About us
Belizeans behind the Mission
01·How it works
Collect. Convert. Power. Forecast.
Two inputs
Sargassum from Belize beachesSolid waste, not buried
One path →
01 · Collect
01
Collect
Sargassum off Belize sand first. Then solid waste. Same crews. Nothing buried.
02
Convert
Dried and broken down. Electricity instead of stench or a hole in the ground.
03
Power
Electricity for Belize. Residue back to the land. The waste stops being a bill.
04
Behind the meter
Homes and hotels see what they use, forecast the next day, and cut waste.

The Sarrgo facility
Where collection becomes conversion in Belize.
07·What it becomes
Explore our circular solutions
Collected once. Three planned outputs.
Power
Electricity for the coast
Sargassum first, then solid waste. Both become electricity in Belize, not a hole behind town.
- Lifted from the beach visitors booked, before it is hydrogen sulfide.
- Solid waste keeps the line running when the tide is quiet.
- Behind the meter, homes and hotels see what they use.
- Nothing buried.
02·Who this is for
Visitors. And the people who live here.
You flew in for the reef, the sand, the light. Belizeans pay the power bill every month. A gift here funds the first crews, the first tests, the first spark, and the meters that help homes and hotels use less.

03·Give
Fund the first spark in Belize.
We are early. Not a finished plant. The collection, the tests, the pilot, and the behind-the-meter tools that have to prove themselves first.
You finish on PayPal. Your details never touch this site. One-time gift, nothing recurring.
Where your gift goes
Three areas, described plainly. We are not showing a percentage split until we can stand behind the numbers.
Field and feedstock work
Lifting sargassum off Belize beaches first, then sorting solid waste so neither stream is buried.
The conversion pilot
The equipment that turns both feedstocks into electricity a coastal town can actually use.
Behind the meter, and the truth
Tools that help Belizeans save and forecast electricity, and publishing what works and what does not.
Fair questions
Is this a finished plant I am funding?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Sarrgo is early. Your gift funds the first work in Belize: collection, feedstock testing, behind-the-meter tools, and the pilot that has to prove itself before anything gets built at scale.
Where does my money go?
Into three areas: field and feedstock work, the conversion pilot, and behind-the-meter tools, plus publishing what we learn. We list them plainly above rather than showing a pie chart we cannot yet stand behind.
Why should a visitor to Belize give?
Because the beach you booked is the same beach the sargassum lands on. A gift funds the first collection and conversion work here, sargassum first, then solid waste, so the waste becomes electricity instead of a closed hotel or a hole in the ground.
What is behind-the-meter?
Tools on the building side of the meter. They help Belizean homes and hotels see what they use, forecast the next day, and cut waste. Same project. Different end of the wire.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. PayPal emails it when your gift goes through. It comes from PayPal, not from a system we built.
Who is behind Sarrgo, and is it tax-deductible?
Our legal status is [LEGAL STATUS: nonprofit or company] and we are based in Belize. Until the legal-status line is filled in on this page, please do not assume your gift is tax-deductible. Write to us and ask.
Why sargassum and solid waste together?
Sargassum is first. It arrives on the tide, in volume, on the coast visitors come for. Solid waste is second, so the plant still runs when the belt is quiet. We do not bury either.
