Syncraft® wood power plants

REAL (CLIMATE) POSITIVE!

With our self-developed and patented technology, we produce resource-saving and sustainable bioenergy. And this is how it works: We add forest residues from sustainably managed forests to our climate-positive energy system. Depending on the configuration and use, we generate various energy sources from it, such as electricity, heat, natural gas substitute and soon also hydrogen. And of course always with you: the vegetable carbon. Thus, our systems only release a part of the CO2 originally stored via the forest. A respectable part remains as useful, green carbon and thus makes our system climate-positive.

BIOCHAR = STORED CO2

Key role in the fight against climate change: biochar is mainly produced by carbonisation (pyrolysis), for example of wood or another biomass. In the process, around half of the carbon compounds from the biomass are not released back into the atmosphere, but remain bound as valuable carbon. If the plant carbon is not then burnt again, the carbon sink is preserved. Biochar in itself is durable and hardly decomposes biologically or chemically. If we start together globally and quickly, plant carbon can remove a good 250Gt* of CO2 from the atmosphere by the end of the century. That is about one third of the amount we need to achieve the 1.5°C climate targets.

* That´s 250,000,000 tons of CO2

THE MANY FACETS OF BIOCHAR

Biochar can be used in a variety of ways: as a soil substrate or manure additive, for example, the carbon remains stably stored in the soil for several centuries. It is therefore considered sequestered. The same applies to the use of biochar in building materials - for example, concrete, gypsum or clay made from biochar. In addition, plant carbon can also be bound in asphalt or other recyclable materials. An effective carbon sink is created. The biochar is unexpectedly multifaceted as a carbon sink - and we can use it immediately to achieve the climate goals!

OUR PATENTED FLOATING FIXED BED TECHNOLOGY

While in classic fixed-bed reactors gravity as well as the gas flow act downwards and thus cause increasing compaction, in the SynCraft fixed-bed reactor these two forces act in the opposite direction. Thanks to this difference, the char in the gasifier always remains ideally loosened and well permeable - no matter how fine or structured the wood chips were before.
