Bio Char

Bio Char 

Bio Char is another product created through Fast Pyrolysis process. During the process, some solid particles are formed which are extracted and collected. Approximately 20% of the Pyrolysis of biomass becomes BioChar.

BioChar is targeted to enter a variety of key markets such as Terra Preta and Activated Carbon applications. Terra Preta is an ancient soil found in the Amazonian basin known for dramatically increasing the yield of crops grown on it as well as improving overall health of the crop.

Studies have shown that BioChar holds many qualities that can create Terra Preta soils and naturally purify water in the soil.

Bio char can be placed back into agricultural soils to improve long term soil quality, and it can be directly substituted with fossil fuels to produce process heat and power.

BioChar can be used as a feedstock for manufacturing charcoal briquettes/pellets that can be used in domestic and industrial heating markets. Fuel pellets made from char would have a higher energy density than wood pellets.

BioChar can be co-fired with coal. Additional applications include greenhouses; sawmill dry kilns, stationary diesel engines and industrial boilers.
