Biochar for Industry

02.1 Hintergrundbild Biochar for Industry

Development of a process to produce biochar of a quality that makes it suitable to be applied as a substitute for fossil carbon in metallurgical processes at competitive prices.
Link: Technology / Info: Biomass Pyrolysis

  • As added-value products of the process besides biochar also green electricity and heat shall further reduce the CO2 emissions of the energy sector.
  • CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation based optimisation of the pyrolysis process and development of the pyrolysis gas upgrading for heat and power generation.
  • Performance and evaluation of test runs at a prototype plant.
  • Development of application concepts in the metallurgical industry.
