About the Model:

The Capricorn Power Integrated Bioenergy Power Station is a business that reduces carbon emissions and generates clean energy while providing a solution for waste management. By utilizing biowaste and producing heat and electricity, this business model offers a sustainable and profitable solution.

Business Customer Segments:

One of the possible customer segments for our business is the MSME units involved in food processing and manufacturing since biowaste generated in such units can be used as the raw material for our product. Additionally, our product can also be purchased and utilized by local crematoriums, apartments, and housing colonies. The residue from our product can be reused for agricultural purposes and provides a solution for biowaste disposal, which is otherwise a major cause of carbon emission into the atmosphere.

Customer Relationships:

We focus on maintaining strong relationships with our customers and integrating with them at a high level. To achieve this, we provide development, installation, and operation of our heat engines and power stations to any area of the country or even outside it. Our heat engines are customizable to meet the varying requirements of our clients. Our customer relations team fetches the specific requirements and preferences of the customers. Our service centers located across the country help us in providing timely repair and maintenance services to our customers. We use social media platforms and our website to connect with our customers and keep them informed about the latest market trends and product features.

Channels:

Government support is vital for channeling our business. We aim to educate the public about the adverse effects of carbon emission and introduce our product to diverse communities. To reach customers, we also utilize social media and our website for marketing purposes.

Key Partners:

Our primary sources of raw materials are housing colonies, local restaurants, local crematoriums, and food processing units. Disposing of food waste generates methane emissions, which are five times more harmful to the atmosphere than carbon emissions. Our product provides a complete solution to waste disposal and reduces carbon emission into the atmosphere.

Key Activities:

Our main activity involves collecting biowaste from different sources like housing colonies, local restaurants, and food processing units. The collected waste is then dumped into our heat engines, which convert it into electricity. The residue generated is biochar, which can be mixed with soil to reduce carbon emission into the atmosphere. The remaining heat generated can be utilized for different purposes like in factories and crematoriums.

Key Resources:

To make our business profitable, we require factories and research units to redevelop the heat engines more efficiently. We need to preserve and maintain all the necessary equipment and facilities. We use robotics and temperature control systems to accelerate progress. Our employees are knowledgeable and efficient to make the best use of all resources provided. Govt support for R&D activities can reduce our expenses and aids in establishing our products among customers.

Value Propositions:

Our product is environment-friendly, as it generates local production of electricity and heat throughout the year. The excess generated heat can be used for other purposes. The product provides a solution for biowaste disposal, reducing carbon emission into the atmosphere. The biochar residue generated can also be mixed with soil, which further reduces carbon emission.

Cost Structure:

Our costs mainly involve research and development and manufacturing, which increase with output quantity. Additionally, we incur tax costs with the government; employees and researchers Wages are provided.

Revenue Streams of the Business:

The company generates primary revenue through sales of heat engines and power stations. Revenue from selling electricity and biochar improves the cash flow. In addition to sales, management fees from the operation of integrated bioenergy power stations and carbon credit sales also contribute to the business's revenue streams.

Customer Persona of the Business:

This product targets mainly household women, local restaurant owners, and individuals living in housing colonies and apartments. People of all ages can use the product. Customers are not only concerned about carbon emissions, but also with the physical health of individuals. Carbon emissions are at a significant level from housing colonies, local restaurant chains, factories, apartments, etc. as they burn or dispose of waste, which emits methane gas that contributes four times to carbon emissions. Waste disposal solutions can also address health and hygiene public issues. Therefore, they introduced an integrated bioenergy power station to minimize carbon emissions by burning biowaste and using the heat generated for electricity. This will lead to fresh air and healthy individuals ultimately.

Design and Use Research:

The product design addresses the issue of bio-waste disposal and farm residues. If left undisposed, these can generate carbon emissions. Currently, the product caters to large communities and must be scaled down so that households can also use it. The excess heat can be used in the kitchen or for other purposes apart from electricity production. This can reduce the dependence on the public electricity distribution system and centralized waste disposal systems.

The product also addresses the issue of carbon emissions due to the burning of waste in public. If paddy field residue is left untouched, it may produce greenhouse gases that contribute 40 times to carbon emissions. The product, along with the power generator on a large scale, provides a solution for disposing of such biowaste. The solid residue from the product is biochar, which can be used as fertilizer or feed mix for livestock. The excess heat generated can also be used for other purposes besides electricity generation.

Sequoia Capital Model:
