We could tell you a lot about PYREG technology and our plant systems – but we prefer to let our customers speak for us. In the following you will find a selection of references for the areas Biochar/Coal Feed, Sewage Sludge and the PYREKA Research Plant .

Bionero GmbH
Aaron Saßmannshausen: “The gentle carbonization of the residual materials is the basis of our valuable potting soil. We have chosen PYREG because their many years of scientific support and practical experience give us great security regarding our sustainable product quality.”
In close cooperation with the University of Halle-Wittenberg, Bionero GmbH has developed a Terra Preta made of unused biological materials. This plant soil, produced from vegetable charcoal and compost, improves the growth of plants in a sustainable and 100% natural wa

Sonnenerde GmbH
Gerald Dunst: “In 2011, we opted for Pyreg technology because only it could meet the strict limits of the Waste Incineration Ordinance. As we now know, this was absolutely the right decision. This summer we will expand our plant park with a PYREG plant (P1500).”
Sonnererde has built the first biochar production plant in Europe in 2012!
The plant operates 24 hours a day and produces about 1,000 kg of high-quality biochar per day. This biochar pioneer feeds the energy, released during the carbonization process, into its heat network – for heating and drying the feed material.

Fetzer Rohstoffe und Recycling GmbH
Christoph Zimmermann: “We now have three PYREG systems. This technology is simply convincing – ecologically and economically.”
Moola is the name of the biochar, produced by Fetzer Rohstoffe & Recycling GmbH, which is made from regional biomass (wood chips, grain husks). During production, up to 150 KW of heat are generated per plant. Fetzer uses this heat to heat the water system of a PET recycling plant. The remaining energy is used to heat the administration rooms.

NovoCarbo GmbH
Caspar von Ziegner: “As the leading marketer of EBC certified biochar, we invest heavily in applied research and in the certifiability of carbon sinks. In order to be able to guarantee our quality promise on a long-term basis, we have been successfully cooperating with PYREG GmbH from the very beginning. We currently have three PYREG plants in operation and will soon expand our capacities.”
NovoCarbo is a leading international producer and marketer of biochar, with a focus on the industrial and agricultural sectors. Biochar is an important element for its customers to achieve their CO2 targets. Taking this into account, NovoCarbo is pursuing a CO2 certificate for its biochar, in 2020.

Professor Dr. Bruno Glaser
“This exciting and highly topical subject focuses, among other things, on the fact that the biochar introduced into the soil not only serves as a long-term CO2 sink, but also makes the soil more fertile and less susceptible to the negative consequences of intensive use and climate change,” says Bruno Glaser. “I have been working successfully with PYREG for more than 10 years, as their technology enables the use of this natural problem solver.”
Our cooperation partner Professor Dr. Bruno Glaser, a German soil biogeochemist and lecturer at the University of Halle (Saale), with a research focus on Terra Preta and biochar, is considered a luminary in the field of biochar.

Henotec (Shanghai) Consulting Co. Ltd
Peng Jiang: “Our goal is to provide our customers with a complete, efficient and cost-effective solution which continually creates an add value. By integrating Pyreg technology at the respective sites and making additional use of the bioenergy generated, we have achieved this in a sustainable manner.”
Henotec GmbH, founded in 2012 in Munich, helps European environmental technology companies enter the Chinese market. Henotec Qingdao specializes in solutions for the recycling of bio-waste, Henotec Shanghai in solutions for the recycling of hazardous waste.

Shanghai Meiho Environmental Co., Ltd.
Weirong Chen: “Critical, difficult to dispose of and cost-intensive industrial waste is not only a problem in the Asian region. The Pyreg plants enable our customers to recycle them in a sustainable way – directly at their site. In addition to enormous cost savings, the use of this technology also improves the waste balance, which makes it possible to expand the site.”
Meiho is an environmental service provider for automation and environmental technology in the field of industrial production- and painting-lines. The primary task is to offer solutions for a sustainable emission control and waste treatment.

Bioforcetech Corporation
Dario Presezzi: “The treatment of biosolids from Sewage Sludge to biochar with great nutritional value is not only cost efficient, but also a sustainable solution to locally transform organic streams into renewable energy and biochar. Once used as a phosphate fertilizer in the ground, it helps to improve the environmental footprint by sequestering Co2 for centuries. While reducing the waste volume by 90%, the PYREG technology also offers a great cost saving.”
The vision of Bioforcetech is simple: instead of trucking “waste” away, we offer the technology that can autonomously transform organics into value. In the US alone, over 100M tons of organic waste per year are sent to landfill, incinerated or land applied, creating environmental and health problems.
