Pyrolysis-to-Power. Carbon-negative by process.
P2P converts solid biomass into clean, dispatchable electricity and a biochar co-product through thermal decomposition in an oxygen-limited environment. Output follows feedstock rather than weather, so the plant dispatches on demand and holds a constant load.
Five stages. One controllable resource.
The process runs on proven thermal and steam-cycle equipment, integrated into a configuration that supports continuous, controllable output.
Feedstock
Regional biomass is received, processed into uniform chips and stored in silos sized for a multi-day operating buffer.
Everything the process makes works for the project.
Syngas
Combusted in dedicated boilers to drive power generation. A portion of the syngas heats the pyrolysis reaction itself, so the conversion sustains its own process heat.
Biochar
A stable, carbon-rich solid co-product. Sold into agricultural and industrial markets or sequestered, it locks biogenic carbon out of the atmosphere. This is what makes the process carbon-negative.
Carrier Gas
The circulating gas stream that moves the conversion products through the system, managed and recovered within the closed process loop.
The carbon stays locked in.
Every ton of biochar is a stable, carbon-rich solid that holds biogenic carbon out of the atmosphere. It is what makes the process carbon-negative.
Continuity is engineered into every functional block.
Redundant production trains, redundant fuel supply and multi-day on-site feedstock buffers decouple generation from upstream logistics. Where an off-taker requires the highest availability tiers, the design pairs with natural gas or grid backup so delivery holds through any single point of failure.
The result is a renewable resource engineered to a 99.9999 percent availability objective, delivered behind the meter.
Modular from 100 to 1,000 MW, built on a 500 MW representative design basis per Azure's professional engineering technology validation. Detailed engineering documentation is available to qualified parties under NDA.
Four layers between an outage and your load.
Every layer works independently. Click through how the design keeps delivering when something upstream does not cooperate.
Redundant production trains
▾The plant carries more production lines than rated load requires. Full output holds through planned maintenance or a forced outage on multiple lines at once, because spare trains pick up the duty.
Multi-day feedstock buffers
▾On-site fuel storage measured in days, not hours, decouples generation from upstream logistics. A weather event or supply interruption upstream does not reach the boilers.
Independent backup steam path
▾Where the off-take requires the highest availability tiers, natural gas boilers provide a separate steam source that shares nothing with the biomass fuel chain, so a common-mode fuel issue cannot take down all generation.
Storage and grid, in support
▾A battery energy storage system follows load in real time, absorbing spikes and dips while generation ramps. Grid connection stays in reserve for backup and peaking, never primary supply.
Built for the regional resource.
The process is feedstock-flexible across Southern Yellow Pine, hardwoods, sugarcane trash, Giant King Grass and other regional biomass sources depending on project location. Projects are sited against a viable feedstock basket, bringing steady demand back to working forest economies.
