Description
El Dorado Royale Resort is the first in a series of groundbreaking projects in Mexico designed to combat two urgent environmental challenges: the spread of sargassum along coastal regions and the global surge in unmanaged green waste. This project sets the foundation for innovative waste management that delivers measurable benefits for the planet and its communities.
Sargassum blooms—now pervasive across the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, and Florida—represent an escalating ecological and economic crisis. As they decay, these invasive blooms emit hydrogen sulfide, polluting air and water, harming coastal ecosystems, and contaminating soil with heavy metals. Simultaneously, green waste from resort landscaping—such as palm fronds, grass clippings, and other vegetation—contributes to the global waste crisis, releasing potent greenhouse gases like methane when improperly managed. Together, these challenges degrade ecosystems, threaten public health, and jeopardize tourism-dependent economies.
Grogenics employs advanced pyrolysis technology and sustainable composting methods to address these challenges head-on. Each facility processes over 20,000 metric tons of biomass annually, converting sargassum and green waste into biochar, nutrient-rich compost, and renewable energy. Our approach neutralizes harmful heavy metals through advanced bioremediation, ensuring that our products are safe for use. By preventing methane emissions and locking carbon in stable forms for centuries, we deliver sustainable solutions while maintaining the highest standards of safety and transparency.
The biochar we produce enriches soil health, boosts water and nutrient retention, and supports regenerative agriculture, making land more productive and resilient. Our compost drives sustainable farming practices, benefiting nearby plantations, small-scale farmers, orchards, and more. Meanwhile, the renewable energy generated powers local communities—providing a crucial lifeline in regions often left vulnerable after hurricanes and natural disasters.
At full scale, this model has the potential to process 1 million tons of biomass annually, sequester 1 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, and dramatically reduce methane emissions. These efforts not only combat climate change but also enhance food security and strengthen resilience in areas hardest hit by sargassum.
Through cutting-edge innovation, scalable solutions, and collaborative action, Grogenics transforms environmental challenges into opportunities, setting a bold new benchmark for sustainable coastal management.
Gold Standard SDGs
Climate action
In 2023, the Atlantic sargassum mass was estimated at 13 million tons, reaching as high as 20 million tons in some recordings. If left to decompose on shore or in landfills, sargassum releases a significant amount of potent greenhouse gases (GHGs). To support climate action, we employ responsible, ecological, and sustainable sargassum collecting methods. Our sustainable transformative processes not only diminish the burden on landfills but also play a proactive role in reducing CO2 emissions. This aligns with our commitment to fostering a healthier planet.
Life below water
Committed to preserving the planet's largest ecosystem, we actively contribute to ocean protection, marine biodiversity conservation, and the support of fisheries. Our proactive and ecological collection of sargassum at sea and in bays safeguards seagrass beds, mangroves, and coral reefs from rapid degradation due to insufficient sunlight penetration, and prevents fish and invertebrate mortalities. Simultaneously, we ensure fishermen have access to clean waters, sustaining both the environment and their livelihoods.
Life on land
Our strength lies in protecting, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. We specialize in the sustainable management of soils, combatting desertification, and actively working to halt and reverse land degradation, all while prioritizing efforts to stop biodiversity loss. The biochar produced on-site will primarily be used as an additive to our compost, as well as a soil enhancer that promotes regenerative agriculture, leading to improved crop yields.
Decent work and economic growth
We are dedicated to promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth, fostering full and productive employment that guarantees decent work for all. Our approach involves empowering local individuals, providing them opportunities not only in the sargassum harvest but also in the transformative processes of the final products. To address the seasonal nature of sargassum, we offer full-time positions within our organization, ensuring ongoing employment for the local community.
Quality education
We aim to ensure equitable quality education, fostering lifelong learning opportunities for all. For instance, in Miches, Dominican Republic, we collaborated with Fundación Tropicalia, a non-profit organization implementing high-impact projects in agriculture, gender equality, education, environment, entrepreneurship, and microfinance. This partnership, which brings together more than 15 educational centers, along with our past teacher training program, has positively impacted the lives of thousands of students and hundreds of teachers. Our plan is to replicate this model by collaborating with local NGOs in every new project we launch.
Other Supported SDGs
Zero hunger
We strive to ensure equal access to knowledge on sustainable food practices, providing essential technologies for self-sufficiency in food production. By equipping people with the necessary technologies and tools to grow their produce, we contribute to the larger goal of eliminating hunger while fostering economic resilience among coastal communities. In a nutshell, this enables these farmers, mostly women, to not only meet their needs but also generate additional income by selling their small-scale productions.
Good health and well-being
The solution addresses health risks associated with decomposing sargassum which can cause respiratory, skin, and neurocognitive symptoms in both local residents and tourists. Toxic exposure typically happens during decomposition, approximately 48 hours after it washes ashore.
Gender equality
Our goal is to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. In Miches, for example, we actively supported over a dozen women small-farmers, making a significant impact on their lives and families. The testimonials we've received speak volumes about the positive change our initiatives have brought to the community.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Grogenics specializes in processing sargassum and green waste to produce fertilizer, soil amendments, compost, and mulch. Our approach effectively mitigates toxic by-products such as arsenic and heavy metals, surpassing alternative uses for sargassum like animal feed, biofuel, bioplastics, biochemicals, or cosmetic seaweed extracts. Grogenics holds the potential to stimulate economic activities in bio-waste management and agriculture by establishing localized processing and distribution infrastructure.
Reduced inequalities
Globally, women are twice as likely as men to report experiencing discrimination based on their sex. At Grogenics, we prioritize gender equality both within our team and in the individuals we hire from coastal communities. Ensuring equal representation in numbers and roles is a fundamental commitment, fostering a workplace and community environment that values and respects diversity.
