Innovation in Impact

1. Waste management for small-to-medium scale businesses/communities with organic waste in their streams (10 - 1000 kg a week). Find out how to add value to your waste.

2. Decentralised energy production for industrial, commercial or domestic use. Contact us to find out how you can integrate pyrolysis into your current systems, and the benefits of your own heating system.

3. Apply biochar in best practices way in agriculture, water filtration, biocomposites, as as well as afforestation projects around the world. We produce, source and distribute the best biochar up to EU standards.

The power of PYrolysis

Combustion achieved with PYROPOWER PYROLYSIS TECHNOLOGY significantly reduces pollutant emissions by ensuring much lower levels of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic carbon (OGC) and particulate matter (PM) than any other conventional combustion. we produce clean energy and we make sure we do it effectivrly.

WITH RESPONSIBLE PYROLYSIS OF WASTE, WE GET VALUABLE PRODUCTS

There are so many things we can do with a carbon-based elements, which are products of an incomplete combustion of biomass. Through selling and upgrading of these products, the value of the upcycled waste is returned to our global production network, this can be a smallholder farmer from Indonesia or by our food waste producing partners in the Netherlands.

Pyrolysis in simple terms

Heating biomass between 300°C and 500°C in the absence of oxygen releases energy stored in the organic material in terms of heat. Leaving biochar as byproduct, which is rich in carbon, hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen as well as minerals in ash fraction. The heat can be converted into other forms of energy such as electricity using an external electricial generators further down the process. We rely on slow pyrolysis, which increases our production of biochar by 10-15%.

Energy for Everyone

"Access to energy underlies the basic liveihood of humanity" - United Nations
One example of the Pyropower application is the Tumbuh kiln. Which can output 20 kW of useful heat using 5kg of wood pellets every hour. Which can be converted to 1kW of electricty with a modular steam turbine. This is enough to power a living space in most developing and developed nations. In poor regions, light and mobile-phone charging to improve connectivity take precedence. At Pyropower, we test to make sure our biochar kilns are the most efficient conversion technology there is.

Biomass OPPORTUNITY research
Every type of biomass is unique and has it's own life cycle
An integral part of our work is understanding the science behind the biomass and your paricular feedstock. We study different types of feedstock available in each geographical location within each community and we look at the characteristics to estimate the calorific value - energy that nature allows us to produce sustainability. We adapt our technology to different biomass properties, energy requirements and cultures.

We are building a comprehensive database by consolidating feedstock information. Contact us and we'd be happy to learn from you! As a good first estimation - we like biomass with a moisture content of 10 - 20%.
CARBON NEGATIVE
We capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it back
into the ground for thousand of years, where it belongs.
Pyropower's technology and efforts assure us that we as a company are carbon negative. This means we confront climate change head-on, reversing it and purifying the toxic environment.

We test our biochar to ensure they remain under the national and administrative standards so that they can be sold to the carbon market as carbon credits. Where companies from around the world can purchase to help offset footprint.

We don't facilitate this - the WORLD does, we just make the biochar.

WHat is BIOCHAR?
An organic conditioner for the Earth
Learn more about our Biochar
Simply put, it is charcoal (rich in carbon) produced from plant or organic matter and stored in the soil as a means of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Biochar is an approach to carbon sequestration as it has the potential to help mitigate climate change. Independently, biochar can increase soil fertility of acidic soils (low pH soils), increase agricultural productivity, and provide protection against some foliar and soil-borne diseases.

For us, biochar is an important tool to increase food security and cropland diversity in areas with severely depleted soils, scarce organic resources and inadequate water. It also improves water quality and quantity by increasing soil retention of nutrients and agrochemicals for plant and crop utilization. More nutrients stay in the soil instead of leaching into groundwater and causing pollution.

This means that developing countries benefit with more abundant and diverse agricultural production, worrying less about yield and increasing (economic) security, while Europe and the U.S can rely much less on water and chemical fertilisers to grow their crops, facilitating the modern urban-farming industry by the same token. Biochar also plays a huge rule in our circular economy ideals. Currently, farmers pay a substaintiable amount to rid of agirculture waste when they can be converted to biochar through our device, enhancing yield and ergonomics.

We are working alongside the goals of the Internation Biochar Initiative (IBI), an institute that provides a platform for fostering, good industry practices, and environmental ethical standards to support biochar systems that are safe and economically viable- with the goal of reaching the one billion tons of biochar produced per year within 50 years.
