Why It Matters
The plant adds renewable capacity while creating a durable carbon sink, offering a scalable model for decarbonizing energy and industry across Europe.
Key Takeaways
- •Second 1 MW plant adds renewable electricity in Austria
- •Generates 1.4 MW heat, reducing fossil fuel demand
- •Produces 1,000 t biochar, sequestering 2,500 t CO₂
- •Demonstrates repeatable, bankable climate‑positive technology
- •Strengthens Syncraft’s European market expansion
Pulse Analysis
Climate‑positive power plants like Syncraft’s combine three value streams—electricity, heat and biochar—into a single, compact facility. By generating baseload renewable power and high‑temperature heat on site, they displace fossil generation while the biochar produced acts as a stable carbon sink, locking away CO₂ for centuries. This multi‑output approach maximizes the carbon‑removal impact per megawatt, making each installation a net‑negative asset rather than merely a clean‑energy source.
The business case rests on regional proximity and modular design. Placing plants close to end‑users cuts transmission losses and lowers infrastructure costs, while the predictable revenue from electricity, heat and carbon credits improves bankability. Syncraft’s repeat order from PurEnergy signals confidence in the technology’s operational reliability after a year of service, and it provides a template for utilities and industrial firms seeking integrated decarbonisation solutions without large upfront capital expenditures.
On a broader scale, the rollout of such plants supports Europe’s climate targets by delivering renewable capacity and measurable carbon removal in a single package. Policymakers are increasingly rewarding carbon‑negative projects through incentives and carbon‑pricing mechanisms, which can accelerate adoption. As more firms recognize the financial and environmental upside, climate‑positive power plants are poised to become a cornerstone of the continent’s transition to net‑zero, driving both energy security and long‑term carbon sequestration.

Syncraft to deliver a second climate‑positive power plant in Bruck an der Leitha (Austria)
When a customer chooses to reinvest after more than a year of successful operation, it sends a powerful signal. For European cleantech champion Syncraft, that signal now comes from long‑time partner PurEnergy, which has decided to order a second climate‑positive Syncraft power plant following the strong performance of their first joint project in Gänserndorf. The next step in this partnership will be realized in Bruck an der Leitha (Austria), where Syncraft will deliver another of its patented power plants, designed to produce renewable energy and permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere.
The new facility in Bruck an der Leitha will deliver:
-
1 MW base load of green electricity
-
1.4 MW base load of green heat
-
1,000 tonnes of green carbon (biochar) per year – carbon‑removal equivalent of plus 2,500 tonnes
This combination places the plant firmly in the category of climate‑positive infrastructure: it not only displaces fossil‑based power and heat, but also creates a durable carbon sink through high‑quality biochar production.
From First Success To Scaled Partnership
PurEnergy and Syncraft previously implemented a power plant in Gänserndorf that has been operating successfully for more than a year. The decision to commission a second plant reflects confidence in both the technical reliability and economic viability of the solution. As PurEnergy Managing Director Alfred Körner explains:
“Syncraft combines economically viable electricity and heat generation with the production of high‑quality green carbon. Exactly what is truly needed.”
That focus on high‑efficiency systems is central to Syncraft’s strategy: placing compact power plants close to energy consumers, minimizing transport distances and maximizing regional value creation.
With a second PurEnergy project now confirmed, Syncraft continues to build momentum in scaling climate‑positive power plants across Europe and beyond. Each additional installation expands not only renewable capacity, but also the world’s ability to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere.
In short, climate‑positive Syncraft power plants are a repeatable, bankable pillar of clean energy.
