Excellence in Transition.
Building the technologies that power a cleaner, stronger America.
Built for What Comes Next
CarbonCore was founded on a simple belief: America’s industrial strength isn’t behind us – it’s ahead.
Our mission is to accelerate the nation’s transition to sustainable fuels and materials through scalable, data-driven design – combining modular gasification, Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, and AI-enabled process control into one fully integrated system.
From the heart of the U.S. industrial belt to the frontiers of clean technology, CarbonCore is developing the infrastructure that will power the next century – creating durable jobs, resilient supply chains, and the foundation for true energy independence.
What We’re Building - And Why
Phase 1 - Launching Now
We’re beginning with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) – produced through advanced gasification, syngas cleanup, and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis.
CarbonCore’s closed-loop system uses AI to analyze, predict, and optimize every process variable – from feedstock intake and heat recovery to hydrogen balance and quality control.
The result: a new benchmark for clean, scalable American fuel production.
Key focus areas:
- Modular gasification + FT synthesis
- Hydrogen, syngas, AI-driven control
SAF production aligned with U.S. and global carbon-reduction goals
Phase 2 - Expansion & Advanced Materials
With the foundation established, CarbonCore scales toward 40,000 barrels per day – expanding capacity while activating the advanced materials platform that connects energy and innovation.
Our graphene production initiative (CVD + LPE) transforms captured carbon into high-value materials for batteries, composites, and next-generation electronics.
Key focus areas:
- Scale SAF production toward 40,000 bpd
- AI-enhanced optimization and heat integration
- Graphene platform activation (CVD + LPE)
Phase 3 - Strategic Diversification
Beyond fuel, CarbonCore extends its mission into carbon innovation and resource recovery – ensuring every molecule of carbon is put to work.
From synthetic fuels and rare earth element recovery to advanced carbon materials, our long-term roadmap positions CarbonCore as a national center for advanced materials and energy independence.
• Rare earth element recovery (coal waste integration)
• Synthetic fuels and specialty carbon products
• Advanced materials R&D hub
Where We’re Building - And Why the U.S. Leads
We’re building in America because no nation is better equipped to industrialize cleanly at scale. From advanced manufacturing to AI, the U.S. has the talent, capital markets, and energy backbone to deliver reliable, low-carbon production that the world can trust.
CarbonCore’s commitment is simple: create durable U.S. jobs, upgrade critical infrastructure, and prove that the next era of clean industry can be built here – efficiently, transparently, and at global scale.
“I didn’t build CarbonCore to chase trends. I built it to prove that American ingenuity still defines the world’s future, with precision, resilience, and pride.”
— Michael A. McKenzie - Founder, President & CEO

Built for Generations
We’re not building to flip or exit. CarbonCore is creating durable infrastructure designed to serve the United States for decades – industrial systems that last, evolve, and strengthen the nation’s clean energy foundation.
AI-Driven, Human-Led
We use AI to elevate human capability, not replace it. From process control to predictive maintenance, our platforms keep people in command—combining human judgment with data-driven precision.
Rebuilding the Industrial Core
We’re proving that progress doesn’t have to come from elsewhere – America can build the systems, materials, and technologies that power the world again.
Engineered for Resilience
CarbonCore is built to withstand volatility – economic, environmental, and technological. Our modular systems and adaptive design philosophy ensure performance under any condition, anywhere in the world.
Why CarbonCore - And Why Now
We’re rebuilding America’s energy backbone – stronger, smarter, and built to last.
CarbonCore stands for a new industrial generation: reclaiming leadership in energy, materials, and manufacturing — and putting the United States back ahead of the world.
