Clean Energy from Mississippi’s Forests
power Generation
At Canopy, we go beyond creating biochar. Our advanced pyrolysis systems also generate renewable energy in the form of heat and syngas. This clean, reliable power helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels while making use of resources that would otherwise go to waste.
How Our Process Works
Feedstock Supply: We source sustainable forestry residues and abundant pine byproducts from Mississippi’s forestry industry and local operations.
Pyrolysis Conversion
Using advanced thermal conversion, biomass is processed in a low-oxygen environment to produce biochar while also releasing syngas and heat.
Outputs and Energy Recovery
The process yields high-quality biochar along with renewable energy from syngas and heat, which are captured and used for electricity or thermal applications. Nothing goes to waste.
Why It Matters
Renewable Energy: Every unit of energy we generate comes from sustainable forestry products, not coal or natural gas.
Resilient Communities: Local power production reduces strain on the grid and provides energy security for industries and municipalities.
Waste to Value: Instead of letting forestry residues decompose or burn without benefit, we transform them into both energy and long term carbon storage.
Applications of Canopy’s
Power Generation
Industrial Use: Provides clean process heat and electricity for factories and manufacturing plants.
Grid Integration: Supplies renewable electricity to utilities and independent power producers, supporting state and national clean energy goals.
Local Benefits: Helps stabilize rural power supply, lowers emissions, and keeps more energy dollars circulating in the community.
