The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Oleo

This is a presentation for Oleo, a company that provides sustainable palm oil solutions. The company aims to solve the problem of conventional oilseed production, which relies on arable land and competes with our food system. Oleo utilizes untapped biomass waste through a four-step process involving recycled biomass, biomass deconstruction, fermentation, and finally, high-value oil feedstocks for producing biofuel/SAF and oleochemical products. This process is shown in a graphic illustrating the steps and their respective outputs. The presentation argues that this method can significantly reduce carbon emissions and has the potential to serve a $19.5 billion USD market. The company has established traction with feedstock suppliers and potential customers and is in the process of commercializing their technology, with a commercialization timeline outlined in the presentation. Oleo is actively seeking partnerships along its value chain with biomass waste producers, chemical manufacturers, consumer goods producers, and biofuel producers.
