Green Solution is the waste-to-energy company

Specialized in producing biodiesel from landfill waste,

Industrial waste, medical waste, and other bio-waste from other resources.

Green Solution is providing a solution to the main problem of the country-

Electricity and landfill waste.

They don’t know how to convert it into waste-to-energy.

Green Solution is providing service through partnership with LGU.

Well, number one is we eliminate the piling of waste in the landfill.

The second is providing a low-cost biofuel to the country.

And the third is we’re limiting the presence of all the plastic waste in our area.

We’re aiming to be the first unicorn startup company

That could provide a solution

To the number one problem in the country

Including the waste management and the electricity.

Shell LiveWIRE helps us to build network.

They introduce us to the other community

And the other people inside,

Like my fellow startup also.

We do business-to-business, communications,

And other mentors help us to boost our confidence

In terms of this project.

They help us to grow also our startup

To be sustainable and scale-up ready.

Both Engineer Deus and I, we’re both environmentalists.

The business model that we use is a pay-go system.

We incorporated pay-go system so that everyone

Avail our service, the passive cooling services.

It means that everyone should be able to access passive cooling,

Even with no new money involved.

We have over 24 million Filipino people

Who are forced to live in such extreme conditions.

Now, the challenge for the government

Is how to equitably serve cooling

Without multiplying the negative impact

And undermining the energy transition.

We can provide passive cooling to all these

Underserved Filipino people without the use of energy.

Passive cooling mitigates the use or dependence on mechanical cooling.

When we talk about mechanical cooling,

It means to say that it consumes energy.

Once we mitigate the dependence on mechanical cooling,

Then we are able to contribute on

The sustainable growth of not only in the economy,

But also on our energy security.

We’re creating a new industry, it’s an industry in energy efficiency.

Before coming here to Shell LiveWIRE,

I am very confident to say that my company is fundable.

But because they really dig deeper, it humbled me.

They really can point to you what you need,

What you’re not, and what you need to be.

And I am really grateful.

So thank you, Shell LiveWIRE.

We have solar panels and wind turbines as solutions for our electricity problems.

70% of our planet is the ocean.

Then, why aren’t we creating the technology to harness the electric power from the ocean?

Saltric’s technology, the tidal turbines, isn’t something new.

First, we want it to be safe.

It’s not like fossil fuels that emit carbon emission.

Tidal turbine does not emit smoke. Second, it is affordable.

It's not like nuclear and hydro power plants that take a fortune to make.

Solar panels and wind turbines aren’t reliable 24/7.

But, the ocean’s flow, the sea, rivers, lakes, all these are moving 24/7.

The unique features that set Saltric apart

From all the other turbine technology companies is that

They all started out with engineers as their founders.

Here at Saltric, I am not an engineer. I learned from scratch.

Last year, I wasn’t a part of the top 10. Of course, I was sad.

It is my third time trying out for Shell LiveWIRE

And this year, I thought, do I still have to?

But still, I tried to pitch and luckily,

I was so happy because Saltric was one of the three chosen.

I also enjoyed being with Shell’s team,

They really help you improve your business idea.

I started all of this from scratch

All I invested in was courage.
