Problem
Many industries face the challenge of decarbonizing their energy supply while also managing waste streams. Traditional methods of waste disposal, such as incineration or landfilling, contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution. Furthermore, energy-intensive pyrolysis systems often worsen the overall carbon footprint.
Solution
Pyropower offers the Pyro-ClinX, a pyrolysis-based combined heat and power (CHP) system designed for on-site energy generation with a negative carbon footprint. The system converts unused biomass, including mixed wood residues with high ash and bark content, into green electricity, heat, and biochar. By integrating a pyrolysis process with an externally fired micro gas turbine (EFGT), Pyro-ClinX generates renewable energy while simultaneously producing biochar, a valuable carbon sink. The system's design prioritizes energy autarky, allowing it to operate independently of external energy sources and enabling placement in locations with limited energy infrastructure.
Target Audience
The primary customers are industries and municipalities seeking to decarbonize their energy supply, reduce waste disposal costs, and generate renewable energy from biomass waste streams.
