In the business of upgrading the planet.

In the business of upgrading the planet.

As oil refinery veterans and chemistry PhDs, we’ve spent decades inside the world of extraction and crude oil cracking. But we asked ourselves:

How do we avoid more drilling, transporting and refining?
What raw materials are above-ground and abundant everywhere?
What kinds of sustainable, biodegradable products offer the most value? To whom?
Can we build a thriving business manufacturing and delivering premium products?

The answers led us to a clear opportunity: farms.

Few industries depend more heavily on petroleum-based inputs. And none have more to gain from cleaner, local alternatives.

Farms today run on oil and gas.

Agrochemicals, spray oils, fertilizers, and fuels account for around 70% of a farm’s single input expenses. Nearly all of them are derived from crude oil: drilled, transported, refined, and shipped across the globe before they ever reach a field.
1. EXTRACTION - Crude oil is drilled in remote locations and transported long distances. 2. CRACKING & REFINING - Energy-intensive refineries process it through multiple high-heat, high-pressure steps. 3. DISTRIBUTION - Finished products are shipped again to manufacturers, to resellers, and finally to farms. 1. EXTRACTION - Crude oil is drilled in remote locations and transported long distances. 2.

Farms have learned to treat these inputs as fixed.
 Unavoidable. Unchangeable. But what if they weren’t?

Built with an engineering mindset.

At Kata, we saw a clear opportunity: improve the inputs that farms depend on and manufacture them locally using mostly local feedstock. To accomplish this, we are guided by these core principles:
Adjuvants

Agrochemical carriers must be both high-performance and biodegradable.
Fertilizers

Fertilizers must deliver nutrients efficiently, without emissions-heavy production.
Fuels

Farm fuels must burn clean, perform reliably, and be insulated from global oil volatility.
Production

Everything must be produced locally, close to where farms actually operate.

Better farming with
Green Chemistry.

We invented a series of Kata Metabolizers guided by Green Chemistry principles. These modular reactors don’t require much more space than a few basketball courts, but they turn abundant sustainable raw materials into high-performance agricultural inputs following Material Metabolism principles.
