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.

PYREG GOES CZECH REPUBLIC: Plant for sewage sludge recycling will soon go into operation

Sine Friedrich — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 10:31:08 +0000

Full activity in Czech Republic: Our service team is currently installing the next PYREG plant for sewage sludge recycling there. Recycling the contained phosphorus gently and storing CO2 – this is on the agenda in more and more European countries. After Germany, the USA and Sweden, the first Czech PYREG sewage sludge recycling plant will start operation in May/June 2020.

BIOCHAR: Approval for organic farming throughout the EU

Sine Friedrich — Wed, 15 Jan 2020 14:33:27 +0000

Biochar may now be used throughout Europe in organic farming as a fertilizer/soil conditioner. What a breakthrough! In Germany, for example, biochar has so far only been allowed to be used in the form of charcoal in agriculture. But now, in December 2019, Ursula von der Leyen, as the new President of the EU-Commission, has signed the implementing regulation (EU) 2019/2164. This has been in force since 2020: Biochar is now defined as a “pyrolysis product made from a wide variety of organic materials of plant origin ” and is listed in Annex I of the current EU Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 under the heading fertilizers, soil conditioners and nutrients as an authorised fertilizer in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 834/2007.

The reason given for this step was ” that the substances ‘biochar’ (…) comply with the objectives and principles of organic production”. It is to be hoped that the authorisation will also soon be compatible with the objectives and principles of conventional farming. Because, whether organic or conventional: Already during the production of biochar, a large part of the carbon contained in the biomass is stably stored in the biochar and not released as CO₂. If the “green coal” is spread on the field together with manure, slurry or compost, the carbon remains bound in the soil for centuries, nutrient leaching into the groundwater is reduced, and instead it accelerates the humus formation and thus the storage of a multiple of CO₂. It is not without reason that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared the use of biochar in conjunction with humus formation to be an important strategy in the fight against global warming.

NEW ASSOCIATION: PYREG is a founding member of European Biochar Industry Consortium

Sine Friedrich — Thu, 14 Nov 2019 09:59:37 +0000

Biochar has a great deal of (climate protection) potential and therefore deserves even more attention. At the European level, a new association was founded a few weeks ago, the European Biochar Industry Consortium (EBI), which is now also online with its new website.

In addition to the German Biochar Association Fachverband Pflanzenkohle and the International Biochar Initiative (IBI), the new consortium aims above all to bundle the interests of the (biochar) industry and further promote market development for the production and use of biochar. PYREG is one of the founding members of the EBI and is of course also a member of the Fachverband Pflanzenkohle and IBI. Because only together can great things be achieved.
