Soler Group - Carbonex

The project uses low-quality wood from forestry operations, such as diseased or thinned trees and sawmill waste and converts it into biochar through its pyrolysis program. Flue gas from the pyrolysis process is reused to generate electricity that powers the facility, with excess supplied to the local grid. Apart from agricultural applications, the project also pioneers the use of biochar in construction materials like concrete, enhancing strength and durability while permanently storing carbon.
