Biochar research is gaining global recognition for its role in net zero technologies, particularly through its impact on carbon capture and storage. Numerous studies have demonstrated the long-term carbon retention potential of biochar. Today, universities, laboratories, and carbon removal developers are actively testing biomass pyrolysis conditions and feedstocks to optimize both product quality and climate benefits. Supporting this effort requires advanced laboratory pyrolysis equipment — capable of precise control, wide temperature ranges, and compatibility with diverse materials.
🧪 GreenPower’s Laboratory Pyrolysis Apparatus
GreenPower has developed a modular, high-performance laboratory pyrolysis system for comprehensive R&D in biochar production, torrefaction, carbonization, gasification, and both slow and fast pyrolysis. Operating at up to 1100 °C, this platform supports investigations into thermal conversion reactions and helps define optimal processing conditions for a wide range of carbonaceous feedstocks.
📍 Project Delivered in Brazil
In January 2025, GreenPower delivered a customized lab-scale pyrolysis system to a team in Brazil focused on carbon capture and storage. The system was used for biomass pyrolysis trials using wood residues, agricultural waste, and pellets — targeting compliance with European Biochar Certificate (EBC) standards.
