Trash is cash: Decentralized conversion of biomass residues into higher-value bioproducts and biofuels

Takachar is working closely with rural communities in British Columbia and elsewhere on the implementation of field-scale prototypes, as a demonstration to turn locally available crop and forest residues into higher-value products such as biofuel feedstocks and biochar-based fertilizers. In turn, this will help offtakers of carbon-based fuels and commodities access an affordable, carbon mitigating form of feedstock. Additionally, this solution will help mitigate wildfire risks and slash pile burning emissions.

This project will result in a portable, field-scale prototype of our technology for demonstration with potential customers creating self-sufficient waste-to-vale bio economies in remote communities. The system requires no external energy to start or operate. If scaled globally, our solution has the potential to mitigate gigatonne-per-year CO2-equivalent.
