What happens to the sawdust when you reclaim old-growth wood? This Week in Louisiana Agriculture (TWiLA) visited our team to find out. Reporter Neil Melancon saw how our bioHearth® gasification system turns wood waste into clean heat and power, and how the minerals left behind become a nutrient for agriculture.

From a modest pile of sawdust in Tickfaw to the forefront of Louisiana's clean energy movement, Waste to Energy Systems is transforming organic waste into green hydrogen and sustainable power. Featured in the Fall 2026 issue of the 10/12 Industry Report, our journey highlights how local innovation and the Future Use of Energy in Louisiana (FUEL) program are building a thriving, circular energy ecosystem.

Imagine running your facility on clean, renewable energy that never stops—even when the sun sets or storms roll in. While solar power is a fantastic investment, combining it with gasification creates a resilient, round-the-clock power system that turns your site's organic waste into reliable baseload energy.

Seasonal waste fluctuations shouldn't bring your energy production to a halt. Discover how to secure your gasifier’s feedstock and maintain continuous 24/7 power by turning supply chain challenges into a reliable, consistent fuel stream. Learn how strategic partnerships, like those with EcoGlobe, are helping operators close the loop on waste and keep their systems running at peak performance.

For energy-intensive operations like sawmills and food processors, rising electricity costs are no longer just a fluctuation—they are a structural threat to the bottom line. As grid capacity tightens and infrastructure costs climb, relying solely on traditional utilities is becoming an increasing liability. This article explores why the grid is hitting its limits, how industry leaders are building independence through on-site microgrids, and why your facility's most expensive waste stream might actually be your greatest untapped energy asset.

We’ve reached a major milestone! Waste to Energy Systems (WES) has been awarded a prestigious grant through the NSF-backed Future Use of Energy in Louisiana (FUEL) program. This funding is fueling our critical next step: proving out an accessible, carbon-negative pathway to produce high-purity green hydrogen entirely from organic waste.

We live in a world that produces an extraordinary amount of waste, from 38 million tons of food scraps sent to landfills to mountains of crop stalks and wood chips. But what if that trash was a resource? Discover how the circular economy’s secret weapon, biomass gasification, is converting this organic waste into a clean-burning gas for electricity and heat. This process is a loop, not a line, transforming disposal problems into a localized, reliable energy source and even producing biochar, a carbon-rich amendment to improve agricultural soil.

Understanding the main differences between burning waste and converting it to energy is essential, because it reframes waste not as something to be destroyed, but as a resource that can be transformed with greater control, efficiency and environmental performance. To start, let's begin by reviewing the definitions.
