ÖKT Offenhausen
ÖKT Offenhausen is located in Bavaria, Germany. The project has developed an innovative pyrolysis system that dries sewage sludge and other organic residues to create a nutrient-rich biochar as a soil additive. It also creates pyrolysis gas which can be used to provide thermal energy for the drying process. ÖKT’s production process is certified by EBC and EBC Agro-Bio. The resulting biochar has several applications, including enhancing biogas production and soil quality.

Benefits of Project & Method
- Permanence of 100+ years
- Certified by EBC C-sink standards.
- Utilities sewage sludge and other organic waste inputs to produce biochar. This is sourced from regional waste management, supporting a local circular economy.
- Biochar application improves crop yield and soil fertility by improving its nutrient availability and water retention capacity, when applied to fields.
- Biochar application also reduces the use of synthetic fertilisers and the subsequent flow of nutrient pollution into local waterways.
- Monitoring and reporting of the project is performed using Cula Technologies, which uses real-time data integration, end-to-end monitoring, and tracks biomass availability, carbon sequestration, and public data.
- Contributes to sustainable energy generation.
- The project utilises a pyrolysis system with high Technological Readiness Level (TRL).
