04 · GLOBAL ROADMAP
From Louisiana to the world’s most impacted regions
OUR FOCUS
Turning a global threat into a resource
FOCUS 1 · NOW · WATER HYACINTH
Eichhornia crassipes, one of the most invasive aquatic plants in the world.
FOCUS 2 · NEXT · OTHER INVASIVE SPECIES
Building on our experience with water hyacinth, we will extend the Cynthia® technology model to other invasive species.
Invasive species are among the leading causes of biodiversity loss worldwide. Our model is built to remove them at industrial scale and valorize them, one species at a time.
FOCUS 1 · WATER HYACINTH COVERAGE
Native to the Amazon, now invasive on five continents
AFRICA
Lake Victoria, the Nile, Niger and Congo rivers, Lake Malawi
ASIA
India, Bangladesh, southern China and South East Asia
AMERICAS
Louisiana, Texas and Florida, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean
EUROPE
Spain, Portugal and Italy
OCEANIA
Australia and the Pacific islands
WHERE WE START
Louisiana has a major water hyacinth problem.
Terrebonne Parish is among the most impacted regions in the state. Our Gibson site has direct access to the bayou and plenty of space to build our plant.
Louisiana alone could host a whole fleet of our harvesters.
THE ROADMAP
From Louisiana to the USA, then the world
PHASE 1 · NOW · LOUISIANA
Gibson, Terrebonne Parish: our first Cynthia® technology site, run by Cynthia Louisiana LLC, with its processing building, dock, fleet and full operational team.
PHASE 2 · USA
Expand across Louisiana’s parishes, then roll out to the other impacted waterways of the United States.
PHASE 3 · INTERNATIONAL
Replicate the model in the most impacted regions, starting with South East Asia and Africa.
THEN · OTHER INVASIVE SPECIES
Building on our experience with water hyacinth, we will extend the Cynthia® technology model to other invasive species.
