SOLUTIONS
CHAR Tech’s high-temperature pyrolysis (HTP) process is a continuous autothermal process, where organic materials (biomass, biosolids, organic waste streams) are heated to over 800°C in a completely oxygen-free environment to create two high-value coproducts: biocarbon and renewable energy.
In parallel with delivering these valuable byproducts, the HTP process effectively manages organic waste streams by reducing the total mass of feedstock by up to 90%. This not only contributes to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions but also eliminates the associated transportation and management challenges and costs.

CHAR Tech's waste-to-value technologies are making a visible impact. Our technology and services have been designed to streamline operations and decrease both operating and capital expenditures.
By reducing facility footprints and diverting wood and organic residuals and wastes from landfills, we help organizations significantly improve their environmental footprint while simultaneously establishing the production of valuable, renewable resources.
ADVANTAGE OF OUR HTP TECHNOLOGY:
CHAR Tech employs high-temperature pyrolysis technology to transform challenging organic waste streams into two valuable outputs (renewable energy and biocarbon) by heating the materials at extremely high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.
MODULAR
Our modular approach can adapt to accommodate various feedstock types in different locations, saving costs and optimizing output.
FLEXIBLE
We cater to your wood residual or organic waste recycling and energy generation needs. You can choose from direct equipment purchase or we can handle the design, build, ownership and operation of the facility.
PROPRIETARY
MODULAR
CHAR Tech’s proprietary HTP technology runs at a higher temperature than other tested systems, not only reducing the total mass of waste materials by 90% but also eliminating PFAS contaminants, which are “forever chemicals” trapped in waste.
Feedstocks
CHAR Tech's HTP Process is specifically calibrated to process two feedstock types, biomass to create biocarbons and renewable energy, and biosolids to destroy PFAS and produce biochar.
Biomass
Biomass is converted into biocarbon to replace metallurgical coal in hard-to-abate industrial applications as well as to renewable natural gas.
Biomass includes:
-
Harvesting Residuals (tree tops, limbs, etc).
-
Processing Residuals (bark, woodchips, sawdust, etc).
-
Non-merchantable wood.
-
Clean construction and demolitions (C&D) waste, such as shipping pallets.
Biosolids
Biosolids are the solid organic byproducts remaining from sewage processing in a wastewater treatment facility. By processing biosolids through HTP, the residual PFAS (forever chemicals) are destroyed, leaving a biochar that has agronomic and carbon sequestration benefits.
