A New Economic Engine for Maine’s Forest Industry

Our partner Standard Biocarbon is using PYREG technology to do amazing things for Maine’s forestry and agriculture industries.
SBC’s facility takes sawmill byproducts like wood chips, pins, and fines and transforms these residuals into high-quality biochar, creating a new revenue stream for forestry businesses and helping to maintain healthy, productive forests.
The biochar produced is being used by Maine’s agriculture industry as a soil remediation solution for agricultural land that’s been contaminated with harmful PFAS, offering the state a tool to help restore health and safety.

Green district heating with biochar: Novocarbo and municipal utilities Bochum rely on PYREG’s Net Zero technology

Henriette zu Doha — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 12:29:10 +0000

Four PYREG PX 1500 systems form the technical basis of the largest Carbon Removal Park of the German climate tech start-up Novocarbo

The German climate tech company Novocarbo has announced the kick-off for its largest Carbon Removal Park (CDR-Park) in Germany to date. The latest site of the Hamburg-based start-up, which uses the PYREG net-zero technology to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere, produce biochar, and generate renewable energy, is being built in Bochum in collaboration with the municipal utility of the city. Stadtwerke Bochum is the first municipal utility in a major German city to use climate-neutral heat from biochar production to make its district heating network greener. This is already the second carbon removal park that Novocarbo is going to open in Germany on the basis of the PYREG carbonization technology.

Climate-neutral heat for 26,000 households

Stadtwerke Bochum will source regenerative heat from the Carbon Removal Park Bochum all year round, thereby making the district heating supply in Bochum with currently around 26,000 connected households greener. “We very much welcome Novocarbo’s involvement in Bochum and are happy to support innovative, pioneering companies and technologies as part of our partnerships. Novocarbo offers us the opportunity to broaden our heat generation portfolio and make it greener. The surplus energy generated in the pyrolysis process is fed directly into our district heating network. The project is therefore an important building block for the decarbonisation of district heating in Bochum,” explains Elke Temme, Managing Director of Stadtwerke Bochum Holding GmbH.

Four PYREG plants form technical basis of Carbon Removal Park

The Carbon Removal Park in Bochum will be built from the end of 2024 on a site belonging to USB Bochum GmbH (USB) in Markstraße. By using four PX1500 pyrolysis plants from PYREG, around 6,000 tonnes of CO₂ will be removed from the atmosphere, 15,000 MWh of climate-neutral heat will be generated, and 3,300 tonnes of biochar will be produced on an area of 4,500 m² from mid-2025. Novocarbo is investing around 14 million euros in the new site in Bochum. The start-up plans to open around 200 Carbon Removal Parks by 2033.

Caspar von Ziegner, CEO Novocarbo: “Our goal is to accelerate the economy‘s transition to Net Zero and to support companies in decarbonising with our green heat solution. Together with Stadtwerke Bochum, we can make a valuable contribution to climate neutrality in Germany in one of its most densely populated metropolitan regions.”

Jörg zu Dohna is a guest at the “Hope for change” Talk by ProSieben TV

Henriette zu Doha — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 14:29:34 +0000

The ProSieben TV presenter Thore Schölermann invited dedicated climate protection entrepreneurs, scientists and authors to Germany’s highest TV studio on the Zugspitze. A very insightful and rousing TV production of the “Hope for change” Talk.

The encouraging credo: Groundbreaking technologies that can stop climate change already exist! We just need to act as quickly as possible and remove political obstacles.

ntv Wissen documentary: “How the CO2 absorber works”

Henriette zu Doha — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 09:33:02 +0000

ntv Wissen took a great deal of time in this 10 minute feature to introduce the PYREG “climate miracle machine”.
Helmut Gerber (founder and CTO) leads the viewer through our production at the Dörth site. Step by step, he explains how our customers manage to remove more than 30,000 t of CO2 from the atmosphere every year using the PYREG carbonization technology. Jörg zu Dohna (CEO) outlines why biochar carbon removal is crucial for reaching the global climate targets. And he explains the well filled order books: “…Because the plant not only makes climate protectors happy, but also investors.” Once again, he underscores an essential prerequisite for the success of the climate turnaround: Climate protection can also be a business model. With PYREG, it is.

Being able to build even more CarbonDioxydeRemoval (CDR) plants faster is not only desirable – we are already on our way. The potential and importance for climate protection has now been recognized worldwide.
