Circular Economy
Heat and CO₂ from power generation feed greenhouses instead of going to waste. Smarter inputs, better yields.

Project Everberry applies the EnergiAcres smart-energy model—turning heat and CO₂ into year-round local food, jobs, and agritourism, starting in Wheeling, WV.
Guided by ARC planning support and a growing tri-state partner network.
Project status
Where Everberry stands today
We report status plainly: what is in place, what is in design, and what is still ahead.
In place
ARC ARISE planning award
Appalachian Regional Commission planning support is funding the plans for a multi-state food-and-energy system.
In design
Oglebay greenhouse & agritourism
Greenhouse design, cost planning, and the visitor program are underway in Wheeling with Oglebay and LLK Greenhouse Solutions.
In development
EnergiAcres circular energy model
Right-sized power with heat and CO₂ reused for greenhouses. EnergiAcres is applying the same approach to data-center campuses.
Being identified
Ohio and Pennsylvania sites
We are looking for a qualifying Appalachian Ohio site and exploring heat-reuse partnerships with industrial and energy campuses.
Connected system
What makes Everberry different?
A regional food system, energy system, and workforce system designed as one operating model.
Smart Energy
The EnergiAcres model: right-sized power with captured heat and CO₂, the same approach used for data-center campuses. Partners: EnergiAcres, PSU, CNX.
