Local Biomass Processing

FIABFactory in a Box · Our Solutions · 02

Turn locally available biomass into agricultural value, close to the source.

A modular production model designed to transform locally recovered biomass into agricultural inputs closer to the communities and markets they serve.

What FIAB is

Process biomass where it is found, close to the people who will use its value.

FIAB, short for Factory in a Box, is a modular processing approach. Each setup is configured to the biomass available on site and to its operating context, so value is created close to the source.

FIAB can follow a HADUM network, but it does not need one. Farms, agricultural businesses and local operators that already have biomass can start with FIAB directly.

How it works

Local recovery → local transformation → local value

A simple chain: biomass that is available locally goes in, agricultural inputs come out, and the value stays close to the community that produced it.

Input

Local biomass

Biomass available on site or nearby.

  • Food leftovers
  • Livestock manure
  • Agricultural residues
FIAB

Local transformation

A modular setup configured to the biomass stream and the site.

Output

Agricultural inputs

Value returned to farming, as with SAMADI.

Biomass streams are confirmed per site. Tell us what is available where you are.

Modular and adaptable

Configured for each site

No two FIAB setups have to be the same. Each one is shaped around what is available and what is possible locally.

1

The biomass stream

What is available, how much, and how regularly.

2

Operating conditions

Space, climate and the people who will run it.

3

Infrastructure

What already exists on site and what needs to be added.

4

Local partners

Farms, operators, municipalities and programmes involved.

5

Market context

Where the agricultural inputs will be used.

6

Regulatory context

The local rules a setup has to follow.

Quality by design

A 12-stage patented bioprocess

Factory in a Box runs a 12-stage patented bioprocess that ensures quality, consistency and formulation stability. It is the process behind SAMADI.

Why process locally

Value that stays close to the source

  • Less long-distance movement of biomass
  • Practical recovery of resources that would otherwise lose their value
  • Agricultural reuse close to the farms that need it
  • Local operating and economic opportunities
Who FIAB is for

For anyone with biomass and a reason to use it

Farms

Including livestock and poultry farms.

Agricultural & food businesses

Turning residues into local value.

Cooperatives & local operators

Processing for members and nearby farms.

Municipalities

Local processing as part of biomass management.

NGOs & development projects

Programmes that build local circular value.

Sites with agricultural residues

From the field and from processing.
