Smith, Jr. IAC Founder &amp; CEO.&nbsp;"This&nbsp;collaboration delivers scalable, affordable, and renewable energy options for industries seeking reliability, performance, and environmental stewardship."Unlike solar and wind, which&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;costly and inconsistent in&nbsp;operation, responsibly harvested biomass derived from abundant wood and agricultural materials presents a powerful and practical&nbsp;option. It's&nbsp;ideally suited for high-performance&nbsp;energy consumers&nbsp;such&nbsp;as&nbsp;data centers, manufacturers, and ESG-focused operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising productivity.TPC, with 43 locations, brings industry-leading sourcing and logistics capabilities to the table. The Price Companies is capable of processing over 30 million tons per year of wood chip materials. Which&nbsp;ensures&nbsp;a stable, long-term feedstock&nbsp;pipeline which is critical&nbsp;for dependable and&nbsp;scalable&nbsp;biomass&nbsp;energy&nbsp;production.IAC contributes large scale EPC capabilities and reputation to provide engineering, IAC OEM equipment supply and expertise, and process equipment to transform that feedstock into valuable renewable energy. At the core is IAC's patent-pending indirect arrayed Drop Tube Calciner (DTC), a groundbreaking system that enables 10-to-1 scalability over traditional rotary calcination technologies. A single facility built by IAC as an EPC Contractor using this system can achieve:<ul><li>Torrefied wood production: 100 tons per hour</li><li>Biochar production: 50 tons per hour</li><li>High-quality bioproducts include heat and syngas for energy generation or co- generation applications.</li></ul>IAC&nbsp;also&nbsp;brings&nbsp;a full product line of&nbsp;OEM technologies&nbsp;and support systems&nbsp;designed to ensure performance, efficiency, and rapid deployment:<ul><li>Syngas / Biogas Gas cleanup technology</li><li>Baghouses and dust collection systems for clean air compliance</li><li>Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (Wet ESPs) for fine particulate and acid mist control</li><li>Bulk material handling systems including conveyors, silos, and hoppers</li><li>Motor Control Centers (MCCs) and process automation for precision control and reliability</li><li>Drying, grinding, classification systems, and calciners engineered for biomass processing</li><li>Fast-track integrated cooperate capabilities are utilized to accelerate site construction, meet delivery commitments, and commission on time.</li></ul>Together, IAC and TPC offer the biomass&nbsp;industry a turnkey EPC model from raw material sourcing to facility design and delivery. The result: unparalleled efficiency, lower CAPEX/OPEX, and a renewable biomass solution ready to scale with industrial demand.Jack Carmical&nbsp;the Director of New Business Development for TPC stated,&nbsp;"We are excited to collaborate with IAC, as successful sustainable projects rely on large-scale, cost-effective technology."To assist with implementing these opportunities, IAC has chosen to work with the engineering firm&nbsp;PPS&nbsp;Services&nbsp;Group, known&nbsp;for&nbsp;its&nbsp;proven&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;in&nbsp;designing&nbsp;power&nbsp;plants&nbsp;specializing in biomass, wood, and alternative fuels, with over 40 plants completed."These biomass-based renewable products aren't just a bridge to the future,&nbsp;they are the future," said&nbsp;Michael&nbsp;Jones,&nbsp;IAC's&nbsp;Chief&nbsp;Technology&nbsp;Officer. "Whether&nbsp;powering&nbsp;hyperscale&nbsp;data&nbsp;centers, replacing coal in industrial furnaces, or enabling green steel production, this collaboration delivers a scalable, sustainable energy path forward."&nbsp;
