Energy systems from Lusatia
Mission
pyropower at a glance
pyropower is a German group of companies for energy technology. We have been developing the technology since 2012, and pyropower GmbH was founded in 2022. We realise decentralised energy systems that generate power, usable process heat and CO₂-storing biochar from regional biomass. Our plants bind carbon permanently in biochar and enable companies and municipalities to decarbonise in a way that can be implemented immediately and is economically viable.
Vision
Imagine an industry without fossil energy …
Our vision is to make a significant contribution to decarbonising industry with CO₂-storing energy systems while providing solutions that are also economically convincing. We show that energy from residues creates real added value: for companies, for municipalities and for future generations.
"As the management team, we stand for consistently bringing together technology, economic viability, and climate protection. Our plants are the result of over a decade of experience and a deep understanding of our systems. We believe in solutions that work, storing CO₂, technically precise, and economically sound. For us, progress is not just an aspiration, but a measurable reality."

[ Structural change ]
From open-cast mining to energy technology
For decades, Lusatia was shaped by lignite. Today new industries are emerging here. In the region we develop and build energy systems that generate power and heat from residues and bind carbon in biochar.
[ Our location ]
We do not come from Silicon Valley. We come from Lusatia.
Our site in Cottbus gives us what we need to work as a team under one roof: office space for project and customer work and a spacious hangar as our production facility.
[ Our DNA ]
Development is in our DNA
We come from technology development and bring more than a decade of experience. Design, manufacturing and commissioning are all in one hand. That is why we know every detail of our plants.
Design
We design the turbine, burner, heat exchanger and plant in our own team.
Manufacturing
Everything is built in our hangar in Cottbus, close to the design team.
Installation and operation
Commissioning and support during operation come from the same team.
[ Milestones ]
From the first turbine to today
More than a decade of development, two companies, one common goal: energy from residues and waste heat, directly on site.

Frequently asked questions about pyropower
01 Who is pyropower?
pyropower GmbH is a technology company from Cottbus in Lusatia. It develops and builds decentralised energy systems: the Pyro-ClinX pyrolysis plant and ClinX Heat for power from waste heat. The managing directors are Lucie Töpfer and Sebastian Kießling.
02 Since when has pyropower existed?
pyropower GmbH was founded in 2022. The externally fired micro gas turbine technology has been developed within the group of companies since 2012. In 2024, pyropower acquired and integrated ClinX Energy Systems GmbH.
03 What is special about the technology?
pyropower combines pyrolysis with an externally fired micro gas turbine (EFGT). The turbine is driven by clean air via a heat exchanger and never comes into contact with the pyrolysis gas. This produces power, heat, biochar and CO₂ sink certificates in one process.
04 Where are pyropower plants in operation?
Plants of the group of companies are in operation in Germany and Switzerland, among other places. You will find current examples on the projects page.
05 What awards has pyropower received?
Among others, the Berlin Brandenburg Innovation Award 2025, the KfW Award Gründen 2024 as state winner for Brandenburg, the Brandenburg start-up award and, in 2026, the VORSPRUNG business award of the East German Economic Forum.
06 How can I work with pyropower?
As a customer, you start with project development or an energy security check. Sales partners can apply as a distributor. You will find open positions on the careers page.
