Syncraft Builds High-Altitude Climate Positive Power Plant In The Swiss Alps - CleanTechnica

The article highlights a pioneering decentralized renewable energy project in the Swiss Alps by the cleantech company SYNCRAFT. The Engadine installation converts local forest residues into renewable electricity, usable heat, and biogenic carbon (biocoal), making it a climate-positive power plant. This approach not only generates clean energy but also sequesters carbon in solid form, contributing to long-term carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and supporting net-negative emissions goals. Central to the project is the CW1800-500 system, which integrates with existing infrastructure such as boilers and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) units. SYNCRAFT Automation’s advanced control platform is a key feature, enabling real-time data exchange, thermal circuit control, heat load balancing, indoor ventilation coordination, and overall system efficiency optimization. Despite the challenges of high-altitude construction, SYNCRAFT’s engineering teams have progressed with assembly, including pipework, electrical systems, and automation deployment. Manufactured in Europe to high industrial standards, the
