THE WORLD’S LEADING DEVELOPER OF CACTUS-BASED RENEWABLES

Our goals


WE ARE BRINGING THE NEXT GENERATION OF REGENERATIVE BIOPRODUCTS TO MARKET.


ENGINEER A PROFITABLE & SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

Opus’ business model is rooted in the belief that environmental initiatives and
net-zero projects can yield substantial profits for both our clients and our own
organization. Opus is a genuinely sustainable enterprise with an unequivocal
win-win-win proposition: the environment thrives, our clients prosper, and our
business flourishes.


GENERATE NATURAL CAPITAL

Natural capital refers to the finite resource of ecosystem services, which
includes clean air and water, fertile soil, productive oceans and forests, and
all of nature’s resources that contribute to human well-being. The more we take
from our natural resources without giving back, the less sustainable our world
becomes. Rather than exploiting natural capital, we are generating it.


INVESTING IN NATURE

We don’t battle against nature; we collaborate with it.  Our business model not
only delivers impressive project Internal Rate of Returns (IRRs) but also
rejuvenates previously marginal farmland, rendering it exceptionally productive.
Simultaneously, it fosters biodiversity growth through our innovative
regenerative farming practices.

INTRODUCING OUR CACTUS-BASED RENEWABLES


RENEWABLE ENERGY

Spineless opuntia is a commercially viable and scalable feedstock for bioenergy
which can be used to produce renewable natural gas, biodiesel, and sustainable
aviation fuel.  Opuntia addresses the biomass deficit which is a rate limiting
factor to the production of renewable energy produced from other biomethane
sources.  Many biomass sources introduce new issues such as […]

CONSUMABLES

Opuntia fruit and cladodes have long been a food source of cultural significance
in the Americas and Africa.  Oil can also be produced by cold-pressing the seeds
found within the opuntia fruit.   The UN FAO recently highlighted opuntia as a
commercial crop of significance to meet the global food demand and there has
been […]

SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK FEED

Not all livestock feed is created equal. Most crops are water, energy, and cost
intensive and can only be planted seasonally on arable irrigated land.  
Spineless opuntia thrives in semi-arid environments where growing crops like
maize, soy and lucerne is not viable due to water scarcity.  Opuntia is a
perennial plant with a productive […]

BIOLOGIC CARBON SEQUESTRATION

Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide and
storing the CO2 or the carbon comprising the CO2 for long periods of time. It is
one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the
goal of reducing global climate change.  Biologic carbon sequestration refers to
storage of atmospheric […]

DATA AND INSIGHTS


OPUS IN NUMBERS

CARBON CAPTURE

With less than half the rainfall, spineless cactus captures as much CO2 per
hectare per annum as a temperate forest.

2X - 10X

Fermented spineless Opuntia provides up to 10 times more crude protein per
hectare than soybean and 2 times more crude protein than lucerne per hectare.

ENERGY EQUIVALENTS

One hectare of spineless opuntia can reliably produce 6000-7500 litres of diesel
equivalent energy per hectare of arid land per year.
