What makes a power plant carbon negative?

Carbon Negative Power Plants use biomass that has absorbed CO₂ from the atmosphere during growth. Through advanced gasification, they generate electricity while converting carbon into biochar—a stable form that remains sequestered for 1,000+ years. This results in net removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere, unlike conventional power plants that release carbon or even other renewables that are merely carbon neutral.

What biomass feedstocks can power these plants?

Our systems process agricultural and forestry waste including plywood production waste, forestry residues, rice husks, straw, corn waste, bagasse, Napier grass, municipal solid waste, bamboo, hemp, and moringa. Each plant is engineered for your specific feedstock type to optimize energy output and biochar quality.

How much electricity does each system produce?

The CNPP-1000 generates 1 MW (1000 kW), CNPP-2000 produces 2 MW (2000 kW), and CNPP-3000 delivers 3 MW (3000 kW) of continuous baseload power. All systems maintain energy conversion efficiency exceeding 1 kWh per kg of biomass feedstock with 24/7 operation independent of weather conditions.

Are these systems modular and scalable?

Yes. Each Carbon Negative Power Plant is a complete modular unit designed for specific capacity requirements. Multiple units can be deployed in parallel for larger operations or portfolio scaling across distributed sites.

Onsite Power | Behind-the-Meter Biomass Power for Agricultural Processors

We Fund it.
We Build It.
You use the Power.
At Below-Grid Cost.

CNP finances, builds, operates a biomass power plant on your site. You sign a long-term power agreement at a fixed $/kWh — below your current grid rate. We handle everything. You pay only for the electricity you use.
‍
"Unlike solar, onsite biomass power is 24/7 baseload — the same reliable supply you get from the grid, but generated on your own site at below-grid cost."

How it works

Biomass Feedstock

Agricultural biomass — rice husk, palm EFB, wood residues, sugarcane bagasse — fuels the system. As a by-product of your existing operations, it drives the power generation and carbon removal process.

Advanced Carbonisation

Biomass undergoes controlled thermal conversion in our patented low-oxygen environment, producing ultra-clean syngas and solid biochar. This process maximises energy recovery while capturing carbon in stable form.

Permanent Biochar Production

The carbon captured during gasification becomes biochar—a stable, solid form of carbon that remains sequestered for 1,000+ years. This is verified, permanent carbon removal.

Carbon Credit Generation

Every tonne of biochar produced generates verified carbon removal credits. CNP purchases these credits through long-term offtake agreements — an additional revenue stream for the life of the plant.
