Turning Waste into Power for Mango Farming Communities
MangoWatt builds modular bio-refining units that extract oil from discarded mango seeds—millions of tons wasted annually—filter it through compressed wool filters using waste wool from the textile industry, and burn the purified bio-oil in quiet generators to produce electricity for cold storage and irrigation, reducing post-harvest losses by 40%.
A farmer dumps a wheelbarrow of rotten mangoes into the hopper, watches the machine automatically separate and crush seeds, sees golden oil flowing through wool filters, and 10 minutes later their entire cold storage room lights up and hums to life—powered entirely by what they used to burn in open pits.
