Kool Bricks joins ElectraTherm at the 2026 North American Biochar Conference

From 16 to 18 November, Kool Bricks will be at the North American Biochar Conference at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, supporting the ElectraTherm stand at Booth 124.

Why biochar?

Making biochar through pyrolysis releases large amounts of heat, and on many sites most of it is simply wasted. ElectraTherm's Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Power Modules capture that heat and turn it into electricity, which can run the plant or be exported. That gives producers another income stream alongside biochar sales and carbon removal credits.

It's not theory for us. We have two ElectraTherm units running on waste heat from biochar production in the UK (read about one of them here), and we've visited Biomass Energy Techniques in the US with ElectraTherm to see their biochar units in action (BET visit).

Representing the UK

Kool Bricks is ElectraTherm's exclusive distributor in the UK. We bought, installed and operated the first ElectraTherm ORC in the UK, and we still run that machine at our own site. Over 10 years of operating ElectraTherm Power Modules on biomass heat means we know what it takes to get the most from them, from the first feasibility estimate to long-term servicing.

As of March 2026, ElectraTherm Power Modules were running across the UK with 3,750 kW of nameplate capacity (see the fleet map).
