Hemp Farms Australia is advancing PFAS phytoremediation in Australia through Phytogen Solutions — the joint venture delivery vehicle established with ENV Solutions — supported by C-Biotech’s Hempurizer+ technology and technical input. Together, this model brings hemp genetics, environmental delivery capability, and biological remediation support into one structured project pathway.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants found across industrial, defence, and agricultural sites in Australia. Conventional remediation methods are often costly, disruptive, and limited in effectiveness. There is growing interest in nature-based approaches — including phytoremediation — as complementary or alternative pathways.
Identified PFAS compounds
Australian sites under investigation
Persistence in soil
Provides hemp genetics, agronomy, crop deployment capability, and cultivation knowledge.
Provides field delivery, HSE, sampling mobilisation, and remediation project execution support.
Provides decades of remediation experience as well as the licensed Hempurizer+ formulation.
Phytogen Solutions is focused on progressing PFAS phytoremediation opportunities through a practical, project-led model.
Identifying suitable project opportunities by assessing site context and remediation objectives, deploying hemp-based phytoremediation pathways where appropriate, coordinating field implementation and environmental delivery, and advancing from trials and pilot programs to commercial application.
Each site requires its own technical, regulatory, and operational assessment, and suitability will depend on project-specific conditions.
This model is relevant to organisations and stakeholders exploring practical PFAS remediation pathways
Airports and aviation landholders, industrial and infrastructure sites, environmental consultants, landowners and site operators, and project partners and remediation stakeholders are progressing from trials and pilot work toward commercial application.
What differentiates this model is that it is not just a crop story, and not just an environmental services story. It combines:
proprietary hemp genetics and agronomic know-how from HFA
environmental delivery capability through ENV Solutions
licensed biological input and technical support from C-Biotech
a dedicated commercial vehicle in Phytogen Solutions
Phytogen Solutions is the vehicle created by Hemp Farms Australia and ENV Solutions to undertake PFAS phytoremediation projects, trials, and commercial works.
If you are assessing a PFAS-affected site, exploring a pilot opportunity, or considering a broader remediation pathway, we welcome confidential project discussions.
