Opportunity development

From first route review to full CDR opportunity development.

MSW2CDR is not positioned as a generic feasibility-study provider. We develop the end-to-end opportunity: identifying route-ready organic streams, connecting the essential stakeholders, aligning technology and processing options, clarifying claims boundaries, and defining the next implementation path.

Start opportunity developmentChoose your starting path

What the process does

It converts an existing organics system into a coordinated carbon-removal development roadmap.

The opening review is only the beginning. MSW2CDR then helps connect the material owner, the site, the hauler, the processor, the technology provider, the buyer or climate team, and any research or funding partners required to make the opportunity real.

  • Identify recurring organic waste streams and existing collection behavior.
  • Evaluate current diversion routes, processor options, and retrofit potential.
  • Clarify the fit with technologies such as biochar, HTC, AD + CO₂ capture, mineralization, and carbon-storing products.
  • Define the stakeholder network, evidence needs, and next-step implementation path.

Choose your starting point

Opportunity development starts where your material and decision-making already live.

Cities & public agencies

For public works, climate, circular economy, and zero-waste teams building municipal opportunity pipelines.

Focus
  • Organics programs, mandates, facilities, contracts, and community routes.
  • Which sites and streams can become early CDR opportunities.
  • How to coordinate public, private, and technical partners.
Develop a city opportunity

Controlled environments

For airports, venues, campuses, stadiums, zoos, retailers, hotels, hospitals, offices, and institutional properties.

Focus
  • Recurring site waste, existing organics bins, and operational behavior.
  • Location-based route signage and partner coordination.
  • Pilot design, sponsor value, and route verification.
Develop a site opportunity

Existing facility retrofits

For composters, organics processors, AD facilities, and sites with relevant biogenic outputs.

Focus
  • Current process, overs, digestate, CO₂ streams, and retrofit potential.
  • Technology fit, MRV needs, and buyer relevance.
  • Commercial and implementation pathways.
Develop a facility opportunity

Organic waste producers

For foodservice, grocery, hospitality, education, healthcare, and institutional generators.

Focus
  • Volume, composition, controllability, and route discipline.
  • How existing diversion can support higher-value outcomes.
  • Partner selection and site rollout logic.
Develop a producer opportunity

Technology providers

For companies offering processing, capture, stabilization, MRV, and carbon-storage solutions.

Focus
  • Which sites and materials fit the technology.
  • What partner network is needed to deploy successfully.
  • How to translate technical fit into a commercial roadmap.
Develop a technology opportunity

Carbon strategy teams

For buyers, corporate climate teams, funders, infrastructure partners, and sponsors.

Focus
  • Where credible future supply can emerge.
  • What coordination and evidence the market requires.
  • How to de-risk the path to durable removal.
