Turn Waste Biomass Into Firm, Carbon-Negative Power.
Parasol pyrolysis systems convert agricultural residues, forestry waste, and organic feedstocks into clean syngas for on-site power generation — producing biochar as a permanent carbon sink and soil amendment byproduct. Firm, dispatchable, and carbon-negative.
Dispatchable Power From Waste Feedstock
Pyrolysis thermally decomposes organic material in a low-oxygen environment, producing syngas that fuels Parasol generation assets and biochar that sequesters carbon permanently in soil. Unlike combustion, pyrolysis captures the energy value of biomass without direct burning — resulting in lower emissions, a permanent carbon credit stream, and a valuable agricultural byproduct. Parasol pyrolysis systems are containerized, EMS-integrated, and designed for co-location with agricultural, forestry, and industrial operations that generate continuous organic waste streams.
How Parasol Pyrolysis Works
Feedstock Preparation
Organic waste — crop residues, wood chips, forestry slash, or industrial biomass — is dried and sized for consistent feed into the pyrolysis reactor.
Thermal Decomposition
Feedstock enters the pyrolysis reactor, where it is heated to 400–700°C in a low-oxygen environment. The absence of combustion produces syngas and biochar rather than ash and CO₂.
Syngas Conditioning
Raw syngas is cleaned, cooled, and conditioned to remove tars and particulates — producing a consistent fuel gas suitable for Parasol generator sets and turbines.
Power Generation
Conditioned syngas fuels Parasol natural gas generator sets or turbines, producing firm, dispatchable electricity for behind-the-meter loads or grid export.
Biochar Recovery
Biochar is collected from the reactor, tested for carbon content and stability, and prepared for soil application or carbon credit certification — permanently sequestering carbon that would otherwise return to the atmosphere.
System Features
Containerized & Modular
Parasol pyrolysis units are containerized for rapid deployment and modular scaling. Multiple units can be arrayed to match available feedstock volume and power demand.
EMS Integration
The pyrolysis system operates under Parasol EMS control — coordinating feedstock feed rate, syngas output, and generator dispatch to match real-time load demand.
Biochar Carbon Credits
Biochar produced by the Parasol system qualifies for carbon credit certification under established biochar standards. Each tonne of biochar represents approximately 2–3 tonnes of CO₂ permanently sequestered.
Multiple Feedstock Compatible
Designed to process a wide range of organic feedstocks — rice husks, corn stover, wood chips, sugarcane bagasse, municipal green waste, and more — with adjustable reactor parameters for each feedstock type.
Low Emissions Profile
Pyrolysis produces significantly lower NOx, SOx, and particulate emissions than direct biomass combustion — meeting stringent air quality standards for near-community and agricultural deployments.
Hybrid System Ready
Parasol pyrolysis integrates with solar, battery storage, and natural gas generation in hybrid configurations — providing firm baseload power that complements intermittent renewables.
Compatible Feedstocks
Agricultural Residues
Rice husks, corn stover, wheat straw, sugarcane bagasse, cotton gin trash
Forestry Waste
Wood chips, sawdust, forestry slash, bark, logging residues
Energy Crops
Miscanthus, switchgrass, short-rotation coppice, bamboo
Industrial Biomass
Food processing waste, paper mill sludge, municipal green waste, yard trimmings
Applications
Agricultural Operations
Farms and co-ops with continuous crop residue streams can convert waste to on-site power while generating biochar for soil carbon improvement and carbon credit revenue.
Forestry & Timber
Sawmills, logging operations, and forestry companies can convert wood waste and slash into firm power for facility loads — eliminating disposal costs and generating carbon credits.
Remote & Off-Grid Power
Communities and industrial sites with access to biomass feedstock can achieve energy independence with a carbon-negative power source that requires no fuel supply chain.
Carbon Credit Projects
Landowners and project developers can deploy Parasol pyrolysis systems primarily for biochar carbon credit generation, with power output as a secondary revenue stream.
