Drop-in coal alternatives from sustainable biomass.
Water-resistant wood pellets that replace coal without replacing your plant. Built on patented hot water extraction technology.
We are building a biorefining platform that replaces coal, restores forest economies, and makes rural mills relevant again.

We Are On a Mission
We built ABS to solve two problems at once
Give coal-dependent utilities a viable path forward, and create durable economic value from forest biomass that has been without a market since the paper industry collapsed.
Our Solution
Pellets that make perfect sense
The same hot water extraction process that makes the pellets also produces a renewable natural gas co-product, which lowers our breakeven cost and improves the economics behind every ton sold.
Water Resistant
Offering flexible storage, more shipping routes, and lower converstion costs.
Coal-cost Competitive
Target price matches $/GJ of API-2 coal + ETS at Rotterdam
No Major Retrofit
Minimal refits expected for use in existing coal infrastructure
Sustainably Sourced
Made from waste and residual biomass that would otherwise rot or burn
World Class Team
An MBA, PhD and PE team with hands-on training and experience across notable institutions and companies.
Requested Tests
Test burn requests from German and Dutch Utilities, a Japanese Trading House, and a US Industrial Customer

About ABS
ABS was founded by pulp and paper veterans who watched mill closures gut forest communities.
That experience built a patented platform, hot water extraction, designed to run on equipment the industry already has, not equipment it has to buy.
Traditional white pellets fall apart in water and need indoor storage.
ABS pellets hold up after 15 minutes fully submerged, which means outdoor storage, more shipping routes, and lower conversion costs for the utility burning them. Enviva, the world's largest pellet producer, and Drax, the world's largest pellet buyer, have both expressed licensing interest, the kind of validation that's hard to manufacture.
