FTF Energy

Cyrtan Energy, formerly known as FTF Energy, is a company that develops scalable, biomass-based energy generation systems designed to convert waste into clean power [1, 2, 4]. The company utilizes a proprietary, patented combustion process that transforms diverse plant-based feedstocks—such as wood chips, sawdust, agricultural residues, and paper pulp sludge—into a carbon-rich powder [3, 5, 8]. This powder is then combusted in their specialized generators to produce electricity and heat in a manner that is both smokeless and odorless, offering a more efficient alternative to traditional biomass technologies that often struggle with high ash production and maintenance issues [3, 5, 8].

For customers in industries such as paper manufacturing, forestry, and food processing, the company helps convert significant waste management liabilities into energy assets [4, 6]. By replacing costly waste disposal processes with on-site energy conversion, clients can reduce operational expenses, lower their carbon footprint, and potentially qualify for carbon credits [4, 7]. The company provides comprehensive services including engineering, procurement, construction, and ongoing operation and maintenance contracts [3, 4]. They have secured various contracts and partnerships, including a multi-million dollar agreement with a cocoa producer and demonstration projects with large corporations like Georgia-Pacific, supported by funding from organizations including the U.S. EPA, Cisco, and the Bank of New York Mellon [2, 4, 7].
