Jord wants to revolutionize the fuel industry by producing biofuel from grass used to regenerate marginal and degraded soils. Jord's approach offers an alternative to fossil fuels whilst capturing more carbon than it emits.
This campaign's purpose is to finance the construction of a pressing facility to enable the production of biofuel from C4-grass in the Dominican Republic. 
Jord envisions a sustainable future for the Dominican Republic by producing CO2e-negative biofuel from regeneratively grown C4-grass, that can facilitate a transition towards renewable energy. In a broad sense, the project involves reducing the country's dependence on fossil fuels, preventing deforestation, and actively contributing to the restoration of marginal and degraded land. Jord believes that biofuel will play a pivotal role in steering the country toward a renewable, environmentally conscious, and resilient future.
The establishment of a pressing facility on one of Jord’s land plots will enable the production of biofuel from C4-grass, responding to the demonstrated local demand as signified by secured letters of intent. The next step in the sequence is to connect a pellet production line to increase the value of the biomass. A dedicated warehouse will be constructed to house pressing operations and manage inventory. Additionally, solar panels will be installed, fostering energy self-sufficiency.
The expected success of this initiative will provide a scalable model, for expansion within the Dominican Republic, across the region, and ultimately, on a global scale.
Promotion of sustainable fuel alternatives: Jord's operations yield approximately 36,000 tons of sustainable biofuel per 1,000 hectares of land with C4 grass, grown regeneratively. The sustainable biofuel is a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, that can be used in a wide range of industries.
Contribution to carbon removal and mitigation of climate change impacts: through a validated methodology, Jord promotes carbon storage in the soil and in the biomass above the soil. The methodology also avoids further carbon emissions, by enabling burning biofuel instead of fossil fuels. Replacing fossil fuel with biofuel from Jord's first unit can avoid approximately 30,000 tons of CO2 from being emitted to the atmosphere every year.
Restoration of degraded soil’s health and productivity: Within Jord’s business model, the land used for the C4 grass production, processed as biofuel, is marginal and degraded land – which means that those areas that are poor in nutrition and/or are not being used for agriculture are used with a better purpose.
The land is managed with a holistic regenerative agronomic plan in which from 8 to 12 years, the land goes through a regeneration phase, storing CO2 underground and nutrients from the biomass of the C4 grass. After that, comes a phase of around 2 years of food or commercial farming crops.
Sustainable production practices and decoupling growth from environmental degradation: At this stage, Jord's local factory is set to be 100% self-sustainable, utilizing no external grid resources. At the same time, Jord’s activities create jobs and aim for few to no layoffs resulting from the repurposing of coal factories.
