What We Offer

Three Turnkey Solutions

Choose the model that best matches your waste stream and financial objectives. All three are fully turnkey, modular, and deployable at scale.

Waste to Energy for Use
🏙️
Municipal Waste to Energy

Our standard plant ingests 150 tons of household waste directly from trucks and converts it to 6–11MW of usable electricity, 24/7, 365 days a year. Clean the air, clean the rivers — no landfills, and electricity for the community.

→ Powers 10,000 homes
Waste to Energy to Sell
🏭
Industrial Waste to Savings

Use the waste your company was discarding to make power for your factory or operation. Eliminate disposal costs entirely. Your waste stream becomes a cost center turned profit driver — and a planetary contribution.

→ Eliminate disposal costs
Waste to Data Center
⚡
Waste to Data Center Profit

Use the power you generate to join the clean data revolution. Power a green edge computing hub — the most profitable use of a kilowatt-hour on earth. This option also carries the most attractive financing available.

→ Up to $2M revenue/day
Under the Hood

The Technology

Powered by Hoskinson Group's patented pyrolytic gasification system — the world's most efficient waste-to-energy technology, proven across hundreds of installations over 50 years.

System Schematic Diagram
How the system works
1

Waste Input

Up to 150 tons/day of virtually any waste type — municipal, industrial, medical, hospital, tires. Accepts up to 65% humidity. No pre-sorting required.

2

Pyrolytic Gasification

High-heat, zero-oxygen environment molecularly deconstructs all waste materials, converting them into synthesis gases in a closed-loop system.

3

Steam Generation & Power

Resulting gases power steam turbines to generate 6–11MW of continuous, clean electricity. All gases and steam are reused within the closed loop.

4

Clean Byproducts

Outputs are inert rubbles and ash — no toxic emissions. Lower particulate pollution than any competing system. Approved in USA, Canada, and Costa Rica.

Hoskinson Group Waste to Energy Plant

Hoskinson Group's THG-150 is the first and most advanced waste-to-energy system in the world. Gordon Hoskinson began selling waste-to-energy plants over 50 years ago. The patented design continuously evolves — and today it stands as the highest uptime, most powerful output, and lowest maintenance solution available at any scale.

This system has been used to safely dispose of toxic, biological, hospital wastes and tires — with less particulate pollution than any competing technology. It is fully modular, deployable where your waste is, and engineered to run uninterrupted.

The Investment Case

Our waste-to-data plants represent one of the most compelling infrastructure investment opportunities available today — combining green energy fundamentals with data center economics.

Minimum Entry Investment
$10M
Monthly return (once operational) ~$1M/month
2-Year projected return ~$28M280%
5-Year projected return ~$69M690%
Plant operational life 25 Years
Equity position 10%JV stake
🏛️

Joint Venture Structure

$10M entry creates a 10% equity stake in the Thai parent JV company. Investor receives a board seat. The first $7.5M is structured as the foreign investment required by the debt capital provider to create the Thai-based joint venture entity.

💰

Capital Allocation

Seed capital flows into three buckets: $5M to Hoskinson Group for plant pre-production, $2.5M to Kaia-Data for data center infrastructure, and $2.5M to Kaia Energia for offtake marketing and operations.

📈

Revenue Streams

Profit comes from three simultaneous sources: edge compute data processing revenues, electricity sale to the grid, and waste intake fees. Combined, medium-capacity operations project $140–$200M annually.

🌍

Sovereign Partnership

The Kingdom of Thailand provides the waste stream, land, approvals, and government connections for expedited execution. Stark Networks (through Fox Petroleum Group) has committed remaining funding after partners have entered.

⏱️

Distribution Timeline

Distributions begin approximately 20 months after contract signing. Full return on $10M investment recovers within 9 months of operations commencing. Continuing distributions extend for the 25-year plant operational life.

Global Deployments

Active Projects

Kaia Energia is actively deploying waste-to-data infrastructure across multiple continents, with sovereign and institutional partners at each site.

The Data Opportunity

Cloud Rendering & Edge Compute

The most profitable use of a kilowatt-hour is data processing. Green, waste-powered electricity is the foundation for the next generation of sustainable data infrastructure.

"Cloud rendering is the most profitable use of a KWh. Make green power, render data. Using industrial power from household waste and ocean plastics to render data is a carbon-negative solution for the planet."
  • Global data processing demand is growing at an explosive rate — and the bottleneck is power, not compute
  • Waste-powered electricity is not only sustainable — it is cheaper per kWh than grid power in most markets
  • Carbon-negative credentials are increasingly required by enterprise data consumers and cloud tenants
  • Edge compute hubs positioned near waste sources reduce both energy transmission loss and data latency
  • Kaia Energia's waste-to-data model connects municipal waste contracts directly to recurring data revenue
  • Each 8MW plant can power a significant cloud rendering or edge computing facility running 24/7/365
