reduces waste in an energetic and cost efficient manner, it produces biofertilizers and is a green energy source for hydrogen and other bioenergy products. Bioenergy, the production of energy from organic materials, is a key player in renewable energy, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 

Our approach integrates advanced HTC technology, which is compact (one engine can be operated from a shipping container), uses IP licensed from a reliable manufacturer in Japan with decades long track record, and for which we have access to an exclusive license in the U.S. and the Philippines for application to food waste. This technology stands out for its time-to-value in terms of build and operation, reliability, and the potential to staff projects using local rural talent, thus ensuring community involvement and development. 

The technology we’re planning to leverage comes with following main advantages:

• Waste Reduction: Converts a high volume of organic waste into useful products, thereby addressing the critical issue of industrial food waste.The system is also flexible to various types of feedstock.

• Minimal Energy use: The system is self-sustaining, using approximately 15% of the energy it generates in order to to operate to produce 180-250 degrees of heat combined with pressure to make hydrochar. In comparison, methods like pyrolysis (using heat alone) needs higher heats 350-700 degrees Celsius.

• Clean Energy Production: Generates renewable energy sources such as hydrogen, contributing to the reduction of reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. 

• Valuable by-products: HTC can produce outputs such as chlorinated and carbonated water, which can be sold to large international beverage companies, in addition to graphene which has expanding applications in chips and batteries.

• The concept takes a comprehensive and integrated approach to achieving the prize goals as outlined below:

  • Academic Programs. Our proposal actively engages with colleges, universities, and educational institutions that serve underrepresented populations in STEM, including Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), community colleges, and undergraduate institutions.

  • Workforce Development. The project is designed to directly contribute to workforce development in clean energy and climate-smart sectors by not only offering job training and placement opportunities, but also creating job opportunities at the HTC facility and within the broader project ecosystem, including in the supply chain and distribution networks for HTC by-products. By prioritizing local hiring and providing competitive wages and benefits, the project aims to uplift the local economy and provide stable employment opportunities in the clean energy sector. 

  • Clean Energy Technology. The implementation of the HTC pilot project demonstrates a scalable and economically viable model for converting industrial food waste into clean energy, thereby addressing both waste management and renewable energy production in a rural setting. This pilot serves as a tangible example of community-centric, bottom-up solutions for sustainable development. 

  • Waste reduction. Turning waste into energy reduces the waste send to landfills. By systematically reducing the waste at the point of usage, GODOT  is systematically reducing the transportation costs (financial and green house gas), reducing the pressure on landfills and reducing the internal costs associate with waste processing and energy buying.

While Andy Weinstein has pivoted GODOT into energy in the past year, he had built up a distribution system for the past 6 years. Many of the team members have been in the energy space and this has been a passion project that was unable to be accomplished. Collectively, the team has spent over 100 years in thinking through building scalable systems to address climate change. 

GODOT deploys a governance model of social responsibility to address climate change at scale. By aligning every employees incentive and objective, GODOT is able to interoperably mix and mash skillsets and knowledge sets to address complicated multistakeholder problems. GODOT is not only diverse in composition of team but also uses consensus to ensure the diverse voices are heard. Hazel Mann (female, pacific islander) and Andy Weinstein (male, white) surround themselves with unique perspectives with experts across multiple industries. 

GODOT is organized into an operations company
working in tandem with Rivia Capital, a private
infrastructure fund to process industrial food and bio
waste into energy. The Fund is operated by seasoned
real estate owners and operators with a demonstrated
track record of 1) securing a high volume industrial
feedstock supply through decades-long established
relationships 2) heavily specialized operations in
industrial waste driven renewable energy and 3)
selling carbon credits and commodity contracts to its
proprietary network of bulk buyers. The Fund has
identified an initial 35,000 SF retrofit opportunity in a
strategically located Washington agricultural market
with an industry leading corporate farm client.

The Fund secures long-term ground leases from
farmers for land use and then establishes
Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) facilities on these
leased lands. The Fund leases these HTC facilities to
GODOT who manages the conversion and sale of
organic waste into valuable products like hydrochar,
hydrogen and carbon credits. This approach
generates steady revenue streams for the fund
through variable percentage leasing agreements,
while enabling GODOT as the operating company to
efficiently convert agricultural waste without the need
for significant capital investment in land or technology.
GODOT’s operations fractionalize labor across the
network, making expert scientific, engineering,
business, regulatory, and producer perspectives
available across the ecosystem. Freed from large
capital expenditure raises, GODOT focuses on the
development of human capital and intellectual
property.

GODOT collects tipping fees from feedstock providers and sells the byproducts to local customers. Sustainably funding the conversion of waste into value by layering on opportunities with existing customers. It is not just the tipping fees and byproducts but the carbon credits/offsets as well as the software platform revenue.
