Igniting The Future of Sustainable Hospitality
VISION
PYRO Converts Food Waste Into Renewable Fuel: Biochar
Our team uses the pre-existing technology of biochar pyrolysis, re-scales it to be a hospitality product, and re-contextualizes it for a sustainable hospitality industry.
MISSION
To ignite the future of sustainable hospitality by transforming
food waste into renewable fuel
PYROLYSIS
In Simple Terms...
​
Pyrolysis “cooks” organic material (food, cardboard, etc.) in an air-less environment at a high temperature. Pyrolyzing for 30-60 minutes creates a charcoal-like fuel: “biochar"
BIOCHAR
Biological charcoal, also known as “biochar,” is a charcoal-like carbon that can be created through pyrolysis of organic waste such as food or cardboard.
​
Historically, biochar has mainly been used in the agricultural industry. However, research shows that biochar can have diverse utilities in the hospitality industry — from food preservation to odor removal
SUSTAINABLE
CYCLE
When talking about sustainable hospitality, there is a crucial stakeholder missing from the conversation: the everyday person. Expecting independent business owners or regular consumers to shoulder the financial burden of sustainability without any immediate, short-term benefits is not feasible. Sustainability should be accessible and benefit all stakeholders
WHY PYRO
IMMEDIATE PAYBACK
PYRO breaks down this barrier to entry through a sustainable cycle business model that ensures owners receive immediate payback. PYRO offers an affordable and immediate solution to an everyday challenge in the hospitality industry—ensuring that everyday people can invest in feasible environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability without sacrificing financial sustainability
WHY PYRO
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
PYRO delivers sustainable value across environmental, social, and financial dimensions. By converting food waste into clean-burning renewable energy, PYRO helps reduce landfill waste while providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuels. The system not only protects the environment but also safeguards human health by eliminating the harmful carcinogens typically released through charcoal burning. For hospitality businesses, PYRO offers compelling financial advantages - reducing costs associated with wood and charcoal purchases while future-proofing operations against upcoming sustainability regulations and potential fines from local governments. With PYRO, sustainability and profitability work hand in hand.
