what we do
Shrimp production
We are a Fish 2.0 qualified company https://www.fish20.org/ One of our main focus areas is indoor aquaculture of clean, fresh and sustainable saltwater shrimps and prawns. We have one of the most experienced and world leading shrimp experts on our payroll. AquaPrawnics is currently building its first facility in Noxon, Montana, including hatchery and shrimp grow-out.
AquaPrawnics in a nutshell
Shrimp production is energy intensive. In order to cut costs, we generate our own energy from renewable biomass via pyrolysis. The by-product of that process is biochar. The waste from our shrimp operations, biochar and algae we produce is turned into an effective organic soil amendment (fertilizer), which is sold to farmers. Our utility does not produce any waste of its own.
Environmental benefits
- Eliminates air pollution due to burning Ag waste;
- Vastly reduces water pollution due to fertilizer run-off;
- Sequesters 8k tons Carbon per site per year;
- Reduces need for irrigation;
- Takes pressure off fisheries.
impacts on Environment and society
Eliminating CO2 emissions
The AquaPrawnics facility does not produce any waste of its own. One of our Standard Units eliminates and avoids roughly 8,000 tons of CO2 per year.
Increasing soil fertility
Organic matter in the soil is the root cause of all life. Without the organic matter in the soil, life on our planet would simply not exist. Using our soil amendment reduces the environmentally devastating effects of mineral fertilizers.
Creating jobs in rural areas
Since our utilities need to be positioned close to the generation of biomass, they are positioned in rural areas. These areas have often high unemployment. Our Standard Unit provides jobs for up to 20 employees in one location.
