Development of a Hotbox Mechanism For Batch Pyrolysis Kiln Technology

CapChar的任务是在2030年之前核实100万吨隔离的二氧化碳当量。我们的创业公司正在解决能源和环境技术领域的一大挑战，特别是通过生物碳的生产和封存来解决实现英国净零排放目标的具体挑战，目的是启动英国的生物碳经济，使其能够从未来的全球温室气体清除市场中受益。以生物碳的形式将稳定的碳应用到农业土壤中，已经被认为是加强土壤中的碳封存以缓解气候变化的有效工具。它还在农业、园艺、建筑和废水管理方面提供了无数的好处。通过热解生产生物炭是可以在英国部署的解决方案之一，以实现今天的净零2050目标！CapChar认为，为了使英国新兴的生物炭产业能够实现，英国应该采用循环分散的生物炭生产过程，应该从低品位的废木中生产生物炭，并在当地应用于土壤或其他产品，作为一种快速、低碳的固碳方法。英国生物炭市场增长的一个关键障碍是能否负担得起适用于一系列较小基层企业的生产技术。建设低资本支出间歇热解技术可满足小型林地/林业/地产企业对生物炭生产的要求，这些企业可以在英国启动生物炭产业。批量热解窑作业通常效率低下，因为它们不能快速清空，从而限制了整个过程中的材料数量。该项目旨在设计、建造和测试一种安全、易用、高效的机制来清空300℃的热生物质炭批处理窑。

CapChar is on a mission to verify 1 million tonnes of sequestered carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030\. Our startup is solving a big challenge in the arena of energy and environment technologies, in particular solving the specific challenge of meeting the UK's Net Zero emissions targets through the production and sequestration of biochar with the aim of jumpstarting the UK's biochar economy enabling it to benefit from the future global market in greenhouse gas removal.Applying stable carbon into agricultural soils in the form of biochar has been recognised as an effective tool for enhancing carbon sequestration into the soil to mitigate climate change. It also offers a myriad of benefits in agriculture, horticulture, construction and waste water management. The production of biochar via pyrolysis is one of solutions that can be deployed within the UK, to meet its Net Zero 2050 goals today!To enable the UK's nascent biochar industry, CapChar believes the UK should adopt a circular decentralised process for biochar production, it should be produced from low grade waste wood and applied locally in soil or other products as a rapid, low carbon approach to carbon sequestration.A key barrier to market growth of biochar in the UK is affordability of production technology suited to a range of smaller grassroots operations. Building low CAPEX batch pyrolysis technology meets the biochar production requirements of smaller woodland/forestry/estate operations who can jumpstart a biochar industry here in the UK.Batch pyrolysis kiln operations typically suffer from inefficiency as they can't be emptied quickly, restricting the volume of material that can run through the process. This project aims to design, build and test a safe, easy to use, efficient mechanism to empty a batch kiln of hot biochar at 300?+.
