About Cielo
Business Strategy
Cielo’s goal is to be a leading producer of sustainable fuel while addressing the expanding global problem of wood by-products – including discarded hardwood railway ties.
Technology
Our Approach
We are technology agnostic, aiming to select best-in-class, commercially proven solutions to match the feedstock and desired fuel output of each project. Our focus is on project execution, feedstock control, regulatory alignment, and market delivery.
We intend to build facilities that process biomass to produce low-carbon fuels, targeting railway ties and other wood by-products as feedstock.
How It Works
- Feedstock Supply: Secure high-volume, difficult waste streams such as railway ties, municipal solid waste, and residual biomass.
- Conversion Process: Apply thermal or biochemical conversion technologies (depending on feedstock) to produce renewable hydrogen and/or RNG.
- Fuel Output: Deliver low-carbon fuels to industrial, transportation, and utility markets.
- Environmental Benefits: Avoid landfill methane emissions, eliminate toxic waste, and generate cleaner energy.
Why It's Different
- No dependency on large-scale water or electrical use (unlike electrolysis)
- Scalable and modular deployment
- Ability to process multiple feedstocks across projects
- Aligned with low-carbon fuel credit and renewable energy programs
