Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. (SGTM), an Orlando, Florida-based company, has announced the filing of 20 U.S. provisional patent applications. This portfolio, called the “SGTM 20-Patent Fortress™,” outlines an integrated ecosystem that converts waste into energy, soil amendments, and tokenized value. Invented by Tony Raynor and filed on November 13, 2025, the system aims to establish a closed-loop platform for waste management, agriculture, carbon credits, blockchain, and renewable energy markets. SGTM has indicated a target commercial launch for Q1 2026.  

The system is designed to address the challenge of global waste management, citing a figure of 2 billion tons of waste generated annually. Beyond simple disposal, the SGTM platform seeks to tackle associated issues such as soil degradation, which affects over 4 billion acres globally, and the need for verifiable, fraud-proof data in the carbon credit market. The company aims to provide a verifiable mechanism for converting this large-scale waste liability into marketable assets.  

The proposed solution integrates mobile pyrolysis, microbial soil products, and a blockchain-based verification layer. A core component is the #2 SGTM Gasifier Forge™, a mobile pyrolysis unit specified to process 1 ton of mixed waste per hour at 800°C. This process is designed to yield biochar and syngas. This output is complemented by the #4 SGTM Soil Matrix Core™, a regenerative soil product combining the biochar (30%), microbial consortia (60%), and organic matter (10%). Verification is central, using the #1 SGTM Live Proof Oracle™, a phone-based AI system designed to verify physical actions such as waste weight and energy output with 99.9% accuracy.  

According to the patent-pending specifications, the Gasifier Forge™ unit is expected to produce 400 kg of biochar and 500 kWh of power (from syngas) per ton of waste processed. The biochar component is cited to sequester 3.65 kg of CO₂e per kilogram. The Soil Matrix Core™ is designed to achieve a +0.5% annual increase in soil carbon, validated by Oracle scans. These physical outcomes are tokenized via the #5 SGTM Restore™ token, with each token representing 1 kilogram of verified CO₂e reduction.  

The SGTM patent filings represent a significant move toward vertically integrating biochar production with emerging financial technologies. For the broader biochar industry, the key takeaway is the emphasis on data verification. The “Live Proof Oracle™” concept highlights a growing market demand for immutable, transparent tracking of both carbon sequestration and waste diversion. This approach attempts to directly link physical biochar production and soil application to decentralized financial (DeFi) incentive structures. The success of this model will depend on the system’s performance in pilot programs and its ability to achieve commercial adoption in Q1 2026.
