NutriXect

Waste Beneficiation

NutriXect is a cleantech startup based in Mpumalanga, South Africa, focused on transforming locally available agri-food waste into affordable, high-performance insect-based poultry feed and organic fertilizer using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) bioconversion technology, addressing three critical challenges in the region: high poultry feed costs, inefficient waste management, and declining soil fertility. Its flagship products—NutriXect Layer™ and NutriXect Frass™—offer a sustainable alternative to conventional inputs. NutriXect Layer™ is an insect-based poultry feed that reduces feed costs by up to 23% compared to soy-based feeds, while improving egg production, feed efficiency, and animal health through functional nutrients such as antimicrobial peptides and chitin. NutriXect Frass™, a by-product of the process, is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer that enhances soil structure, boosts plant immunity, and improves crop resilience.
NutriXect operates a vertically integrated, solar-powered production model that significantly reduces energy consumption while enabling localized manufacturing and distribution. This approach not only lowers environmental impact but also strengthens rural economies by creating green jobs and supporting youth empowerment initiatives. NutriXect’s process avoids approximately 92 kg of CO₂ equivalent emissions per functional unit (100 kg of poultry feed), contributing to climate change mitigation and supporting the transition to a circular bioeconomy. By targeting smallholder poultry and crop farmers, cooperatives, and agro-dealers, NutriXect is building a scalable, climate-smart solution that enhances farmer profitability, promotes sustainable agriculture, and drives inclusive economic development across South Africa.

Green Energy Holding Group (GEHG)

Renewable Energy

Green Energy Holding Group is the developer of the HydroNova Project (incorporating the ARMMONIEL™ innovation), the world’s first scalable, plug-and-play e-fuel. Boasting an energy density >54 MJ/L and calibrated to specific engine sizes within hard-to-abate industries, HydroNova is designed to replace conventional diesel, petroleum, ammonia, jet fuel, hydrogen, and methanol in any engine without modification. As global energy landscapes face the closure of key straits and the decline of the legacy fuel era, HydroNova provides a resilient, decentralized alternative, ensuring regional energy sovereignty.
Technically, the HydroNova molecule is MW-scalable, NOx-free, and produces zero CO2 emissions. Unlike other synthetic fuels, it features zero boil-off and is zero-corrosive, making it a stable, long-term energy asset. Its "drop-in" nature allows for immediate integration into existing heavy-duty transport, maritime, and industrial power generation infrastructure, bypassing the need for expensive mechanical retrofits.
The project operates within an integrated ecosystem, including the MONIEL RESERVE BANK and the MERA stablecoin, ensuring the green energy transition is both financially inclusive and technologically advanced. By leveraging proprietary quantum AI logic and biometric security (El-Finger™), GEHG is not just replacing a fuel molecule but building a decentralized, carbon-neutral energy future. We are actively inviting global pilots and licensing partners to transition from passive consumers of legacy fuels to active producers in a localized, green energy economy.
