What we do
Fueling a Greener Future with Pongamia
Revitalize land and communities around the world while decarbonizing transport with Terviva’s high-yield, low carbon, and rapidly scaling feedstock.
Pongamia is a climate-resilient tree which thrives in subtropical climates and can grow on underutilized land. It’s a carbon-sequestering, perennial crop used as a reforestation species across India and Southeast Asia.
Through an equitable and transparent supply chain, we produce crude pongamia oil, a second generation feedstock with an ultra-low CI score. It has the ability to be seamlessly converted into biodiesel, renewable diesel or sustainable aviation fuel as a drop-in replacement for fossil fuels.
ESTABLISHED, AVAILABLE, & SCALABLE
- Abundant & expansive wild harvest and orchard model supply chain.
- Terviva’s proprietary elite cultivars are high-yielding trees: producing up to 3-4 MT of pongamia beans per orchard acre planting (area dependent), an estimated 35-40% oil content can be extracted from the beans, maximizing productivity.
- Reliable & growing feedstock source: ongoing reforestation projects and orchard plantings globally.
- Global footprint: with supply centers across 3 continents.
- Exclusive IP: maximize crop yields and create high value fractions of pongamia beans, making Terviva the first to increase the value of pongamia for biofuel and additional applications.
Company's story
Our story
Founded in 2010, Terviva is a food and ag innovation company partnering with farmers to grow pongamia, a climate-resilient tree which produces abundant, protein- and oil-rich legumes.
Pongamia is uniquely suited to meet today’s environmental challenges. It sequesters carbon, improves soil health and water quality while growing on land where other crops can’t grow. This helps to avoid deforestation and revitalize agricultural lands and communities around the world.
After more than a decade of innovation, we’ve developed a way to harvest and transform pongamia beans into healthy and delicious food ingredients called Ponova®. From tree to plate, our transparent and equitable supply chain spans wild harvesting, non-GMO beans in India to regenerative land stewardship in Hawaii, Florida and Australia.
We believe there’s a better way to feed the world’s growing population and that local impact can drive global change.
