Practical insights on fast pyrolysis technology, biochar science, biofuel applications, carbon markets, and the business of biomass-to-energy — from the team at International BioRefineries.
Fast pyrolysis is counterintuitive until you see it run. You take organic waste, heat it extremely fast in a zero-oxygen environment, and in under two seconds it breaks apart into three products.
Biochar and compost do fundamentally different things in soil. Here's our actual assessment — what each does well, where each falls short, and why we recommend using them together.
A mid-size pyrolysis operation producing 500 tons of biochar a year could generate $180,000 to $210,000 in annual carbon credit revenue. Here's how the path from production to revenue actually works.
Bio-oil keeps showing up as the answer for operations with a fossil fuel dependency and a waste stream to manage. Here are the five applications with the most traction.
The highest-value pathway for pyrolysis bio-oil is upgrading it into drop-in jet fuel. The bottleneck isn't refining technology — it's feedstock.
Stormwater engineers have been calling us more in the past two years than the previous five combined. Biochar is proving itself as a filter medium across the country.
How much does it actually cost? Capital costs, revenue streams, ROI timelines — honest numbers for modular pyrolysis systems in the 5-75 TPD range.
Federal programs that can offset pyrolysis and biochar project costs — REAP grants, EQIP, CSP, the Renewable Fuel Standard, and carbon credits explained.
Whether you are exploring pyrolysis for the first time or evaluating a specific feedstock, our team is ready to help.
