Biochar

The mobile biochar unit represents a new generation of clean‑tech innovation—engineered for mobility, efficiency, and exceptional environmental performance. Unlike a traditional charcoal plant, this system brings the processing power directly to the feedstock, dramatically reducing transportation costs and unlocking new revenue opportunities.

Mobility That Cuts Costs and Expands Opportunity

The unit can be deployed anywhere—within an industrial park or at remote off‑site locations—eliminating the need to haul materials long distances. Its advanced software allows seamless switching between multiple types of feedstock, including wood, coal, and municipal solid waste. Updates can be made on‑site or remotely, giving operators unmatched flexibility.

This adaptability expands the range of valuable by‑products, from charcoal and ash to biofuel, synthetic coke, and recoverable metals that remain intact through the proprietary process.

Multiple Revenue Streams From a Single System

The mobile unit is engineered to generate a suite of marketable outputs:

• Electricity that can be sold back to the grid
• Steam for industrial customers
• Distilled water suitable for bottling
• Hot water and refrigeration capacity

This multi‑output design transforms waste into a diversified portfolio of profitable commodities.

Low Maintenance. Low Start‑Up Cost. High Return.

Once operational, the system powers itself continuously as long as feedstock is available—eliminating the electricity and gas expenses associated with traditional operations. Its horizontal incline rotary gasifier corrects the limitations of vertical models and scales from 1 ton to 450 tons to meet customer needs.

The process is exceptionally clean, producing minimal emissions and preventing greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. It also generates valuable carbon credits that can be sold for additional profit.

Proven Technology With Broad Application

Testing with grain‑based waste using a tabletop prototype demonstrated successful conversion to fixed carbon, with all volatiles processed into syngas. This material can be refined into activated carbon—a high‑value product with strong market demand.

The same waste stream was also converted into biochar, a low‑cost, high‑impact material known for improving soil quality and sequestering carbon dioxide. Biochar is widely used in agriculture, land reclamation, commercial landscaping, and home gardening.

These results confirm the system’s viability and highlight its potential for municipal solid waste processing, disaster relief operations, and large‑scale biochar production.

A Rapidly Growing Global Market

The global biochar market was valued at $1.3 billion in 2018, with demand reaching 395.3 kilotons. It is projected to grow from $1.38 billion in 2019 to $3.46 billion by 2025, driven by a 16.45% compound annual growth rate.

In the United States, biochar sells for an average of $1.29 per pound ($2,580 per ton)—making it one of the most profitable outputs in the clean‑tech sector.
