Phytoprospecting:
Putting Plants to Work
IN Wastewater Resources to
Identify & Harvest Profitable Yields
Distinctive opportunity Oregon
Export
Products - quality nursery stock
Expertise - knowledge & systems
Collective expertise
1) SPROut - Sustainable Plant Research and Outreach Center
2) Diffuse research systems
3) Shared database BEST focus areas
clean energy production of high-
density energy feedstock from
wastewater
bio-products sequestration of
carbon in valuable biomass that
appreciates over time
green building & infrastructure
rain gardens as plant nurseries
Why this/why now?
Conventional wastewater
treatment energy consumption
and emissions not sustainable.
Mexico water remediation market
for Oregon innovation.
