Purpose and Operation:

The C1000 is engineered to transform biomass feedstocks into biochar through pyrolysis, simultaneously harnessing the thermal energy released for practical applications like feedstock drying or district heating.

Efficiency and Output:

It boasts a high production capacity, potentially yielding up to 925 tonnes of biochar per year from suitable biomass sources like tree and arboricultural chips. Its efficiency is enhanced by a low parasitic electrical load.
 

Applications:

• Biochar: The primary product, biochar, can be utilized for soil enhancement, carbon sequestration, and sold for agricultural or environmental benefits, offering significant revenue through direct sales and carbon credits.

• Energy Utilization: The system's thermal energy can be used for generating electricity or supplying green heat. For example, it can heat industrial spaces or, when paired with technologies like the Bluebox Hot Air Turbine, produce electricity, which can be sold or used on-site.
  
   

 Environmental Benefits: 

By converting waste biomass into biochar, the C1000 contributes to carbon capture and reduces landfill waste, promoting a circular economy. It also features emission control through wet flue gas scrubbing.

​

Installation and Scalability:

Woodtek's C1000 has been deployed in various settings, showcasing its adaptability and quick installation due to pre-assembled components. This system supports scalability, with some locations planning for additional units to expand capacity or diversify energy production.

 

Economic Model:

Beyond environmental benefits, the C1000 provides economic advantages by creating multiple income streams from biochar sales, carbon credits, electricity, and heat. The system's design is tailored for cost-effectiveness, with a focus on reducing operational costs and maximizing returns.

 

Innovation and R&D:

The C1000 benefits from extensive research and development, building on the operational insights from the C600 model, ensuring that the system is both reliable and at the forefront of pyrolysis technology.
