About
NAKI accelerates the transition to a clean, affordable future by converting untreatable food industry sludge into valuable raw materials using a carbon-negative process. This on-site, end-to-end solution enables factories to produce biogas and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) feedstock, reducing emissions and generating new revenue streams. Naki's process contributes to the development of a local circular oil ecosystem, reduces landfill volumes, and lessens dependency on imported SAF feedstock. For every ton of Mida oil produced, NAKI saves 14.9 tons of CO2 emissions from disposal replacement, reduces 3.16 tons of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel replacement, and avoids 18.3 tons of CO2 emissions from incineration replacement.
