INNOVATING TO ZERO™
DR. FUNG FWEI CHONG
ASEAN-Scale Nature-Based Solutions for Source-Level Emission Elimination & Permanent Carbon Sinks.
The Problem (ASEAN Reality)
Across ASEAN, agriculture, wastewater, and degraded land emit multiple pollutants simultaneously, including:
- Ammonia (NH₃): Odour, PM2.5 formation, ecosystem stress
- Methane (CH₄) & Nitrous Oxide (N₂O): High impact GHGs
- Hydrogen Sulphide (H₂S): Toxicity & odour
- Isoprene (VOC) from stressed plants: Ground-level ozone & heat
- Potassium-40 (K-40) in mineral soils & waste: Long term risk
Most solutions treat these after release, are single-issue, or shift pollution elsewhere.
Our Core Insight
If emissions are prevented at source, they do not need to be captured later.
We redesign biological and soil systems so that pollutants are never emitted, but instead converted into nutrients, biomass, or stable carbon sinks.
The Solution (One Integrated System)
An ASEAN-ready, low-energy, nature-based platform combining:
- Beneficial microbial consortia (Bacillus musilaginosus, Frateuria aurantia, Pseudomonas, PSB, VAM, PPFM)
- Biochar as microbial infrastructure & carbon sink
- Oxygen-generating paddy & aquatic systems
- CAM & companion plants for night-time CO₂ capture
- Circular reuse of effluents as biological feedstock
This system operates 24/7, across land, water, and air.
What We Eliminate at Source
- Biological assimilation before volatilisation
- No chemical masking or off-site treatment
- Proven in duck farms & effluent ponds
- Suppressed methanogenesis & denitrification
- Oxygenated soils + microbial balance
- Lower emissions with maintained or higher yields
- Stressed plants stop emitting VOCs
- Healthy plants emit phytoncides instead
- Climate, air-quality & human health co-benefits
- Immobilised via mineral-solubilising microbes
- Reduced environmental mobility
- Converted into productive nutrient cycling
MEASURABLE IMPACT
Driving Sustainable Agricultural Outcomes
Pioneer in sustainable agricultural biotechnology, innovation, and research.
Developer of high-yield hybrid rice producing up to 16.5 tons per hectare.
Innovations that significantly reduce Malaysia’s dependence on rice imports.
Recipient of multiple national and international awards for sustainability and innovation.
Actively engaged in applied research, field trials, and agricultural implementation.
Champion of science-driven solutions for food security and sustainable agriculture.
Permanent Carbon Sink Formation
Unlike short-term biomass offsets, we create long-life sinks:
Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) via microbial biomass
Mineral carbonates via microbe-silicate-CO₂ reactions
Biochar-mineral-microbe composites
Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) via microbial biomass
Mineral carbonates via microbe-silicate-CO₂ reactions
Biochar-mineral-microbe
composites
These sinks persist for decades to centuries.
Scale & Proof
- Hundreds of acres under operation
- Oxygen-generating paddy fields
- Multiple large & small biological ponds
- Carbon moss & CAM-based cooling systems
- Biochar-based microbial infrastructure deployed at landscape scale
Systems are visible, measurable, and visitable.
