Natural State Renewables exists to power what the world is building next, without harming the world of tomorrow
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
Carbon-negative power generation
~200 MW initial capacity available by 2028
Scalable to 1 GW by the early 2030s via firm power generation
Integrated bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) for carbon-negative output
Built for the AI, cloud, and data center operators who need power now
Sustainable Aviation Fuel
35MM gallons per year of SAF
14 MM gallons per year renewable naphtha
Drop-in fuel compatible with conventional jet engines
CI Score of -330 gCO₂eq/MJ (vs. conventional jet fuel +80 - +90)
Carbon capture and sequestration
Three distinct geological formations available nearby
No long-distance CO₂ pipelines required
Biomass boiler provides biogenic power for the entire complex
Eligible for 45Q federal tax credits and generated credits available for sale in voluntary carbon markets
Abundant local feedstock supply
4x supply within 100 miles of site
1.7x supply in surplus growth within 100 miles of site
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.
