We connect natural and industrial carbon cycles by converting biomass, end-of-life tires, and hard-to-recycle plastics into high-value production outputs – biochar, engineered biocarbons, bio-oils, and syngas. These materials drop into industrial, energy, and agricultural supply chains to replace fossil inputs, store carbon durably, power on-site heat and power, and regenerate soils – turning waste streams into bankable climate infrastructure.
SOLID OUTPUTS
- Biochar (soils & materials)
A stable, carbon-rich solid produced via pyrolysis from biomass residues. In soils, biochar improves water-holding capacity, nutrient retention, pH buffering and resilience – field evidence commonly shows ~10–30% yield uplifts, with outlier cases far higher depending on context. Beyond agronomy, engineered grades enhance concrete, asphalt and polymer composites – turning infrastructure into long-lived carbon stores while improving mechanical performance.
- Engineered Biocarbons (industrial additives)
Upgraded biochar (milled/purified/graphitized) can substitute fossil carbon black in plastics, rubber, inks and coatings, cutting embedded emissions while meeting performance targets. Advanced routes convert biochar to synthetic graphite and graphene for 30+ application categories (from coatings and concrete to conductive polymers). Trials in SBR rubber reported ~50% longer tread life using biochar-derived graphene – showcasing real performance upside.
- Activated Bio-Carbon (water & air)
Biochar’s high surface area and tunable chemistry make it a strong, cost-effective adsorbent. As activated bio-carbon, it captures pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceutical residues and even microplastics in municipal, industrial and stormwater systems; after service, it can be safely handled or repurposed depending on load. Local production can reduce dependence on imported activated carbon.
- Biocoal / Bio-coke (heat & metallurgy)
Densified biocarbons provide a drop-in solid fuel for boilers and kilns and a partial reductant in metals processing – an immediate lever for Scope 1 cuts where electrification isn’t ready. Lower sulfur/mercury than fossil coal, with improving energy density via briquetting and torrefaction; pilots in steel and cement indicate practical substitution pathways.
- Recovered Carbon Black (rubber and plastics)
End-of-life tire pyrolysis yields a solid char that’s refined into rCB for rubber and plastics, displacing virgin fossil carbon black and closing a major material loop. Typical tire pyrolysis also produces oil and gas fractions; each ton of rCB used can avoid ~1.5–2 tCO₂ versus virgin CB, with strong OEM interest and commercial partnerships scaling.
LIQUID OUTPUTS
- Pyrolysis Oil (fuels and chemicals)
Condensed liquids from biomass pyrolysis serve as on-site boiler fuel or upgradeable feedstock for chemicals and fuels, complementing solid carbon revenue streams in integrated plants. (Project mixes can be tuned toward more liquids or more solids depending on market pull and site energy strategy.)
- Plastic-to-Fuels (ULSD & naphtha)
For hard-to-recycle plastics, modular chemical recycling converts mixed streams into ASTM-grade ultra-low sulfur diesel and naphtha. A validated 10-TPD unit reports per-batch (16–18 h) outputs of ~1,800–2,000 gal ULSD and ~180–200 gal naphtha, with commercial roll-out modeled via multi-site deployments.
GAS OUTPUTS
- Syngas & Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Pyrolysis produces a combustible syngas used for process heat and CHP, often driving plants to thermal self-sufficiency; surplus can generate power/steam via gas engines, microturbines or ORC. An exemplar CHP + biochar facility is engineered for ~29 GWh electricity, ~160,000 MMBTU steam, and ~16,200 t/y biochar, showcasing bankable co-product economics.
- Hydrothermal Pathways (for wet wastes)
For high-moisture feedstocks (sludges, manures, food waste), HTL/HTC/HTG complement pyrolysis: HTL yields a hydrocarbon-rich bio-oil from wet streams; residues can be carbonized (HTC) or gasified (HTG). This expands the addressable waste universe while still landing in carbon-rich solids and usable energy.
