Biochar

The mobile biochar unit has several advantages over a traditional charcoal plant. The first advantage is the mobility of the unit. This unit can be moved to around on site at the Industrial Park or off site to another location. Mobility can cut down on expenses related to transporting materials for processing. The unit’s software allows it to process various kinds of feedstock from wood, to coal to municipal solid waste with only a change in the software. This can be done on site or remotely via the internet. This feature allows versatility to the unit and expands the type of by-products for sale from charcoal or ash to biofuel, synthetic coke, and metals found in municipal solid waste which are not destroyed in the proprietary process. The unit produces electricity which can be sold to a power company, steam which can be sold to other businesses at the Industrial Park, distilled water which can be bottled and sold, hot water and refrigeration.  

Another advantage of the mobile unit is low maintenance with minimal start-up costs. Once started it generates its own continuous power supply as long as there is feedstock saving the expense on electricity and gas costs that would be needed for traditional charcoal plant operations. The horizontal incline rotary gasifier corrects design limitations in vertical models and is scalable to fit the customers needs from 1 ton to 450 tons. Its’ greatest advantage is its’ eco-friendly processes that lower air, soil, and water contaminants/carcinogens. There is very little emissions thus ensuring that greenhouse gases are not released into the atmosphere. It also creates carbon neutral credits which can be sold to other businesses for a nice profit. 

We have processed grain based waste through a table top model of our proprietary innovative technology. The waste is taken to the fixed carbon phase. All volatiles are processed out as syngas. It is our belief that this can be made into activated carbon and sold as an additional revenue stream. This is the waste was also taken to the biochar stage. Biochar has many uses and is a salable by product. It is low cost and has numerous benefits to agriculture and the environment. Biochar is beneficial in trapping carbon dioxide in the soil and improving the quality of the soil. The tests prove that the prototype and concept works and offers a promise of future uses in multiple areas including municipal solid waste, disaster relief, and in biochar for resale in such areas as abandoned mine land reclamation, home use, commercial businesses, and agriculture.  

The Global Biochar Market size was worth 1.3 billion in 2018, while demand was estimated at 395.3-kilo tons that year. The Market is expected to grow USD 1,385.94 Million in 2019 to USD 3,457.61Million by the end of 2025 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.45%. The current average price for biochar in the US is $1.29 per pound or $2,580 per ton making money from the selling of biochar a great return on investment.
