The industry leading CO₂ removal technology (CDR)
Proven:
Worldwide, we have already installed over 50 plants for our customers since 2009. These PYREG systems remove more than 30,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually and, with 75 GWh, cover the annual heating requirements of around 5,000 households. Our technology is considered a reference by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is EBC type-certified (European Biochar Certificate).
Sustainable:
PYREG carbonizations systems provide a circular economy solution – closing the loop by recycling residual materials into high-quality biochar and renewable energy. If the biochar is added to a permanent carbon sink, e.g. in agriculture, viticulture or building materials, the recycler can also generate Carbon Credits.
Scalable:
PYREG carbonization systems are rated at the highest Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9. These systems feature a modular design, enabling us to deliver and install them, with minimal site requirements, in just a view days. Our systems can function as stand-alone units, or be combined as a multi-unit installation.
Decentralized:
The modular design allows us to set up PYREG systems at the source of the waste stream – close to production and decentralized. This is how you can transform your production site, which is producing organic residues, into a Net-Zero-site, which is producing value – no transport costs and prevention of additional, transport-related CO₂-emissions.
In total, our 50 carbonization systems are generating:
Biochar
≈ 8.800 t
CO₂-Sequestration
≈ 30.000 t
Phosphate Recycling
≈ 2.400 t

Award winning technology for climate protection
As the developer and pioneer of this carbonization technology, we are not only the world market leader, but have also received several awards, including: Finalist of the New Energy Challenge 2022, winner of the Watt d’Or 2022, Nominee of the German Sustainability Award 2022 and many more.
One technolgy – many solutions
valuable Biochar
Carbonize your residual materials into Biochar! This enables the permanent storage of CO₂. Biochar can be used as a valuable soil conditioner, feed additive or as a component in building materials, such as concrete and asphalt.
Closing material cycles
PYREG systems provide a multi material capable solution – transforming your WASTE (woody residues, rubber, plastics, packaging, composites, food waste, sewage sludge, manure, digestates, etc.) into VALUE. PYREG enables you to close your material cycle, decarbonize and drive a circular economy.
Renewable energy from your own resources
PYREG carbonization systems deliver clean, renewable thermal energy – as either hot water/oil, steam or electricity (via ORC). This thermal energy can be used, for example, in district heating applications, supplying up to 400 households per year.
CO₂-Removal and Carbon Credits
The controlled carbonization of the biogenic residues prevents a large part of the carbon contained in the biomass from escaping into the atmosphere. A PYREG plant thereby binds up to 3 t CO₂ per t biochar (with approx. 80% C-content, process-related deductions according to EBC sink not yet considered). If this biochar and the CO₂ bound in it is put into a permanent carbon sink as a soil improver or filler, the recycler receives carbon credits.
