Emergent Waste Solutions is a BC owned and operated company developing a novel economical thermolysis technology (ATS) to produce value-added chemicals (e.g., biochar) from biomass waste. The produced biochar material has been used for soil amendment and water or air treatment applications so far. Currently, EWS is commercializing their ATS technology to produce biochar at large scale (500-2000 kg h-1); new potential market is sought in high-end adsorption-specific applications based on electrostatic forces for energy storage and wastewater treatment purposes. EWS' biochar offers desirable potential for the electrostatic adsorption processes based on its cost-effectiveness comparing to competitive carbon-based material with costly and complicated preparation methods (e.g., carbon nanotubes). Yet, the major drawbacks of biochar samples to be used for electrostatic adsorption applications are low surface area and poor electrical conductivity.

Emergent Waste Solutions是卑诗省拥有和运营的公司，开发一种新的经济热裂解技术（ATS），从生物质废物中生产增值化学品（如生物炭）。迄今为止，所生产的生物炭材料已用于土壤改良和水或空气处理应用。目前，EWS正在将其ATS技术商业化，以大规模生产生物炭（500-2000 kg h-1）；新的潜在市场正在寻求基于静电力的高端吸附特定应用，用于储能和废水处理目的。与具有昂贵和复杂制备方法（例如碳纳米管）的竞争性碳基材料相比，EWS的生物炭具有成本效益，为静电吸附过程提供了理想的潜力。然而，用于静电吸附应用的生物炭样品的主要缺点是低表面积和导电性差。
