Turning waste into clean energy.

The problem

The bourbon industry faces a significant challenge in effectively managing stillage waste, particularly in Kentucky where 95% of the world’s bourbon supply is produced. The production process generates a substantial amount of stillage waste, with approximately 10 bottles of waste produced for every bottle of bourbon. This accumulation of waste poses a growing problem for distilleries, leading to production disruptions until proper disposal measures are implemented.

In addition to the pressing issue of stillage waste, the urgent matter of climate change is a top concern. We bear the responsibility for the rising global temperatures resulting from our actions. Addressing this unprecedented challenge necessitates immediate action and substantial changes to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Furthermore, the rapid advancements in our society, such as artificial intelligence (AI), will lead to a significant increase in energy demand. It is projected that energy demand could triple within the next two decades. In order to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and expand our capacity, it is crucial to focus on clean electricity as a critical component.


We provide distilleries with a sustainable method for disposing of their stillage waste. By consistently taking their stillage, distilleries can operate without facing any production shutdowns.

We utilize a biofuel production process to convert the stillage into carbon-neutral hydrogen fuel. This hydrogen fuel serves as a clean and renewable energy source, capable of replacing fossil fuels and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Our process also contributes to clean energy production for the grid,
resulting in reliable capacity without any harmful environmental impacts. The fuel cells we employ only produce water as a byproduct.
