ECOCHAR
EcoChar aims to develop innovative projects in agroforestry and regenerative agriculture. We produce mainly biochar (an agricultural bio-stimulant) or green charcoal briquettes (substitute to wood charcoal) from the units we operate.
We valorize, exploit, and preserve the planet's ecosystem in a sustainable manner (circular economy) to deal with the finitude of resources.
The objective is to fight against :
- The «artificialization» of the soil and restore all its microbial activity without using chemical fertilizers through a natural product (biochar)
- Deforestation throughout the world by producing an alternative to wood charcoal
TECHNOLOGY
A range of tailor-made solutions using biomass
PYROLYSIS:Thermochemical transformation of biomass at over 932°F (500°C) in the absence of oxygen
PYROGASIFICATION PLANT:Gasification of the biomass (i.e. conversion into energy carriers at high temperatures aroung 1.832°F (1000°C) in a low-oxygen environment) while simultaneously producing biochar.
THE CHALLENGE
We face a climate emergency. Biodiversity and ecosystem are at the heart of the concerns.
EcoChar's objective is to play a key role in the fight against deforestation and the restoration of degraded soils by implementing cost-effective, timely and impactful approach for protecting and conserving our environment.
OUR BUSINESS
We develop and operate turnkey to produce renewable energy from biomass.
PRESENCE ACCROSS THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN
APPLICATIONS
There are many applications for biochar, all of which are beneficial for a sustainable and rational development.
BIOCHAR
Biochar is pure, carbon rich form of charcoal produced by pyrolysis (a thermal decomposition process) of biomass in the absence of oxygen.
The vegetable waste (biomass) is transformed into biochar, an agricultural bio-stimulant or into green charcoal briquettes, i.e. an alternative to wood charcoals.
The intrinsic characteristics of biochar allow the regeneration of degraded soils or to sequester carbon (carbon sink). Its role can be key in the fight against climate change.
