About
Poás Bioenergy is a University of Michigan spinout (founded 2021, HQ Ann Arbor, MI) developing carbon-negative biomass gasification systems deployed with agribusiness partners in Costa Rica such as Nicoverde. Their technology converts agricultural waste into biochar (carbon sequestration + soil amendment) and syngas (clean thermal/electric energy), with a business model that shares carbon-credit revenue with smallholder farmers.
