GRINDING PYROLYSIS
Production of high-value carbon materials: The pyrolysis products can also be used to make high-value carbon materials.
Soil conditioning and carbon sequestration: Biochar from Renergi’s pyrolysis technology is in the particle size range very close to that of natural biochar. Therefore, the biochar can be returned to agricultural soil to improve soil condition while sequestering carbon safely and permanently. Limited pot trials have given positive results.
