Verenovo Energy Inc

Verenovo Energy Inc. is a biotechnology research company that specializes in turning biomass waste into high-performance biochar and clean thermal energy using a patented, modular pyrolysis system. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, the company utilizes its proprietary carbonization technology to create biochar that consistently achieves over 92% fixed carbon content. This material is designed for a variety of industrial and agricultural applications, including use as a soil conditioner, a carbon-neutral alternative in steelmaking, an input for concrete and brick manufacturing, and as a medium for advanced water filtration. The company's hardware is engineered for scalability and efficiency, featuring intelligent controls that allow for energy recapture from bio-gas generated during the pyrolysis process.

Verenovo’s solutions aim to provide industries with tools to cut emissions, meet sustainability targets, and replace fossil-based materials. By transforming underutilized waste from sawmills and forestry into value-added carbon products, the company seeks to revitalize local economies and support climate resilience. Verenovo actively collaborates with universities and institutions on research and development, and has secured support through various grants, such as the USDA Forest Service Wood Innovations Grant, to scale its production facilities. The company markets its premium biochar soil conditioner under the brand name Verochar, serving both the agricultural sector and larger industrial partners focused on reducing their carbon footprint.
