Descrição
Pyrochar aims to become the first commercial technology to produce clean charcoal at a suitable cost to replace coal and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). This would be a significant step towards the global use of renewable carbon in metal production.
Low Emissions Charcoal
Traditional charcoal production processes can have devasting environmental impacts such as deforestation and forest degradation.
The present methods of producing charcoal can lead to large carbon emissions, and producing charcoal using what pyrolysis technology is currently available can be costly and is often limited in scale.
Through Pyrochar’s pyrolysis technology, we can produce high-grade charcoal and replace coke in the metallurgical extraction industry by using dry plant matter in our input streams.
Our pyrolysis technology is also autothermal, meaning it does not require any additional heat as its heated purely by the pyrolysis reactions. Therefore, the charcoal produced is essentially carbon neutral and also generates valuable by-products like organic liquids and simple organic gasses.
Our clean charcoal is a viable and environmentally-friendly agent that can be made to meet the needs of iron, steel, silicon and activated carbon production.
