Organic waste
to baseload power
The modular pyrolysis reactor, MX-1, is Kore’s deployable platform for converting organic waste into baseload power and biocarbon without combustion.
Think of it as infrastructure you can add to your energy mix modular, repeatable, and designed to scale.
Technology Overview
Kore’s MX-1 is a modular, continuous pyrolysis system that converts steady organic waste streams into dispatchable power and stable biocarbon at the point of generation.
The system accepts heterogeneous landfill and biomass-derived feedstocks and thermally converts them in an oxygen-limited environment, producing a high-quality syngas for on-site power generation while retaining carbon in solid form as biocarbon.
Designed as pre-engineered, skid-mounted modules with a typical site footprint of one acre or less, MX-1 integrates into existing landfill and utility infrastructure and operates continuously without combustion.
The closed-loop architecture is self-powering once online, delivering reliable baseload electricity while permanently stabilizing a portion of the feedstock’s carbon in solid form rather than releasing it as atmospheric emissions.
specs and architecture

✓ Compatible with distributed siting and network buildouts
Commercial-scale readiness
✓ Proven at commercial scale in downtown Los Angeles (SoCalGas partnership)
✓ Built for real-world operations
✓ Deploys as modular units co-located at landfills
Integration-first engineering
✓ Interfaces with on-site generation, microgrids, and grid interconnects
✓ Designed for control, monitoring, and performance verification
✓ Built to support operational redundancy strategies
Energy outputs
Electricity
Clean, firm power generation or load-following needs.
Biocarbon
Stable carbon product with measurable lifecycle
benefits.
Dispatchability is the point.
Non-intermittent power with controllable output that can be shaped around load profiles and market signals.
Permitting advantage
Permitting risk is schedule risk. Schedule risk is capacity risk.
Kore Infrastructure approach helps reduce:
✓ Lower latency to load, tighter reliability posture
✓ Optional N+1 architecture through modular clustering
✓ On-site outputs that reduce exposure to fuel volatility and grid constraints
✓ Cleaner permitting posture than combustion-based waste-to-energy
