Ethanol Revolution is an industrial equipment product company devoted to designing circular systems and co-creative economies that move beyond mere sustainability to revitalize both people and planet. Our Mission is to create a regenerative, circular model for repurposing agricultural waste toward the flourishing of economics and ecosystems. 

Our beachhead market is the cannabis industry because their biomass waste is considered a controlled hazardous material in California, and there is currently a monopoly on disposal. Because there is only one company that provides this service, it's costly and represents one of the largest monthly costs for a cannabis producer. Small producers are spending around 17K/month! They are ready for an alternative solution.

Our product, the WeGrow, is an ethanol distillation-based micro-factory that allows cannabis producers to convert biomass waste into products that they are already buying, such as ethanol, CO2, fertilizer, and energy. A producer spending 17K/month on waste disposal is also paying 8k for ethanol and 9k for power. The WeGrow promises to save them up to 34K/month before operating costs. Because of this we can fetch a great price for the machine and people can't afford not to buy it. 

The cannabis industry is at a stage where actors are desperate to compete, and cost reduction and efficiency is one of the only frontiers left. We created the key to providing a competitive advantage. Beyond the no-brainer financial incentive, our product also reduces impact and even enables ecological regeneration. 

We have several pilot sites lined up, and one is ready to go immediately. Our strategic pilot partner is also well-connected and respected in the industry and investment community. With his success story, we will be able to rapidly deploy our product across the industry. From there, we will move to other agricultural spaces, including seaweed. 

The Founder/CEO of Ethanol Revolution, Eli Whipple is a prolific builder and inventor who makes step-change innovations with every technology that he touches. He has been building distilleries since age 19, received his first patent at age 25, made massive advancements in biomass gasification, won the XPrize in 2018 and recently invented and productized the world's best biomass cookstove for developing countries. 

Eli and his team have been incubating this project and explore the market for the past 3 years and are ready to finish the product and launch it. Will you join us in catalyzing a major shift in business practice and ecological impact for cannabis and agriculture at large?
