Juneau, Alaska Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Akbev Group, LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for their innovative approach to sustainable energy. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11866669, titled ‘High protein organic materials as fuel and processes for making the same’, introduces a novel method for converting high-protein organic waste into clean, efficient fuel.
This breakthrough technology focuses on transforming agricultural and industrial by-products, such as oilseed pulp and meat processing waste, into viable fuel sources. By mechanically reducing moisture content and pulverizing these materials to a fine powder, the process enhances their combustibility. The finely ground organic waste is then introduced into a combustion chamber, where controlled conditions facilitate efficient burning.
What sets this invention apart is its ability to address environmental concerns associated with hazardous compounds like PFAS – commonly known as “forever chemicals.” The combustion process is designed to degrade these persistent pollutants into less harmful substances, effectively mitigating their environmental impact.
Beyond its environmental benefits, this technology offers a practical solution for managing organic waste, turning potential pollutants into valuable energy resources. As industries seek sustainable alternatives to traditional fuels, Akbev Group’s innovation paves the way for cleaner, more efficient energy production.
