OpusCactus is a company revolutionizing how we view and utilize semi-arid landscapes by developing next-generation bioproducts. They specialize in using spineless opuntia (cactus) to create sustainable solutions in areas like renewable energy, carbon sequestration, livestock feed, and consumables. Opuntia thrives in harsh, water-scarce environments, making it ideal for rehabilitating marginal lands. Their innovations include using cactus biomass for renewable energy production, such as biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel, and providing eco-friendly livestock feed that reduces resource intensity. Additionally, OpusCactus leverages the plant’s natural properties for biologic carbon sequestration and offers opuntia-based food and skincare products rich in essential nutrients and oils.
