NewYork GreenCloud Acquires Buena Vista Biomass Power Facility to Launch First Carbon-Negative AI Factory - CleanTechnica

NewYork GreenCloud (NYGC) has acquired the Buena Vista Biomass Power (BVBP) facility in Ione, California, with plans to transform it into its first large-scale carbon-negative AI Factory. This redevelopment, in partnership with biomass-to-pyrolysis engineering firm BucSha Energy, will upgrade the existing 18MW plant to a 41MW power facility. The site will generate renewable, baseload energy from regional biomass sources to power on-site AI infrastructure, including next-generation GPU clusters cooled by liquid systems. NYGC aims to deliver high-performance computing with a significantly reduced carbon footprint through this integration of biomass energy and advanced AI compute technologies. The project represents a blueprint for scalable, sustainable AI compute infrastructure, supported by Impact Capital Partners, which advised on financing and capital strategy. NYGC, BucSha Energy, and Impact Capital Partners are also exploring additional sites for similar conversions as part of a broader rollout planned between 2026 and 2028. NYGC focuses on developing carbon
