“They also enhance soil resulting in carbon sequestration, microbial biomass and provides a conducive environment for mycorrhizae. It’s a much more organic and economical way to improve cropland while reducing dependency on agriculture chemicals,” he said.
Both innovative products were created through Verde’s proprietary breakthrough BioFraction technology that involves an advanced proprietary, modified catalytic vacuum pyrolysis, and temperature controlled thermochemical process.

Balakrishnan said the technology converts palm waste into the renewable by-products of biochar, bio-oil, bio-syngas and wood vinegar.
“Through our innovative BioFraction technology, we will be realising a sustainable growth business model focusing on the three main pillars of economic, environmental and social benefits. These benefits, in turn, would revolve around people, planet and profits.
