The future of climate-positive energy generation

Innovative Reversepowerplants from Tyrol

At SYNCRAFT, we develop and produce innovative Reversepowerplants that herald a new era of sustainable energy generation. As a leading Austrian GreenTech company from Tyrol, we have perfected a technology that converts forest residues in the form of forest chips into multiple benefits while conserving resources: Electricity, heat, Green Gas and green carbon.

Climate-positive instead of climate-neutral: Minus-CO₂

What makes our technology truly revolutionary is that our plants actively remove _CO₂ from the atmosphere by producing green carbon. This dual strategy of defossilization and decarbonization is our contribution to actively counteracting climate change: our Reversepowerplants are not "just" climate-neutral - they are climate-positive.

Since our foundation in 2009, we have established ourselves as a leading provider of Minus-CO₂ in combination with sustainable energy generation. Our Reversepowerplants embody our "Reverse is forward" philosophy in every respect - they not only avoid CO₂ _emissions during energy generation, but also go a decisive step further.

Our core competencies:

• Renewable energy from a renewable resource
• Green Carbon as a valuable additional product
• Climate-positive technology: _Minus-CO2
• Contribution to sustainable defossilization & decarbonization

Value chain with multiple benefits

The green carbon obtained can replace fossil carbon in various applications - for example in steel production - and thus contribute to defossilization. If the green carbon is reused in such a way that the stored CO₂ remains bound in the long term - for example in building materials such as climate concrete - we speak of climate-positive and can thus contribute to decarbonization.

✔️ The result: Reversepowerplants turn _negative CO₂ into a new value chain - and energy into the future.

Why backwards and not simply power station? 

A conventional coal-fired power plant generates energy by burning fossil coal. This produces high_{CO2 emissions}, which pollute our environment and accelerate climate change.

A Reversepowerplant does exactly the opposite: instead of burning coal, it generates green carbon during energy generation and thus binds_CO2 in the long term.

The name Reversepowerplant

What is so special about innovations? They are nameless. Because if they already had a name, they wouldn't be an innovation. That was the starting point. Ultimately, the name came from the end product: green carbon. Because what coal-fired power plants burn in fossil form to generate energy, our Reversepowerplants produce as an additional product during the energy generation process.

By generating green carbon, we also actively remove and store_CO2 from the atmosphere. In this way, Reversepowerplants generate both clean energy and negative CO2_, enabling us to play an active role in climate protection.

💡Important fact: Negative emissions technologies are a key component of the global climate protection strategy.

How a Reversepowerplant works

_{Wood chips (left) become green carbon (right).}

Our Reversepowerplants use forest residues in the form of wood chips from sustainable forestry, which, if left unused in the forest, would release_CO2 as it decomposes. Reversepowerplants then generate heat, electricity, Green Gas and green carbon from the forest residues .

This process takes place in several steps:

1. Sustainable fuel forest residues
   The renewable raw material wood is used as fuel. As it is forest residues in the form of forest chips, no additional trees are felled to generate energy.
2. Thermochemical gasification
   In a special process, the forest residues are heated in a low-oxygen environment. This produces Green Gas, which can either be extracted directly using the hybrid function or reused in the Reversepowerplant to generate electricity and heat.
3. Production of green carbon
   As a valuable additional end product, Green Carbon is produced during energy generation, which stores around 30% of the_CO2 originally contained in the wood. Instead of releasing_CO2 into the atmosphere as in conventional combustion processes, we bind it permanently in green carbon.

Summarized and compared: Coal-fired power plant vs. Reversepowerplant

All-rounder end product: Green Carbon

The green carbon produced can be used sustainably - because its composition is comparable to anthracite and is therefore of extremely high quality for a wide range of applications. Here is a brief list - more on this in the next blog article on the topic Green Carbon.

• 🌱 1. agriculture & horticulture

• 🐄 2. animal husbandry, feed additives & stable hygiene

• 🏗️ 3. Construction & materials as a substitute for fossil carbon

• 🔬 4th industry & metallurgy forfossil-free production

• 🌊 5. water & wastewater treatment - filter material & pollutant binding

• 🏙️ 6. Urban greenery & climate adaptation: use in roof gardens, tree planting, urban farming

Reversepowerplants and climate protection

To achieve the global climate targets, it is not enough to reduce emissions - we need to actively remove_CO2 from the atmosphere. This is exactly where our Reversepowerplants come in:

• _{CO2 storage} instead of_{CO2 emissions}: Instead of burning fossil fuels and releasing CO2, the carbon is stored in a stable form that is not released back into the atmosphere.
• Use of regional and sustainable resources: We rely on forest residues from sustainable forestry - a renewable raw material from sensible forest management.
• Contribution to the energy transition: The renewable energy generated can replace fossil fuels in many areas and contributes to defossilization.
• Scalability and economic opportunities: The technology is viable both from a climate protection perspective and economically - because in addition to energy, Green Carbon also represents an additional source of income.

Reverse is forward: The future of sustainable energy production starts now

Our Reversepowerplants show that it is possible to generate renewable energy and remove_CO2 from the atmosphere at the same time. Our motto #BacktoForward stands for precisely this approach of actively promoting climate protection through innovative technologies.

Reversepowerplants are more than just an alternative energy source - they go one step ahead by going backwards. With the combination of sustainable energy generation and_{CO2 storage}, Reversepowerplants offer one of the most promising solutions for a climate-positive future.
