This process is called […]

We started where we’re based: Freiburg. 👣 First stop: the municipal pyrolysis plant operated by ASF (Abfallwirtschaft und Stadtreinigung Freiburg). Their PYREG unit transforms 1,000 tons of biogenic municipal waste into about 333 tons of high-grade biochar every year. […]
