Our innovative solution transforms biogas plants into permanent carbon removal facilities. Residual biomass from digestate is converted using the KARBOTECH facility through pyrolysis into stable carbon — biochar — incorporated into the soil where it remains for centuries.
Our innovative solution transforms biogas plants into permanent carbon removal facilities. Residual biomass from digestate is converted using the KARBOTECH facility through a process of pyrolysis into stable carbon – biochar. This is then mixed with the liquid part of the digestate and incorporated into the soil, where it will remain for centuries as soil carbon.
When organic nutrients, selected soil bacteria, and fungi are added to biochar, the result is MicroCHAR® regenerative conditioner. Applied during sowing, it provides plants with nutrients as well as natural protection against pests and stress.
Anaerobic decomposition of plant biomass or waste produces biogas, which is burned in an engine with a cogeneration generator.
The remaining undecomposed biomass with water (digestate) is stored in a storage tank and transported to the fields at the appropriate time.
A separator, dryer, and KARBOTECH device are placed behind the fermenter, converting undecomposed biomass from the digestate into biochar.
The biochar is returned to the liquid part of the digestate, where it binds nutrients, which it gradually releases into the soil.
Biochar, organic nutrients, bacteria, and fungi are used to produce the regenerative soil conditioner MicroCHAR®.
The biotic component helps to regenerate soil life and thus natural fertility.
The first operational KARBOTECH installation. Real MRV data, verified carbon removal, and a proven model for scaling biochar production at biogas plants.
A network of KARBOTECH units across biogas plants forms a distributed CDR infrastructure — delivering measurable, verifiable, and permanent carbon dioxide removal at scale.
