Parasol pyrolysis power system
Pyrolysis Power Systems

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.

Overview

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

1

Feedstock Preparation

Organic waste — crop residues, wood chips, forestry slash, or industrial biomass — is dried and sized for consistent feed into the pyrolysis reactor.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Power Generation

Conditioned syngas fuels Parasol natural gas generator sets or turbines, producing firm, dispatchable electricity for behind-the-meter loads or grid export.

5

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.

Features

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.

Feedstocks

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

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.
