BC Biocarbon
BC Biocarbon uses bio-refinery technology based on pyrolysis and gasification processes to manufacture biogenic products including biochar, biocoal, wood vinegar, light-fraction organic compounds, industrial heat, and producer gas. Our technology can process most types of carbonaceous feedstock materials giving us operational and economic flexibility. We provide synergistic solutions to a variety of sectors such as farming, forestry, and municipal waste disposal operations that have by-product waste streams. Our products offset fossil fuels and other hydrocarbon-based products, providing lower emission alternatives to industries ranging from cement and steel manufacturing to food additives. The process is carbon neutral and therefore there is no net release of CO2 into the atmosphere.
