Projectdetails

Introduction

We have developed a patent protected, innovative, ‘Flash Carbonisation’ pyrolysis technology for the production of biochar, a stable form of carbon that can be used as a carbon sink. This high temperature, high pressure method can be used to produce reproducible high surface area, fixed carbon content and electroconductive biochar.

Carbon Sequestration Efficiency

Our biochar is verified to sequester 3.2t of CO2 per tonne of biochar, making it one of the most efficient ways to sequester carbon today. In addition, for every ton of biochar produced, 9.5MWh of carbon-neutral heat is generated in the form of syngas that can be used for municipal/industrial energy needs, displacing fossil-based heat.

Key Technical Benefits

Key technical benefits of our technology include:

  • Wide feedstock range including high moisture content (5 – 35%).
  • High stable, solid carbon yield (50-60%).
  • High surface area biochar (200 – 400 m²/g).
  • Low toxins: volatiles (<10%), low ash (<5%).
  • Modular/scalable systems with planned use of by-product syngas heat safely.
