BIOCARBON & BIOCHAR
The solid output generated from the HTP process is a solid, renewable carbon product.
​
This sustainable resource can serve as:
-
Biocarbon for Metallurgical Coal Substitution
-
Biochar
-
Activated Biochar
-
​Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Removal Credits (CORCs)
Biocarbon
Biocarbon is a greenhouse gas (GHG)-neutral alternative to fossil coal. CHAR Tech’s biocarbon, “CleanFyre™” is made predominantly from wood waste and significantly reduces net GHG emissions (*by around 90%), making it ideal for hard-to-abate industrial applications like steel, cement, mining and smelting processes.
CHAR Tech’s partnership with the leading steel company, ArcelorMittal.
Biochar
Biochar can be used for soil amendment purposes as it helps improve the physical properties of soil, such as water and nutrient retention. Biochar also sequesters carbon in the soil for the long term, effectively reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributing to climate change mitigation.
Activated Biochar
Biochar can be activated physically or chemically using various “activation agents” to form Activated Biochar. CHAR Tech’s activated biochar “SulfaChar™” is made using a blend of specific organic residual feedstocks. Activated Biochar is effective at removing contaminants from water and air, and is typically intended for remediation or purification projects. It also serves as an odour-reduction tool at waste management facilities.
Carbon Dioxide (COâ‚‚) Removal Credits (CORCs)
By sequestering carbon in the soil, biochar also generates CORCs, providing an opportunity to generate additional revenue and support sustainability initiatives. CORCs take advantage of the natural carbon capture properties of wood and organic residuals and wastes and are captured via the pyrolytic conversion into a solid carbon, biochar. This process is generically referred to as PyCCS (Pyrolysis Carbon Capture and Storage).
