BIOCHAR INDUSTRY

Biochar has a high carbon content of up to 90 % and binds carbon material reliably, long-term and without negative side effects... Biomass captures CO 2 from the atmosphere during its growth. Carbon (C) is stored in plant material while oxygen is released into the atmosphere. A large part of the C can be captured during pyrolysis in a gas, a liquid and a solid phase. While providing climate-neutral energy using the gas phase (Syngas) and the liquid phase (Bio-Oil), the material use of the solid phase (Biochar) allows for carbon capture and storage, thus leading to a a net climate positive process... In the seven systems: stable, manure/slurry, biogas plant, composting, field, trees/forest and soil, biochar can improve processes, limit the emission of greenhouse gases and create carbon sinks.
