Problem
The accumulation of organic waste, such as overgrown brush, crop residues, and food waste, poses environmental challenges, including increased wildfire risks and landfill emissions. Simultaneously, the demand for reliable and clean baseload power continues to grow, requiring innovative solutions that minimize carbon emissions.
Solution
Arbor provides a carbon-negative power system that addresses both the waste management and clean energy challenges. The system converts organic waste into clean electricity using oxy-combustion and supercritical turbomachinery. For every ton of waste processed, the technology captures 1.7 tons of CO2, which is then permanently stored underground, preventing its re-entry into the atmosphere. This modular system offers a faster and cheaper deployment compared to traditional power plants, while actively removing legacy carbon emissions.
Target Audience
Arbor's primary customers include utility companies, municipalities, and industrial facilities seeking sustainable waste management solutions and carbon-negative power generation.
