Industries We Serve
Built for industrial project realities.
TKO’s deepest experience is in biomass, biochar, wood products, and forest products — but our project development and management capabilities apply broadly across heavy industrial facilities.
Biochar
Biochar project development is one of TKO’s strongest areas. We help producers and project developers evaluate pyrolysis technologies, size facilities, develop realistic budgets, plan feedstock handling systems, and manage projects from concept through commissioning.
We understand the technical, commercial, and feedstock realities that make or break a biochar project — including the hard truths about carbon credit markets, offtake risk, and feedstock economics that many developers learn too late.
Biomass Energy
TKO has direct experience with biomass combustion systems, thermal energy production, and biomass power generation. We help owners evaluate technologies, develop project scopes, manage vendors, and execute biomass energy projects efficiently.
From small thermal systems serving a single facility to larger biomass power projects, TKO brings practical project leadership and realistic cost expectations.
Wood Pellets
From satellite pellet mill design to material handling system upgrades, TKO has hands-on experience with pellet mill project development and plant improvement. We understand the full pellet production process and the project challenges that come with it.
Whether you are building a new facility, adding capacity, or improving an existing plant, TKO brings practical project leadership and realistic expectations.
Sawmills & Forest Products
TKO’s founder spent six years as a plant engineer in sawmill operations. We understand the unique project challenges of 24/7 sawmill environments — tight outage windows, difficult material handling, basement cleanup problems, and by-product utilization opportunities that most consultants overlook.
We help mill owners execute capital projects and improvement initiatives efficiently, with a real understanding of what it takes to get work done around active production schedules.
Engineered Wood & OSB
TKO has direct plant-side experience in OSB manufacturing and engineered wood products. We understand the production process, the equipment, and the capital project challenges that come with these facilities — including complex material handling, drying systems, press operations, and environmental compliance.
Renewable Energy
TKO helps owners and developers evaluate and execute renewable energy projects that utilize biomass, biochar, agricultural residuals, and other carbon-rich feedstocks. Our focus is on projects where feedstock is a waste stream or low-cost by-product — turning a disposal problem into a revenue or energy source.
Waste Recycling & Landfill Diversion
If your company generates carbon-rich waste streams that cost money to dispose of, TKO can help you evaluate options to turn those streams into value — whether through biochar production, biomass energy, pelletization, or other conversion pathways.
We are realistic about what works and what doesn’t. Waste stream conversion projects look attractive on paper but often fail due to feedstock inconsistency, handling challenges, or unrealistic end-market assumptions. We help you understand the real picture before committing capital.
Agricultural By-Products
Agricultural residuals, processing by-products, and carbon-rich waste streams represent significant project opportunities. TKO helps agricultural companies evaluate technology options and develop practical projects that monetize these streams — with a realistic view of feedstock handling challenges.
