Bioport - Our company restores native grasslands

Grasslands have been destroyed

In just the last 10 years, the United States has lost more than 50 million acres of grasslands. The United States has now lost over 99% of its historic 170 million acres of tallgrass prairie.

Grasslands are as important as forests

There is a misconception that prairies — vast stretch of grass-dominated land — are negative space with no purpose or “flyover country.” But prairies were once as biodiverse as rainforests.

Bioport technology restores grasslands

Bioport’s genomics-driven restoration allows us to reintroduce native plants best adapted their exact climatic niche to help them endure environmental stress and thrive over time.

Our approach

Nature knows best

A successful prairie restoration is highly dependent on the specific characteristics of a site. Bioport is focused on reducing the coverage of invasive species, and restoring lands to the conditions optimal for biodiversity and stress tolerance.

Deep decarbonization

Above-ground grass residues can be annually harvested to enable deep decarbonization, for Bioport technology to transform into clean and sustainable biofuels to replace heavily-polluting fossil fuels.

Just and inclusive

Bioport is helping rural communities by providing high-paying jobs in a future-proof industry. We are committed to working with and seeking out environmental justice partners to achieve the best outcomes for all.
