Natural State Renewables exists to power what comes next.
We produce carbon-negative energy from surplus forest biomass, starting with reliable power for data center operators and extending to sustainable aviation fuel, renewable naphtha, and permanent carbon removal.
Our first project, Project Nimbus, in Southern Arkansas (Buena Vista, Ouachita County), combines abundant local feedstock, ideal geology for carbon sequestration, and proven technology into a single integrated complex. The result is fast time to power, deep decarbonization, and competitive economics, scaling to 1GW by the early 2030s.
Project Nimbus: an integrated carbon-negative power complex
The demand for power is accelerating faster than the grid can keep up — data centers, AI infrastructure, and digital growth all need energy now. Too often, meeting that demand means falling back on power sources that harm the planet.
Project Nimbus is part of a broader renewable energy portfolio that begins with carbon-negative power generation and extends to the fuels that move the world. Built for AI, cloud, and data center operators who need power now, it gives large power users a faster path to energy without the environmental tradeoff.
Fast
~200 MW of initial capacity available by 2028, scalable to 1 GW by the early 2030s
Sustainable
Carbon Intensity score of [can we get this, to echo what we have under the SAF section?]
Secure
Abundant, price-stable feedstock supply and reliable production capacity
Scalable
A clear growth path from initial capacity to gigawatt scale, with low-impact expansion built in from day one
Sustainable Aviation Fuel made from forest biomass
By 2030, the aviation industry aims to produce at least 3 billion gallons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) per year.
Our Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is part of a broader renewable energy portfolio that begins with carbon-negative power generation and extends to the fuels that move the world.
Our fuel will offset carbon emissions with a deeply negative Carbon Intensity score thanks to the feedstock source, biomass-powered production, and carbon capture and sequestration. Produced from a surplus of forest biomass, not crops, it offers a secure, cost-effective supply source that doesn’t impact the food supply chain.
