Turn problem waste into a
weapon to fight climate change

Pyrolysis takes waste biomass and produces biochar and green energy, all the while removing carbon from the atmosphere.

It transforms waste from a cost to a profit, and from a problem to an environmental solution.

The biochar produced is an excellent soil enhancer and promotes regenerative agriculture. Excess heat energy produced from the process is 100% renewable and can reduce your energy costs. The carbon removal credits can generate income or offset your own emissions.

It's a win-win for your business and the planet.

Business model

A pyrolysis plant can be both hugely environmentally positive, and profitable.

Inputs

Green waste
Poultry Litter
Agriculture residue
Sewage

Waste Biomass

Feedstock can come from any organic source, including green waste, poultry litter, sewage or agricultural residues.

Pyrolysis

Our Plant

Feedstock is thermally decomposed into biochar and syngas, which is combusted for energy to maintain the process and power any required drying process.

Outputs

Heat & Electricity

Excess energy can be available, delivered as hot air, water or steam, and co-generation of electricity.

Biochar

Biochar is most often used as a soil additive. This can be sold on the open market, or used locally.

Carbon Credits

Carbon Removal Credits can be sold for income, or retired to reduce your own emissions.

How does biomass pyrolysis remove atmospheric carbon?

All biomass contains carbon, and that carbon was at one time removed from the atmosphere by plant life.

This is the valuable resource which is returned to the atmosphere if burned, spread on land or left to decay, but is securely locked away for centuries if turned into biochar.

At Onnu we specialise in high-moisture feedstocks which are harder to handle, costlier to dispose of, and in the worst cases, causing ecological damage.
