Pyro-ClinX
Pyro-ClinX generates green electricity, green heat, and permanently stores carbon.
With Pyro-ClinX technology, we combine pyrolysis with an externally fired micro gas turbine to simultaneously generate electricity, heat, biochar, and CO₂ certificates within a closed-loop system.
Input: Biomass & Residues
In Action
Energy sovereignty and value creation in a single system
Pyro-ClinX 150 reduces on-site energy costs, creates independence from market fluctuations, and unlocks two additional revenue streams through biochar and CO₂ certificates; all while achieving a carbon-negative footprint for regulatory compliance and reporting obligations.

Biomass
Green energy and CO₂ storage in a single system
With Pyro-ClinX, biomass is pyrolyzed in a continuous process. The resulting gases are completely combusted in a separate FLOX burner, and the generated heat is transferred to an innovative externally fired micro gas turbine via a high-temperature heat exchanger. This combination is technologically unique, increasing efficiency, service life, and operational reliability because the turbine never comes into direct contact with the exhaust gases.
At the same time, high-quality biochar is produced as a permanent carbon sink. As a result, the system combines energy production and carbon sequestration into a single, highly efficient process.
How it works
How Pyro-ClinX works
Residues
Untreated, woody residues and biomass from forestry, industry, or municipal maintenance serve as the input. Pyro-ClinX can also process inhomogeneous biomass that is completely unsuitable for conventional systems—without the need for complex pretreatment.
Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis is a thermal process in which organic materials like biomass are heated in the absence of oxygen. Due to the high temperatures, the materials decompose into three main products: a combustible gas, an oil, and solid biochar.
Biochar & CO₂ Certificates
The pyrolysis process produces high-quality biochar that complies with the EBC standard. It binds carbon permanently, serves as a soil conditioner, and can be marketed via carbon sink certificates to generate an additional revenue stream.
Pyrolysis Gas and Oil
The gases and oils generated during pyrolysis are energy-rich intermediate products. Within the Pyro-ClinX system, they are processed directly—without requiring external gas treatment or storage.
FLOX Burner
In a separate combustion chamber, the pyrolysis gases are completely oxidized flamelessly at up to 1,200 °C (FLOX = FLameless OXidation). The result is a clean hot gas for downstream energy conversion: low-emission and stable in continuous operation.
Externally Fired Micro Gas Turbine
The centerpiece of our process. Unlike conventional turbines, it is not directly fired; instead, it is driven by clean, compressed air via a high-temperature heat exchanger. This protects the turbine from contamination and enables 24/7 continuous operation.
Electricity & Heat
The micro gas turbine generates green electricity directly on-site. The waste heat is extracted as process heat at up to 550 °C, replacing fossil-fueled heat generators in industrial processes.
