From Switzerland
Maturity stage TRL 7 - Prototype testing in the real world

The solution is designed to extract as much value as possible from biomass waste streams in a simple, reliable way, to enable carbon recycling. The device generates value by (a) producing biochar or torrefied biomass from nearly any feedstock, (b) condensing wood vinegar from the gas stream, (c) cracking and filtering the raw syngas remaining after condensation to produce clean syngas, (d) optionally burning the syngas in a genset to produce electricity, and (e) pre-processing biomass to be converted to humic and fulvic acid in a secondary process.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Decomposes biomass to biochar, wood vinegar, and energy.
  • Uses the minimum amount of thermal and mechanical energy necessary.

The Financial Benefits

  • Has a higher daily capacity of about 4 times more at the same cost of the reference.
