Renergi’s biochar and bio-oil are one of the best ways to help decarbonise and minimise the environmental impact of the building and construction industries. Cement/concrete is a notoriously difficult industry to decarbonise. Renergi's biochar and bio-oil - produced sustainably from renewably sourced feedstocks - not only improve the end construction product but also significantly reduce a project's end carbon footprint by safely sequestering carbon.
The versatility of biochar and bio-oil offer a range of benefits when added to cement/concrete, plaster, and asphalt/roadbase:
Enhanced Material Properties
When incorporated into construction materials like concrete and asphalt, biochar improves mechanical properties.
Insulating properties
The porous structure helps maintain optimal temperatures inside buildings reducing energy bills for heating/cooling, and reducing noise
Humidity Control
Its moisture retention properties prevent mold and mildew growth.
Pollutant Mitigation
Absorbs pollutants and heavy metals helping to purify urban runoff and contamination to the nearby environment
Thermal Regulation for Roads
Helping to regulate road surface temperatures, potentially extending the lifespan
Carbon Sequestration
Removes/stores atmospheric carbon safely within the material.
