About this episode
In this episode, we sit down with Agustin Rios, COO of Lignium Energy, to explore how the company is turning cow manure into clean, carbon-neutral energy through a process that converts farm waste into standardized biomass pellets. Agustin shares his journey from Chile to launching Lignium’s U.S. operations, breaks down the technology behind their mobile pilot and plans for a pre-production plant, and discusses business models, fundraising, and the environmental benefits of better manure management. We also touch on his upcoming seven-month world trip to connect with startup ecosystems around the globe.
