PYREG is proud to be among the 10 remaining finalists of the New Energy Challenge (NEC). Jointly organized by Rockstart, Shell, Unknown Group and YES!Delft, the New Energy Challenge is open to European and Israeli start-ups and scale-ups. The winning companies will be given the opportunity to connect with investors and experts, unlocking the knowledge, contacts, funding, and support needed to scale their business and help them to drive change in the energy system.

This competition is based on the premise that energy transition is an essential step to becoming sustainable – not only in terms of saving our climate, but also in terms of  short- and medium- term economic health. This is where the PYREG business model comes into focus, as we offer renewable energy, through the carbonization of biogenic residues into CO₂ capturing biochar (a proven Carbon Dioxide Removal  (CDR) solution).

In summary, PYREG NetZero Technology provides solutions for three critical problem areas:
1. The recycling of waste problem (we enable waste-to-value / circular economy projects)
2. The greenhouse gas emissions problem (our Systems remove CO₂ via biochar production)
3. The energy dependency problem (our Systems generate clean, renewable energy)

Moreover, PYREG NetZero Technology is aligned with the core objectives of the New Energy Challenge indicated below, as we provide proven, scalable and cost-effective carbonization Systems:

“Carbon capture, storage and utilisation are often considered too costly and inefficient to be used at scale, but scientific and technological innovations are rapidly changing this. By working together to develop and scale affordable and efficient carbon reduction, capture, and utilisation technologies, we can help all industries to meet their climate targets, create more circular economies and keep the planet’s warming within safe limits.” – NEC

Many thanks to the exceedingly professional preparation of the NEC Finals, supported by an outstanding and inspiring mentoring program. From a diverse team of mentors, spanning numerous industry segments, we have received valuable business advice!

Out of all the start-ups and scale-ups that applied earlier this year, the Top 20 entries were selected, based on the quality and potential of their business model, innovative technologies and digital solutions. In November, the ten finalists will pitch face-to-face in front of a selected jury of experts, on November 2^nd, at the websummit in Lisbon, “the world’s premier tech conference”. Then, on November 3^rd, the jury will select the winners of the New Energy Challenge 2022.

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.

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.

The advantage: Untreated manure such as liquid manure consists largely of water and sometimes contains high concentrations of endocrine disruptors or drug residues. Separation, drying and carbonation drastically reduce the amount of liquid manure and result in a hygienised, dry, storable and transportable recycling fertilizer. In addition, large quantities of CO2 emissions are saved.

Greenhouse trials have already shown that the fertilizing effect of carbon fertilizers is just as good as that of conventional mineral fertilizers. Two field trials with maize near Bingen (Germany) and Bell (Germany) should now confirm these results.

German Television has reported about our project. The report, unfortunately only in German language, can be viewed here in the media library of the SWR.

PROJECT DETAILS “RE-DIRECT”, Baden-Baden

• • Customer: City of Baden-Baden, Department of Environmental Technology
  • Location Site: Baden-Baden, Germany
  • System: PYREG Unit A500, in operation since 2019
  • European Research Project RE-DIRECT (part of the European Research Program INTERREG North-West Europe NWE): Regional development and integration of unused biomass wastes as resources for circular products and economic transformation, 2016-2019.
  • Aim of project: Converting residual biomass into biogas & activated carbon at smart regional decentralised units. The project involves 11 partners from Belgium, Germany, France, Ireland and UK.
  • The PYREG plant A500 will be used to refine the press cake that is produced from the biomass during biogas production into activated carbon. The activated carbon will then be used in wastewater treatment.

PYREG is also involved in another regional activated carbon research project:

PROJECT DETAILS “CO-ACT”, Lake Constance District

• • The research project “CoAct” is part of the German Funding Measure „Stadt-Land-Plus“, funded by Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), coordinated by the University of Kassel
  • Aim of the project is to be carried out how energy and activated carbon can be obtained from green waste from municipal landscape management (leaves, grass cuttings) or agriculture (fruit tree cuttings) at Lake Constance District. 2018-2023
  • Project partners: University of Kassel, Competence Centre for Climate Protection and Adaptation (CliMa), Institute for Energy and Environment (ifeu), Institute for Rural Structural Development Frankfurt, DVGW Water Technology Centre, Lake Constance Foundation, Krieg & Fischer Company, Lake Constance District, City of Friedrichshafen
