About
Scotts Valley Energy Corporation (SVEC), a tribal enterprise of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, was established in late 2018 to develop a distributive network of small-scale bioenergy plants using pyrolysis/gasification technology that generate energy sold under 15-20 year agreements, with biochar as an additional revenue stream. In December 2024 the Lake County Planning Commission approved its Upper Lake biochar processing plant, which will convert forest woodchips into syngas to power generators, with the plant to be built on county-leased land under a 15-year lease. The company is listed as a biochar supplier on Puro.earth (Red Hills project, early development stage).
