MISSION
Autarcycle comes from the fusion between the words autarky, that describe a self-sufficient economic system, and cycle, that describe an uninterrupted series of phenomenon that renew in an unalterable order.
We work with our partners in order to promote, develop and share products that give durable and environmentally acceptable automated microproduction technologies and to promote, develop and share knowledge in health, science and education.
INCENTIVE
Look at oilseeds and plant crops in general.
They are masterpieces of solar engineering.
Yet, in our current industrial system,
they are the symbol of a broken economy.
Today,
a farmer harvests his crops and sells them for a fraction of their value
to centralized processing and distribution plants
located hundreds of miles away.
That is when the absurdity begins.
That same farmer must buy the meal to feed his livestock,
the fuel to run his tractor,
the fertilizers to feed his land and
the materials necessary for the development of his business.
All of this could be produced from the very crops he grew.
But the transportation costs to processing plants,
the industrial margins and the associated carbon emissions
make competition impossible against petroleum products.
We are forcing our farmers to export their natural wealth
only to then import a fossil imitation of it.
It is an economic and ecological dead end.
What if we stopped moving the matter to the factory,
and started moving the factory to the matter?
What if we replaced the oil barrel with the local harvest?
We are here to build a disruption:
the automated and decentralized micro-factory.
Imagine a modular unit, the size of a shipping container,
dropped right at the edge of the field.
It doesn’t just “process”;
it reintegrates the entire value chain.
It separates the biomass into three vital streams, keeping the value where it belongs:
First, the Proteins. The seeds are pressed on-site. The high-protein meal remains on the farm to feed the cattle. The farmer keeps his resources.
Second, the Lipids. The oil is immediately converted into biofuel for direct use on the farm. The farm becomes its own gas station.
Third, the Sugars and Cellulose. We recover the “waste” — the stalks, the husks, the residues — and we unlock the carbon.
To build a modern world without petrol,
we need versatiles chemical synthons
that allow access to bio-based replacement products.
In our micro-units, we will produce primary alcohols:
Methanol (C1), Ethanol (C2), Propanol (C3) and Butanol (C4),
These are the primary liquid building blocks.
This gives access, among others, to dialkyl carbonates,
the absolute reference for green solvents.
We use them to create high-performance biofuels that outperform traditional diesel,
high-value polyurethane for insulation,
specialized hydrometallurgical solvents for extraction,
and beyond…
We aren’t just farming;
we are performing high-end molecular engineering in a box.
We are replacing the petroleum refinery with a biological one.
Because automation has finally broken the barrier of scale,
our software pilots these complex liquid-phase reactions in a container.
This shifts the balance of power.
We move from a “top-down” extractive economy dependent on petrol,
to a “bottom-up” generative economy dependent on the sun.
By removing the middlemen and the thousands of miles of transport,
we finally make bio-resources more competitive than petrol.
We don’t just match the price of gasoline;
we beat the system that supports it.
Imagine a global network of these cells.
A world without pipelines.
A world where economic resilience is grown, not imported.
The petroleum age centralized power.
The bio-resource age will redistribute it.
We are not just talking about a new machine,
but about a new type of sovereignty.
A world where every community has the tools
to turn their land into their future.
The future is not about gigantism, it is about integration.
Feeding the herd with the meal.
Powering the machines with ultra-high-performance biofuels derived from vegetable oil or tallow.
And building the world with primary alcohols derived from plants.
It is all right here,
under our feet.
We just needed the right box
to unlock it.
Persistent innovation for a sovereign industry.
