Turning biochar reactor waste heat into electricity

We have just finished commissioning another ElectraTherm PM75. This one uses waste exhaust heat from a pyrolysis/biochar reactor to generate electricity.

Two benefits from one heat source

The electricity offsets the plant's own electrical demand. In doing so, it also reduces the carbon intensity of the biochar the plant produces.

The reactor was due to start up the following week, and it is exciting to see the project come together.

It is also great to see ElectraTherm ORCs already running on other biochar sites, providing carbon-free electricity on site.
