Bio-energy

Renewable energy for our operations and reducing our carbon footprint.

Overview

GCS operates an renewable, integrated, combined heat and power (CHP) biomass pyrolysis process.  Our CHP process uses a single feedstock—wood—to produce bio-carbon, bio-oil, thermal energy and electricity. Our objective is to capture and use every element of the biomass released by the pyrolysis process.  GCS technology captures all the syngas energy generated by pyrolysis and converts it to heat, steam and electricity to drive the process.

Pyrolysis vapors, or syngas, that are not condensed to produce bio-oil are used to produce renewable bio-energy.  Our process produces more energy than it consumes and is designed and deployed without the need for additional energy infrastructure, increasing sustainability.

Our CHP pyrolysis process allows us to toggle between increased bio-oil production or increased steam and electricity providing significant operational flexibility.  All excess energy—heat, steam and electricity—is available for other value-add purposes.

Steam

Steam is used for a variety of purposes in many processes and industries…we couldn’t function in the modern world without it. Steam has been used to produce electrical power for many years. GCS uses steam to produce electricity and has the ability divert a portion of the steam to other processes and uses including the transfer of heat energy for pyrolysis operations.

bio-electricity

GCS pyrolysis is integrated into CHP production.  We harvest the energy stored in biomass to produce syngas, heat and electricity. Our bio-electricity is made from renewable biomass sources. The process is both flexible and energy-efficient—through our combined heat and power we produce all our own energy including, electricity resulting in a truly sustainable, self-sufficient operation.  GCS can produce additional electricity for the grid or other corporate users.
