cob.trade (A biomass.market Project)

cob.trade™ has now evolved to a foll-blown, local biomass trading and information platform. biomass.market™ (see https://www.linkedin.com/company/biomass-market) is dalinyebo's spv for the development of biomass supply chains for (furfural) biorefineries, agro-processing hub or biomass power plants. biomass.market™ is designed to enable the trading of local biomass e.g. forest residues or maize cobs. in most places (in africa), the corncob is left in the field or is under utilised. maize (mealie) is one of africa's staple diets and often grown with poor yields. the co-harvesting of the cobs provides additional revenue to the (emerging) farmers from a food by-product that is often wasted. forest residues or agro-biomass is expensive to transport over long distances. the biomass.market™ business model is based on the development of a local biomass trade for (several) regional converters. especially, the processing of agro-biomass is a new economy with a vast potential, provided there is
