How we design

Reference designs

These are our working drawings, not photographs of finished projects. They are how we plan a site before anyone spends money, and they are the fastest way to judge whether we understand the work.

Read this first

Nothing on this page is a completed project. We are in our first year and we will not present a design as a built asset. What these show is how we think a site through: what sits where, what feeds what, and what gets measured. Delivered work appears on the projects page with dates and measurements, and the numbers are on the public scorecard.

Design 01

Integrated energy site

How we lay out a parcel so it carries more than one revenue line and delivers a steady feed to the substation.

One parcel of land, six things earning on it

Anyone can put panels on a field. What makes a site worth owning for twenty five years is how many revenue streams the same acre carries, and how steadily it can deliver power to the substation.

01 Solar array Generates through the middle of the day. Predictable, fastest to build, and the base of the site.
02 Wind, on the same parcel Often strongest when solar is weakest, early morning, evening and monsoon. Two sources on one lease and one connection.
03 Battery as a service Smooths both sources into a steady feed. This is what turns intermittent generation into power a buyer will contract for.
04 Cattle shed and digester Dung and crop residue become compressed biogas, and the digestate goes back to the field as organic manure.
05 Electrolyser and substation Surplus power that would otherwise be wasted makes green hydrogen. Everything else evacuates through one substation.
06 Water recharge Harvesting structures put monsoon runoff back into the ground, so the land under the plant improves instead of drying out.
AI LAYER Measuring all six Sensors and satellite imagery track output against expected performance, and land and water condition across the parcel. Not a separate product. It runs on every site.
Why one site instead of five. Land, approvals, evacuation and people are the expensive parts, and each of them is paid for once here instead of five times. Solar and wind cover different hours, storage makes the combined output contractable, and the biogas and hydrogen lines earn from what the site produces anyway. The land ends up wetter than it started, which is the opposite of what a conventional plant does to a parcel.
Design 02

Restoration block, in section

The four layers of a planted block and what happens below the ground line, which is where most of the value is built and none of it photographs.

AS WE TAKE IT Degraded, thin soil, water deep AS WE HAND IT BACK Four layers working on different clocks WATER TABLE RISEN 1. Native canopy Slow. Carbon and habitat. Pays nothing for years. 2. Biomass rows Fast. Cut on a short cycle. This pays for the protection. 3. Understory Arid horticulture, medicinal crops. 4. Soil Topsoil thickening, biochar worked in.
One block, in section. The left is what we lease. The right is what a lease term is meant to produce. The four layers run on deliberately different clocks, because the fast ones have to earn enough to keep the slow one alive. Most of the value being built here sits below the ground line, which is also the part nobody can photograph, and the reason we publish soil and water measurements rather than planting day pictures.
Design 03

The residue loop

What leaves a block, what comes back to the soil, and which outputs can actually be billed.

Land 20 TO 30 YR LEASE 01 Degraded or barren land leased from farmer or state 02 Multi tier planting fast biomass rows, slow native canopy 03 Harvest and residue first cuttings from year three 04 Pyrolysis and digester biochar and compressed biogas 05 Soil returned richer char and digestate back to the land BILLABLE. PAYERS ARE OBLIGATED OR SELF INTERESTED Durable carbon removal biochar carbon, sold to corporate buyers Biomass pellets thermal plant co firing requirement Compressed biogas GOBARdhan and CBG offtake Horticulture and MAP crops arid cash crops into existing mandis GIVEN AWAY FREE, BY DESIGN Clean air, watershed recharge, biodiversity These cannot be fenced, so we never bill for them. The company exists to produce them, which is exactly why it has to earn from the column above instead of depending on donations to survive.
The regenerative loop. Five stages that close on themselves, so land handed to us degraded goes back more fertile than we found it. The left column pays the bills. The right column is the reason the company exists. Keeping those two columns separate is the whole design.
Design 04

River health monitoring network

Paired stations either side of a discharge point, so a change is located to a stretch and a day rather than reported as a general condition.

RIVER, MONITORED REACH Discharge point Station 01 upstream reference Station 02 above discharge Station 03 below discharge Station 04 recovery reach EACH STATION MEASURES Dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, pH, temperature, flow rate, with time and position on every reading LOW BANDWIDTH CELLULAR UPLINK Data layer validation, drift calibration Model layer index, anomaly, trend Satellite imagery and rainfall records Public health index per reach, updated daily Divergence alert station against the one above Evidence record every reading, time stamped WHY PAIRED STATIONS A single reading proves nothing. Two stations either side of a discharge locate the cause.
Continuous river monitoring, in outline. The design decision that matters is pairing. One station tells you a river is dirty, which everybody already knows. A station above a discharge and another below it tells you which stretch changed and when, and that turns a complaint into evidence. Cleaning a river is measured in years, and without continuous readings there is no honest way to say whether the money spent on it worked.
