About project
Solör Bioenergy Group is a renewable energy company specialising in the production and distribution of district heating, steam, and electricity. In recent years, the company has retrofitted its operations to produce biochar, recognising its potential in carbon sequestration and soil enhancement. This strategic adaptation aligns with Solör's commitment to more sustainable energy solutions and the principles of a circular economy.
About supplier
Biokolprodukter Global, established in 2019, is a Swedish company that partners with projects to help them improve their existing bioenergy facilities to simultaneously produce biochar. They specialise in the development and sale of biochar products aimed at enhancing soil quality and combating climate change. Their offerings include pure biochar, nutrient-enriched biochar blends, and machinery for biochar production.
Benefits of Project & Method
- The projects do not require additional land development as they are initiated from improving (or retrofitting) an existing bioenergy facility to produce biochar.
- The biochar end-product is stored in urban soils permanently for 100+ years.
- Biochar used in an urban context has well-documented evidence in to support its creating resilient vegetation and, by extension, cities and habitats.
- When used to improve soil, biochar enhances plant health by strengthening soil structure and boosting its overall quality.
- The project transforms bark and wood residues from forestry operations, sawmills or similar operations.
- The process also produces 100+ MWh of electricity and 7000+ MWh of thermal energy for internal use and supplies the surplus to the district.
- The project’s MRV system uses Carbonfuture’s dMRV+ that helps track and trace the carbon from sequestration to final storage site.
- Certification: European Biochar Certificate (EBC)
