Carbolysis™ is the only technology capable of converting biomass into biochar carbon removal and renewable energy in quantities fit for industrial-scale operations.
Carbolysis™
Moreover, because Carbolysis™ is an energy-generating process it enables industrial-scale carbon removal. Specifically, this proprietary technology converts industry-side streams into the highest quality biochar and biogenic syngas through high temperatures, pressure and a unique control method.
As a result, this process creates the most permanent type of biochar for biochar carbon removal. Furthermore, unlike traditional pyrolysis processes, this unique solution turns additional oils and into an energy-rich biogenic , that can be burnt to create fossil-free energy.
We first place a bed of biomass inside our reactor.
A downward flow of compressed air then pressurizes the reactor.
Next, we ignite the biomass from the bottom
The reaction front then moves upwards through the reactor converting it into solid biochar.
The process also produces tar-free syngas, which can be used for heat or to generate renewable electricity.
When the process is completed, we empty, cool down, and prepare the biochar batch for export.
High carbon content
Carbolysis produces biochar with an exceptionally high carbon content of over 90%. As a result, over 3,000 tons of CO2 is trapped inside every ton of Carbo Culture biochar. Read more about biochar here.
