Pyrogenic Carbon Capture and Storage

Several reactor configurations can support biomass pyrolysis, from simple pit kilns to multiple hearth kilns and drum kilns with sophisticated temperature and residence time control. “What type of reactor to employ” is a function of production scale and the biochar properties needed by the selected market. Operating parameters, such as set point temperature and reactor residence time, can be controlled to adjust biochar properties to match market needs.

Technoeconomics are affected by processing yield, capital investment, and biochar selling price, and whether a decentralized “hub-and-spoke” model using pyrolysis depots is employed to lower biomass hauling costs.

Carbon Removal Methods

Bio-oil

Bio-oil and biochar production both involve the conversion of waste biomass through the process of pyrolysis. In pyrolysis, biomass is heated in an oxygen-limited environment, leading to the decomposition of organic materials into different products.

Biochar

Biochar is a substance that resembles charcoal and is characterized by its high content of stable carbon. It is created through a process known as pyrolysis, where biomass undergoes heating in an environment with limited oxygen. The pyrolysis process not only produces biochar but also yields bioenergy as a byproduct.
