Algorhythm Introduces Azure P2P™, a Renewable Power Generation Process Designed to Deliver Around-the-Clock Power

Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) introduced Azure P2P, a wood-to-electricity process at the center of its recently acquired Azure Holdings business.

Rhea-AI Summary

Algorhythm Holdings (NASDAQ: RIME) introduced Azure P2P, a wood-to-electricity process at the center of its recently acquired Azure Holdings business. The company describes the process as designed to turn low-value forest wood into renewable electricity capable of operating around the clock, without depending on wind or sunlight. Intended customers include data centers, utilities and industrial facilities.

The process starts with wood chips from forest tops, limbs, thinnings and other low-grade material. Chips are dried before entering a sealed, oxygen-free chamber, where heat breaks down the wood without burning it. This produces syngas, a fuel gas, and biochar, a solid carbon co-product. The gas is then burned to generate steam that drives electricity-producing turbines. The company identifies water captured during drying as an additional resource and potential revenue stream.

pyrolysis technical

"the pyrolysis-to-power process at the center of its recently acquired Azure Holdings business"

Pyrolysis is a heat-driven process that breaks down organic or plastic materials into simpler gases, liquids and solid carbon by heating them in the absence of oxygen; think of it as controlled charring that captures useful byproducts instead of burning them to ash. Investors care because pyrolysis can turn waste into saleable fuels, chemical feedstocks or carbon-rich solids, create new revenue streams, cut disposal costs and qualify for environmental credits, all of which affect a project’s economics and sustainability profile.

syngas technical

"The conversion process produces syngas, a clean fuel gas"

Syngas is a manufactured fuel gas made mainly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, produced by heating carbon-based materials (like coal, natural gas, biomass or waste) in a controlled, low-oxygen process—think of it as breaking raw ingredients into a simple cooking gas. Investors care because syngas can be turned into electricity, fuels or chemical feedstocks and its cost, efficiency and emissions profile directly affect project profits, regulatory compliance and long-term market demand.

biochar technical

"and biochar, a solid carbon co-product"

Biochar is a charcoal-like material made by heating organic waste (wood, crop residues, manure) in a low-oxygen process, then adding the stable carbon product to soil. It acts like a sponge and a long-term storage box: it can help soil hold water and nutrients while locking carbon away for decades. Investors care because biochar can create revenue from improved crop yields, waste-to-product businesses and emerging carbon-credit or sustainability markets.

• Pyrolysis-to-Power Process Converts Low-Value Forest Wood into Firm, Renewable Electricity
• Technology Produces Dispatchable Power Without Dependence on Wind or Sunlight
  
  

Fort Lauderdale, FL, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RIME) – a diversified holding company that owns and operates Azure Holdings, a renewable power plant developer, and SemiCab, an AI enabled logistics provider, today introduced Azure P2P^™, the pyrolysis-to-power process at the center of its recently acquired Azure Holdings business.

Azure P2P^™ is designed to convert low-value forest wood into renewable electricity capable of operating around the clock. Unlike intermittent renewable resources that depend on weather conditions, Azure P2P^™ uses renewable biomass as a continuously available fuel source, enabling power generation when customers need it.

The technology is being developed for large-scale power consumers, including data centers, utilities and industrial facilities where access to reliable power has become an increasingly important infrastructure requirement.

From Forest Residuals to Renewable Power

Azure P2P^™ begins with wood chips derived from lower-value portions of working forests, including tops, limbs, thinnings and other low-grade wood.

The process occurs in five primary stages:

1. Wood In: Low-grade forest material is processed into chips and delivered to the plant.
2. Drying: The chips are dried to a controlled moisture content. Water removed during this stage is captured as part of the process, creating an additional resource and potential revenue stream.
3. Conversion: The dried material enters a sealed, zero-oxygen chamber where heat breaks down the wood without burning it.
4. Syngas and Biochar: The conversion process produces syngas, a clean fuel gas, and biochar, a solid carbon co-product.
5. Power Generation: The syngas is combusted to raise steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
   
   

The result is renewable electricity that does not depend on wind or sunlight and can be available whenever customers require it up to 99.9999% uptime.

Firm, Renewable Power

The ability to generate power continuously is central to Azure P2P^™. Working forests regenerate the biomass used as feedstock, while the process itself does not depend on real-time weather conditions. The result is a renewable power source designed to operate around the clock.

Management believes this combination of renewability and dispatchability makes Azure P2P^™ particularly well suited for data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities and other power-intensive operations requiring high levels of reliability.

“Renewable power is increasingly important, but for large-scale power consumers, reliability is equally critical,” said Andrew Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Algorhythm Holdings. “A data center cannot simply stop operating when the sun sets or the wind stops blowing. Azure P2P^™ is designed to address both sides of that equation by providing renewable power from a fuel source capable of supporting continuous generation.”

Creating Value from an Underutilized Resource

Azure P2P^™ is designed to utilize forest materials with limited traditional commercial uses, including tops, limbs, thinnings and other low-grade wood rather than higher-value sawlogs used to manufacture lumber.

Creating commercial use for this material can also support active forest management. Thinning crowded stands gives remaining trees additional room to grow and removes material that can contribute to wildfire risk.

U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz recently highlighted the importance of these practices, stating that “Active forest management remains essential to creating resilient, productive forests,” during testimony before the House Agriculture Committee on July 22, 2026.
