decarbonization actions that make a difference.

We are already witnessing the real‑world impacts of climate change that scientists once projected for the future. Global warming has accelerated significantly: in 2024, the Earth experienced the warmest year on record, with average global temperatures about 1.55 °C above pre‑industrial levels (1850‑1900). In 2025, temperatures remained extremely high around 1.44 °C above pre‑industrial averages, making it one of the three warmest years ever recorded. The recent three‑year period (2023–2025) was also the warmest on record, averaging about 1.48 °C above pre‑industrial conditions.

These rising temperatures are already linked to increasingly obvious climate impacts, including more frequent and severe natural disasters such as heatwaves, floods, droughts, and storms. This reality prompts an urgent question: are our mitigation and adaptation efforts including the targets and projections we established for the coming decade truly making a difference? While there has been progress in some areas such as the rapid growth of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy capacity, the magnitude of warming and the persistence of climate extremes indicate that current global action is still insufficient to slow the accelerating pace of climate change and to meet long‑term goals.

generizon’s approach – immediate climate action through proven technology.

Rather than waiting for speculative or emerging technologies to mature, generizon advocates for the rapid deployment of highly effective solutions that are ready to work today—specifically within the waste sector.

By focusing on high-impact, readily available technologies, we can secure fast, measurable emissions reductions and make concrete progress toward climate goals right now.

The Power of Anaerobic Digestion (AD) & Landfill Capture:

Immediate Decarbonization: AD processes organic waste into biogas and biomethane, which can be instantly deployed to decarbonize industries, generate renewable electricity, and replace fossil fuels.
Cost-Effective Carbon Capture: Capturing CH₄ and CO₂ directly from landfills and through AD is by far the most affordable and efficient carbon capture pathway available per tonne of CO₂ avoided.

Proven Solutions vs. Complex Alternatives.

Generizon’s solutions are completely proven and significantly more cost-effective than complex, hard-to-scale alternatives. We bypass the astronomical costs and technical hurdles associated with (just to name a few):

Direct Air Capture (DAC), fights thermodynamics.
Waste gasification has not been shown to work beyond a university lab.
Hydrogen production through electrolysis, needs massive amounts of renewable additionality (new green power) just to reach parity.
Fischer Tropsch is decades-old and notoriously complex and capital-intensive with a wide range of useless products as outputs.
Catalytic synthetic fuel reactors work, how get it done at scale, managing the logistics of carbon and H₂.
Speculative tech aimed at hard-to-decarbonize sectors, why not attack easy sectors (like the waste sector) first?

generizon’s integrated approach as a carbon offset project.

generizon has a strong commitment to decarbonization and focuses on developing and implementing an integrated approach to waste management and energy recovery. This approach combines several solutions including:

The mitigation and recovery of landfill gas (LFG) from both closed and ongoing landfill cells,
The implementation of Anaerobic Digestion for Source-Separated Organic Waste (SSOW) using a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR-AD),
The deployment of plug-flow anaerobic digestion for the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW), and
Composting dedicated to green waste.

This integrated approach primarily aims to decarbonize the waste sector by reducing methane emissions from landfills and by valorizing organic waste through biological treatment processes to optimize overall methane capture rates.

In addition, it contributes to the decarbonization of other sectors such as the power sector, as the renewable and carbon-negative electricity generated from biogas can be injected into the national grid, thereby partially replacing electricity produced from fossil fuel sources (coal, petroleum oil and natural gas).

the RDF component in generizon’s decarbonization solution.

Furthermore, the production of the higher-quality Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) through the sorting process of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), as well as the lower-quality RDF obtained from solar dried digestate as a by-product from the OFMSW treatment in a plug flow reactor, can contribute to the decarbonization of the cement sector.

The use of RDF as an alternative fuel in cement kilns can help reduce energy-related CO₂ emissions by partially replacing fossil fuels such as petcoke or coal. RDF can be classified into high-calorific and lower-calorific as mentioned before. The first (mainly fossil plastics) offers a higher heating value (LCV 16–19 MJ/kg), but fossil plastic only replaces another fossil fuel, fossil emissions remain the same.

The second, the lower-calorific RDF is mainly composed of organic material from OFMSW, mixed with some impurities such as plastics, textiles, and paper it offers a LCV of 12-14 MJ/kg. Since most of its organic content is biogenic carbon, lower-calorific RDF from dried digestate will play a more important role in mitigating carbon emissions in cement production.

In both cases, in addition to reducing energy-related CO₂ emission, the ash resulting from RDF combustion partially substitutes clinker in cement production, thereby reducing process-related emissions from the industrial processes and product use (IPPU) associated with clinker manufacturing (roughly 55% of all CO₂ emissions in the cement sector are due to the IPPU component, the calcination process and clinker production).

By targeting the waste sector with totally necessary (from a waste management perspective), relatively simple and scalable solutions, generizon’s approach generates.

Significant environmental value while substantially reducing the volume of waste disposed of in landfills, which remains a major global environmental challenge.
Produces a lot of renewable energy in the form of biogas, biomethane, and renewable electricity.
Captures methane and biogenic CO₂ in the most effective and cheapest way possible.
Helps the cement industry through two types of RDF production to accomplish its climate goals.
Hence, generizon’s integrated approach represents one of the most promising carbon offset project opportunities that should be developed in Morocco.

decarbonisation and government willingness.

While technological solutions such as CSTR-AD, plug-flow, composting, RDF utilization, and others are essential for reducing GHG emissions, technology alone is not sufficient to achieve full decarbonization. The current movement toward climate action is crucial, and the willingness of governments and stakeholders is another most needed factor.

Globally, many initiatives have been launched, including international conferences, pledges, short-term and long-term strategies, voluntary commitments, and climate agreements. Despite these efforts, progress remains limited, with many targets falling short and actions often delayed. Industrialized countries in particular have shown insufficient follow-through, prioritizing political statements over tangible results, and frequently relying on future technological promises rather than implementing immediate, low-cost mitigation measures.

In industrialized countries, strong government commitment is critical: effective decarbonization requires the implementation of binding policies, regulations, and economic instruments such as carbon taxes or emissions trading systems to drive behavioral change and ensure industries adopt low-carbon solutions. Without these frameworks, even the most advanced technologies may be underutilized, and emissions reductions will remain far below what is needed to meet climate targets.Similarly, in Morocco, although as a developing country with GHG emissions contributions relatively limited compared to major industrialized nations, it still holds significant potential to decarbonize several sectors as highlighted in its national climate and energy strategies. However, the waste sector in particular offers a huge potential but requires a strong political commitment and coordinated action to drive meaningful change. Achieving this transition will depend on the willingness of national authorities, municipalities, and ministries, as well as the development and enforcement of clear regulatory frameworks and supportive policies that encourage sustainable waste management and resource valorization.

carbon credit – ITMOs – voluntary market.

In generizon’s context, carbon markets will play an important role in accelerating decarbonization, particularly in developing countries. These mechanisms allow greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions achieved by specific projects to be quantified, verified, and traded as carbon credits, creating an additional financial incentive for climate action projects.

The mechanisms established under the Paris Agreement (PA) Article 6, an international compliance framework, enable countries to cooperate through the exchange of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), allowing emission reductions generated in one country to contribute to the climate targets of another.

In parallel, the Voluntary Carbon Market allows companies and organizations to voluntarily purchase carbon credits to compensate for their emissions or support climate projects. For countries like Morocco, carbon markets represent a significant opportunity to mobilize international climate finance, support projects such as waste-to-energy, anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas recovery, and accelerate the transition toward a low-carbon and circular economy.
