REFE­RENCES

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.

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.

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.
