The AI revolution is here, and it’s hungry—hungry for power. Data centers driving artificial intelligence, like the massive supercomputers behind groundbreaking research, are pushing the limits of energy infrastructure. At United Earth Energy, we’re stepping up with a game-changing solution: mobile pyrolysis systems that transform tires and waste into clean, scalable electricity. Imagine a world where AI’s insatiable demand meets sustainability head-on. Here is a perfect example where Tennessee’s 1.4 million illegally dumped tires become fuel for the future. Here’s how we can make it happen.
United Earth Energy offers mobile pyrolysis units that are scalable to convert waste, particularly end-of-life tires, into clean electricity. This process aims to sustainably power energy-intensive artificial intelligence data centers, exemplified by xAI's Memphis facility. The company highlights its technology's ability to meet the growing energy demands of AI, while also addressing environmental concerns by exceeding emissions standards and reducing tire waste. Furthermore, United Earth Energy emphasizes the economic benefits through the generation of renewable energy and carbon credits, positioning itself as a crucial partner for the burgeoning AI industry seeking sustainable and scalable power solutions.

The AI Power Crunch
AI data centers aren’t your average server farms. Take a facility like xAI’s Memphis hub, home to the Colossus supercomputer: it’s already pulling 99 MW with 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, aiming for 150 MW soon and potentially 300 MW by late 2025. Grid upgrades lag, and temporary natural gas generators—while effective—draw flak for emissions in places like South Memphis. The challenge? Deliver massive, reliable power fast, without choking the environment or the budget. That’s where United Earth Energy comes in.
Pyrolysis: Waste to Watts
Our mobile pyrolysis technology is a powerhouse in disguise. We take end-of-life tires and waste, heat them in an oxygen-free environment, and produce synthetic gas (syngas) that fuels generators. Each unit kicks out 4 MW of continuous electricity Per Hour—self-powered, no grid begging. Deploy four units, and you’ve got 16 MW Per Hour; ten, and it’s 40 MW Per Hour—enough to bridge gaps or replace dirtier stopgaps. In six months, UEE can scale to meet AI’s breakneck pace, whether it’s Colossus doubling computing power or new centers popping up globally.
Cleaner Than the Rest
Sustainability isn’t a buzzword for us—it’s engineered in. Our systems exceed EPA and TCEQ emissions standards, delivering NOx below 25 ppm (half what some gas turbines churn out) and controlling sulfur from tire rubber. Our lead engineer helped write the EPA regulations. Our goal is to be tire-specific certified by September 2025, building on our existing coal and carbon approvals. In a region like Memphis, a nonattainment zone for ozone, this matters. We’re not adding to the smog; we’re cutting it.
Tackling Tennessee’s Tire Crisis
Here’s the kicker: We don’t just power data centers—we solve a local nightmare. Tennessee’s 2020 TACIR report pegs illegal tire dumping at 1.4 million tires, costing $2.5 million yearly in cleanup and health risks. Each of our units consumes about 20 tons of tires daily—meaning ten units could chew through 73,000 tons a year, slashing stockpiles around Memphis and beyond. Landfills shrink, methane emissions drop, and AI gets its juice. It’s a win-win that turns a liability into an asset.
Green Credits and Big Wins
There’s more. Pyrolysis doesn’t just avoid waste—it earns rewards. By diverting tires from landfills (2-3 tons CO2e avoided per ton) and displacing fossil fuels, we generate renewable energy credits (RECs) at $5-$50 per MWh and carbon credits at $20-$50 per ton of CO2e. For a 200 Ton Per Day System running 24/7—384 MWh daily—that’s up to $19,200 in RECs a day, plus carbon savings. Data centers can offset their footprint, bank credits for optics, or sell them for profit. Power plus payoff.
Why AI Needs United Earth Energy
AI pioneers like xAI don’t wait for the grid to catch up—they innovate ahead of it. Our tech fits their mold: fast deployment and can be onsite, providing flexibility and a sustainability edge that silences critics. Beyond Memphis, we see a future where every AI data center runs partly on waste, utilizing United Earth Energy as the backbone. Imagine Colossus humming on tire-powered syngas or new hubs skipping gas entirely. We’re ready to partner, even inviting investment to lock in this vision—think vertical integration, Musk-style.
The Road Ahead
We’re not theorizing—we’re building. Our goal is to be operational with tire pyrolysis within six months, ready to meet the demand with an EPA stamp of approval. AI’s terawatt dreams are our mission.
