Vision Statement

To lead the global shift towards a sustainable and circular bioeconomy, transforming agricultural waste into valuable resources and fostering a low-carbon, resilient future for both communities and the planet.

Goals and Objectives

To revolutionize agriculture in the USA, Canada and Mexico by transforming biomass into high-value biobased products and bioenergy, enhancing sustainability and economic viability in the agricultural sector.

We are BIOANG

BIOANG is already a thriving business in food systems environment, since 1979 we have served dozens of companies who want to optimize its value chain.

SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Biomass feedstock management

  • Optimizing Conversion Technologies: Improve biomass-to-biofuel processes by adopting new technologies, automation, or reorganizing workflows for greater efficiency.

  • Data-Driven Decision-Making: Use data and analytics to monitor performance, guiding informed decisions and continuous improvements.

Biobased products and bioenergy consulting

  • Feasibility Studies and Engineering Development: Investigate and develop new products from agricultural residues, including chemicals, agricultural inputs, energy, food additives, and biodegradable materials.

Renewable Energy Consulting

  • Biogas and Biomass Energy Projects: Design and develop renewable energy projects from agricultural biomass, including biogas, biomass boilers, gasification, and the installation of biodigesters.

Life Cycle Analysis and Sustainability

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): A method to evaluate and minimize the environmental impact of agricultural processes and their by-products throughout their entire life cycle.
  • Carbon Footprint Reduction Consulting: Expert guidance to adopt practices that lower the carbon footprint of farms, enhancing their sustainability and eco-efficiency.

Innovation and Technological Development R&D

  • Industrial Symbiosis & New Production: Foster connections between sectors and companies to introduce biobased products to the market.
  • Pilot Programs: Develop and manage real-world pilot programs to test new agricultural technologies and practices.
  • R&D: Oversee product and process development through TRL stages 1 to 7.

Use case of Central Valley of California

The Central Valley of California is one of the world’s most productive agricultural regions, known for its diverse crops and significant agricultural output.

ALMONDS

  • Production: California produces more than 80% of the world’s almonds, with the majority of production concentrated in the Central Valley. In 2021, approximately 1.33 million acres were dedicated to almond cultivation, yielding nearly 3 billion pounds (1.36 million tonnes) of almonds.
  • Waste Generated: Almond shells, hulls, and pruning residues. These can be used as biomass for energy generation or as material for composting.

GRAPES

  • Production: California is the largest grape producer in the U.S., with over 800,000 acres dedicated to vineyards, primarily in the Central Valley. In 2021, about 7.2 million tonnes of grapes were produced, with a large portion used for wine production.
  • Waste Generated: Pruning canes, grape pomace (skins and seeds), and fermentation residues. Grape pomace can be used in biofuel production or as soil amendments.

TOMATOES

  • Production: The Central Valley accounts for more than 90% of the processed tomatoes in the U.S. In 2021, around 12.6 million tonnes of tomatoes were produced in this region.
  • Waste Generated: Tomato residues such as stems, leaves, and skins, which can be processed into biogas or used as compost additives.

ALFALFA

  • Production: Alfalfa is an important forage crop in the Central Valley, with more than 800,000 acres dedicated to its cultivation. The annual production is approximately 7 million tonnes.
  • Waste Generated: Harvest residues and unused biomass, which can be converted into biogas or used to produce biomass pellets.

LETTUCE

  • Production: Although the Central Valley is not as well known for lettuce production as the Central Coast, it still contributes significantly with over 120,000 acres cultivated annually.
  • Waste Generated: Outer leaves, stems, and non-marketable residues, useful for compost production or biogas generation.

ORANGES

  • Production: Orange production in the Central Valley represents a significant portion of California’s citrus production, with approximately 135,000 acres cultivated and an annual yield of over 2 million tonnes.
  • Waste Generated: Peels, pulp, and pruning residues, which can be used in the production of bioproducts such as pectins and essential oils.

ALMONDS

  • Production: California produces more than 80% of the world’s almonds, with the majority of production concentrated in the Central Valley. In 2021, approximately 1.33 million acres were dedicated to almond cultivation, yielding nearly 3 billion pounds (1.36 million tonnes) of almonds.
