Our solution

What is Pyrochemy?

Pyrochemy is a novel waste to energy technology developed by PyroGenesys and our consortium partners.
The Pyrochemy process turns waste biomass into a decentralised source of combined cooling, heat, power (CCHP) and value-added commodities (e.g. Biochar smokeless fuel briquettes).
The Pyrochemy CCHP concept is designed to handle a much wider range of feedstocks than the conventional gasifier technologies currently on the market.
By processing high volumes of cheap, abundant waste biomass, Pyrochemy will be able to provide clean-carbon neutral cooling, heat & power at a very competitive unit cost per kWh.

Pyrochemy deployment

Pyrochemy has been developed for deployment across the African continent, where the need for energy access is greatest.
The Pyrochemy system, illustrated in this image, is ideally suited to African food processors and farming communities. We are in the process of assessing the business case at numerous locations, to ensure energy use demand can be met by converting locally available agricultural waste.
We have mapped and surveyed the crop types/availability and energy use of many  African villages, and assessed the technical readiness level of proposed Pyrochemy installation sites.
