Comprehensive Business Plan
Geodyn Solutions 1000 MW Clean Coal Power Plant with CO₂ Algae Ponds, Greenhouse Integration, MSW, and Tire Recycling
Executive Summary
Geodyn Solutions proposes a 1000 MW clean coal power plant in Mongolia, integrating advanced carbon capture, CO₂-fed algae ponds, greenhouses, and waste-to-energy systems for municipal solid waste (MSW) and tire recycling. Leveraging Mongolia’s 26.8 billion tons of coal reserves, this project will generate 8.76 million MWh of clean electricity annually, with pricing options of $0.11/kWh or $0.17/kWh, depending on market conditions. CO₂ emissions will fuel algae biomass for biofuels, biochar, and food, while greenhouses produce high-value vegetables. The facility will also process 600–1,200 tons/day of MSW and tires, converting waste into energy and reducing landfill reliance.
With a $2.9 billion investment, annual revenues range from $1.35 billion (at $0.11/kWh) to $1.73 billion (at $0.17/kWh), yielding ROIs of 21.7% to 31.7% over 5 years and payback in 4.6 to 3.8 years, respectively. This initiative will create over 21,500 jobs, inject $360 million annually into Mongolia’s coal industry, and establish the country as a leader in sustainable energy innovation.
