Projects
Proven in operation.
Built to repeat.
Got Ngur has supplied electricity to the community since 2022. It is where our integrated platform is proven in the field, and the model the rest of the portfolio is built from.
Operating project
Got Ngur Mini Grid
Got Ngur is our first operating renewable energy and carbon removal project. It demonstrates the commercial viability of our integrated platform, is listed with Rainbow under its biomass carbon removal and storage methodology, with the project design document still in draft, and is now scaling to a commercial 2.5 MW facility. No credits have been issued to date.

Scale up
The commercial scale up
Got Ngur is scaling to a commercial facility. Every figure below is a target for that scale up, not a result the plant has delivered.
2.5MW
Planned installed capacity
The exemption permits up to 2.5 MW installed, giving about 2 MW of output to distribute and sell. 2.5 MW is also the smallest configuration that is financially viable at grid parity tariffs.

Cumulative results
What Got Ngur has produced so far
Running totals from the operating pilot, counted from the start of the project.
350+
Tonnes of biochar produced
Since project inception
350+
Tonnes of CO2e removed
Since project inception. 100 tonnes CO2e a year over 3.5 operating years, under the Rainbow methodology. All removal, no avoidance.
The pipeline replicates the model that already runs here.
