The opportunity

Recovering value from British farm residues

Surplus manure, slurry and digestate contain valuable nutrients and carbon, but managing them can create storage, spreading and water-quality pressures for farms.

Onunda has developed patented technology to turn these wet agricultural residues into useful products: biochar and nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser.

Built in response to growing nutrient pressures in agriculture, our technology helps recover value from materials that can be difficult to store, transport and manage.

Our aim is to support British farmers, supply useful products to UK growers and reduce reliance on imported fertilisers, while making better use of agricultural resources.

How it works

Turning agricultural wastes into useful products

Onunda combines hydrothermal carbonisation and pyrolysis to turn surplus manure, slurry and digestate into biochar and nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser.

The process treats wet agricultural residues using heat and pressure, then separates a nutrient-rich liquid stream through mechanical dewatering. The remaining solids are dried and converted into biochar through pyrolysis. Recovered process gas helps supply energy for treatment, making use of the nutrients, carbon and energy contained in farm residues.

Maximising extraction of value, nutrients and energy.
