Green the
Desert.

TURNING SAND INTO SOIL

HyveGeo is building the intelligence and biological infrastructure layer for sovereign climate and food resilience in arid regions

2.0 Billion
10 Billion

Our unique formulation turns arid desert sand into arable soil, increasing crop yields while reducing fertilizers and irrigation

Yield increase in arid desert soil

Biochar

Our engineered black gold

We transform biogenic residues like agricultural and forestry waste into stable, carbon-rich biochar.

We engineer our biochar as carriers for bioactive compounds to enhance soil and plant health, including water and nutrient retention, structure and beneficial microbial ecosystems, while also generating high quality carbon removal credits.

Microalgae

Bioactives

Supercharging regeneration

We extract bioactive compounds from compost and microorganisms, including nutrients and biostimulative phytohormones that improve soil quality and plant resilience.

We charge our engineered biochar with these compounds, as well as inoculate with selected beneficial microbial ecosystems, to turn arid desert soil into arable land, boosting sustainable local food production while locking away carbon.

AI Soil Intelligence Layer

Accelerating impact

Soil is complex. Our Dawn platform puts arid soil intelligence in the hands of farmers, scientists, agronomists and biochar producers

Our agentic expert system helps accelerate soil formulation optimization and provides actionable intelligence grounded in science.

    Dr Francisco Martin Martinez

    Founding member Scientific Advisor

    Fran is a Lecturer at Swansea University and a Research Affiliate at MIT. He is a trained chemical engineer and works on materials for a circular economy. His work includes two main areas: How to design (computationally) and create materials out of waste and design materials for deconstruction and performance. The idea goes beyond recycling since the materials should be intrinsically created and reintegrated into the materials cycle. This is inspired by nature if we see nature’s circularity, for instance, in plants. In the big picture, it implies valorizing any type of waste and moving from a linear economy to a circular one using materials resources and their application. Some other areas he works on are energy storage, infrastructure, and agriculture.
