Development of a Market Model for the Trading of Wood Fuels and Biochar

Abstract

Pyronet is a start-up developing climate-positive pyrolysis heating systems. The heaters produce high-quality biochar which has several possible applications, especially with a growing demand in the agricultural sector. In addition, the carbon sequestration by the heaters can permanently reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. For the PyroHeat product line, which is currently in development for residential heating, the logistics and economic viability of the operations are assessed in this thesis.
