Carbonchip Mobile Carboniser #1

The biochar production project utilises eucalyptus and pine plantation residues, such as logs and branches, as feedstock to produce high-quality biochar. Sourced from sustainable plantations in Queensland, Australia, these materials are processed to support carbon sequestration and improve soil health for agricultural and environmental applications.

The project employs the Tigercat 6050 mobile pyrolysis unit, which efficiently transforms timber waste into biochar through a controlled thermal decomposition process. This technology ensures high quality biochar while minimising emissions and energy use. Additionally, it enables pyrolysis in situ, allowing the unit to move between sites. The Carbonator features air curtain technology, which helps minimise emissions by recirculating pyrolysis gases for secondary combustion.

Soil Health Improvement: The biochar enhances soil fertility, increases water retention, and improves soil structure, which leads to more resilient agricultural systems and improved crop yields.

Economic Benefits: By creating a market for biochar and collaborating with timber suppliers and end-users, the project supports local economies and promotes sustainable industry practices.

Fire Risk Management: The project reduces fire risks associated with plantation residues by converting combustible biomass into biochar. This helps lower the potential for wildfires and enhances fire prevention in forestry areas.
