Straight answers for serious power buyers
Kore is an infrastructure company. Infrastructure gets built by teams who know how to execute: regulated utilities, municipalities, industrial operators, land managers, and finance teams who don't tolerate ambiguity.
We partner with teams who think in portfolios: multi-site deployments, standardized builds, and repeatable economics.
-
No. Kore’s MX-1 modular pyrolysis reactor is non-combustion pyrolysis in an oxygen-free environment. If someone calls it “burning trash,” they’re using the wrong category.
-
No. Co-location is optional.
Kore projects can support your strategy through network deployments and, where applicable, book-and-claim structures and market
mechanisms. The right approach depends on your reporting, market rules, and offtake strategy.
Co-location is optional. The platform is also built for distributed deployments that roll up into a VPP and support book + trade strategies.
-
Carbon-negative potential is driven by the lifecycle profile of the system — including biocarbon outcomes and verified market structures. Specific results depend on feedstock, configuration, and credit programs.

Dispatchable electricity and Biocarbon
Different sites may prioritize different output mixes.
-
Modular systems are designed to compress timelines versus traditional plants. Actual timelines depend on site conditions, permitting, and integration requirements — but the target is months, not years.
-
Scalable by replication:
Add modules to increase capacity on a site
Deploy clusters across multiple sites
Build networks that behave like a virtual power plant
-
Typical installations are designed to fit in roughly ~1 acre, depending on configuration and site layout.
-
Primarily organic waste streams, including landfill-bound organics. Other eligible feedstocks can include agricultural and forestry residues where applicable and permitted.
-
Kore is non-combustion by design and engineered for ultra-low emissions profiles. It has been demonstrated in strict regulatory environments, including the South Coast AQMD airshed.
-
Kore’s LA deployment demonstrates that it can operate within one of the toughest airsheds in the U.S. Every site is still site-specific — but precedent matters.
-
Certain configurations are designed to handle challenging waste streams and may support destruction of specific contaminants (including PFAS in applicable feedstocks), subject to site-specific permitting and operating conditions.
Designed to address challenging contaminants in eligible feedstocks, subject to site-specific design and regulatory requirements.
-
It’s the operational model: Kore enables waste owners and site partners to divert eligible organic material into a conversion pathway that
produces energy outputs — without requiring them to become technology operators.
-
Kore built, owns and operated its modules, but project structures vary. Kore can support different development and operating models depending on the site, partner ecosystem, and finance plan.
-
Kore supports controllable, dispatchable output and modular redundancy strategies. It can integrate into microgrids and on-site generation
designs aligned with N+1 philosophies.
