THE PROBLEM

Two industrial problems.
One scalable answer.

Biomethane plants and industry face a costly residue problem just as demand for reliable renewable energy and durable carbon removal accelerates.

A

Low-grade biomass is hard to use

Digestate, sludge and high-ash residues are expensive to dispose of and beyond the operating limits of conventional small-scale gasifiers.

B

Industry needs credible removal

Biochar is already the most delivered durable carbon-removal pathway—yet most systems trade energy output for carbon production.

Endeavour routinely processes feedstock at25–30% moisture
and 50%+ inert content.
THE PLATFORM
ONE PLATFORM

Two revenue engines.

The same modular asset switches operating mode to follow energy economics or carbon demand.

ENGINE 01 · ENERGY

Clean syngas.
Power and heat.

High-temperature gasification turns difficult feedstocks into low-tar syngas for on-site combined heat and power.

70%+Cold gas efficiencyEnergy retained in syngas relative to the biomass input
ENGINE 02 · CARBON

Biochar.
Durable removal.

Certification-ready biochar creates a second source of value from the same asset and the same residue streams.

HOW IT WORKS

Heat where it matters.
Control where others struggle.

Microwave assistance adds energy directly inside the reactor, independently controlling the process up to 1,200°C.

VALIDATION

Built.
Tested.
Ready to scale.

Endeavour has moved beyond laboratory proof. Its industrial-scale demonstrator has completed multiple 24h+ continuous campaigns across different feedstocks.

INITIAL MARKET
BIOMETHANE

Start where the need is urgent—and repeatable.

Every biomethane plant produces digestate, requires energy and faces growing constraints on land spreading. Endeavour addresses all three with one on-site asset.

THE ROAD AHEAD

From validated prototype to a scalable industrial platform.

The Series A funds the transition to commercial-grade deployment.

NOW → 2027First-of-a-kind

Final engineering, qualification and first commercial contract.

2028Commercialisation

Second and third contracts, supplier-base stabilisation and service platform.

2029Industrial scale-up

Repeatable delivery model and internalisation of critical components.

COMPANY
