Waste becomes carbon.

We collect organic waste from Mexico City and transform it into hydrochar, a mineral grade carbon material that replaces mineral coal.

01 · Carbon
Who we are

Circular economy, at scale.

G2E is a pioneering Mexican technology firm dedicated to the circular economy. We capture urban organic waste, which traditionally generates greenhouse gases in landfills.

02 · Hydrochar
Who we are

Waste becomes high value material.

We convert organic waste into hydrochar, a sustainable replacement for mineral coal that regenerates agricultural soil and creates lasting carbon sequestration.

03 · Agriculture
Who we are

Barren land becomes productive.

Hydrochar restores farmland and facilitates the decarbonization of the steel industry, turning what cities discard into a foundation for regenerative growth.

04 · Impact
Who we are

From laboratory to urban infrastructure.

Collaborating with UNAM, the Mexican Government, and international stakeholders, we operate the world's largest hydrothermal carbonization plant dedicated to municipal organic waste.

Our Story2008 · 2027

Seven stages of a
single, living system.

From the first seed planted in rural Mexico to a continental scale decarbonization platform. Each milestone builds on the resilience of the one before it.

    Roots in rural Mexico

    NGO "Gente como Nosotros" is founded with a simple idea: create dignified jobs and improve life in isolated rural communities of Oaxaca.

    G2E is Born

    To bring gasification to industrial scale, we found G2E, convinced we could help decarbonize Mexican industry through waste.
