Only RASA can produce biofuels from mixed organic waste without competing with food production, meeting growing biofuel demand sustainably and without land use conflicts.

only rasa

Produces biofuels from any organic waste, eliminating competition with food production

Preserves forests and agricultural lands by avoiding land use for biofuel production

Generates biofuels at a lower cost than crop-based methods, improving economic viability

Produces consistent, high-quality hydrocarbons closer to final fuel products, reducing processing steps

Enables decentralized, local biofuel production, minimizing transportation costs and associated emissions while enhancing energy security

the unsolvable Problem

Biofuels are an essential supplementary fuel, especially in sectors like aviation and heavy transport, where electrification is challenging. By 2050, nations have pledged that biofuel production will reach 7 million barrels per day, about 10% of global liquid fuel demand, and double that of hydrogen fuels.

First-generation biofuels are derived from food crops like corn, sugarcane, and soybeans, using simple processes such as fermentation. However, they compete directly with our food supply because they use food crops.

Second-generation biofuels are produced from non-food biomass, including agricultural residues, forestry waste, and dedicated energy crops like switchgrass. These require more complex production processes and can lead to significant greenhouse gas (GHG) savings.

In both cases, maintaining a reliable biofuel supply requires dedicated supplementary crops. The common challenge for both sources of biofuel feedstock is land availability. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that producing the pledged amount of biofuels in 2050 requires 100 million hectares of land to grow dedicated biofuel crops—this is the size of Texas and New Mexico combined, representing 2% of the world’s agricultural land. Clearly, this is not feasible, particularly as the world’s population grows.

Acknowledging the need for new biofuel feedstocks that don’t compete for food and land is an important step. The EU is already updating its regulations to promote advanced biofuels mainly produced from municipal waste. Proving waste-to-energy technology at a commercial scale is particularly important for developing countries where an estimated 750 million people not only need to be brought onto the energy grid, but a grid that is built for a Net-Zero world by 2050.

the only solution

RASA’s technology is the only solution that can produce biofuels from mixed organic waste without requiring additional farmland or competing with food production. Unlike current methods that rely on crops or limited waste streams, our approach can use any organic material. This unique capability positions RASA as the sole solution to meet growing biofuel demand sustainably without the land use conflicts that plague current production methods.
