BIOCHAR
Biochar and bioenergy technology solutions
Technology developers BEST Energies have a fully operational slow pyrolysis demonstration facility at Somersby, NSW. The technology has been proven to be robust to a large variety of waste organic feedstocks, to be a net exporter of energy and to have a negative carbon balance, sequestering more carbon than it emits at a ratio of 4 to 1.
Uralla pilot pyrolysis project seeks expert advice
In July, Adriana Downie Chief Technology Officer, BEST Energies Australia was invited by the Uralla Climate Forum to present details of cost and operation expenses of a 3MW pyrolysis plant. The Forum is conducting a preliminary feasibility study to examine the process of utilising locally available biomass material for the production of electricity and biochar via a pilot slow pyrolysis plant in Uralla.
