Tribal Pilot Projects

C21st Century, Inc. | Partnering with Tribal Nations for Sustainable Innovation

"Tribe owns — we build"

At C21st Century, Inc., we are launching a strategic pilot program with Native American Tribes to co-deploy compact biomass-to-energy systems. These pilots serve as demonstration projects to validate the technology, bring measurable environmental and energy benefits, and prepare for larger-scale grant-funded deployments.

Pilot Configuration (2025–2026)

We are offering to co-deploy the following units:

2 × 15 kW biomass gasification systems
1 × 30 kW biomass gasification system

The 15 kW units are working prototypes, while the 30 kW system will reflect the future full-scale configuration. All units are intended to operate on wood waste, agricultural residues, manure, or other organic feedstock available locally.

What the Tribe Provides

Letter of Interest (LOI) confirming willingness to host a pilot project
Access to land (small footprint) and feedstock
Commitment to jointly pursue grant funding (state, federal, and tribal-specific)
Optional: basic logistics or labor support

Ownership of the equipment will rest fully with the Tribe. C21st Century, Inc. will serve as the technical contractor under a project agreement.

System Output

Each unit is capable of producing:

Clean electricity and heat
Syngas (synthetic gas) for energy applications
Biochar, a stable form of carbon with soil improvement and carbon-credit potential

Systems are autonomous, containerized, and tailored for off-grid or hybrid applications.

System Components (Example Package)

Biomass Gasifier Core Unit
Syngas Cleaning Module
Power Generation Module (inverter-ready)
Biochar Collection
Feeding System (hopper, shredder, auger conveyors)
Vibrating screen for size sorting
Remote monitoring capability

Why This Matters

This pilot program enables your Nation to:

Address waste management challenges (wood, agri-residues, manure)
Reduce reliance on fossil energy in remote areas
Build tribal capacity for grant applications and long-term sustainability
Demonstrate environmental leadership and carbon sequestration potential through biochar
Gain firsthand experience with an emerging waste-to-value platform

Let’s Talk!

We are actively inviting Tribes interested in hosting pilot installations. We can support you in grant identification, application drafting, and technical integration. This partnership is non-binding and designed to build trust and shared benefit.
