Project Background: From Waste Challenge to Energy Integration

The customer operates in the renewable energy sector in Europe and has maintained stable cooperation with Chinese suppliers for many years. The project addressed two pressing challenges the customer faced, and the benefits plastic pyrolysis brought in response.

What the Customer Faced:

• Environmental pressure: Daily operations generate a steady volume of PP and PET waste plastic packaging, accumulating on site and requiring an urgent, sustainable disposal solution.
• Energy shortage: Local electricity prices are high, particularly in winter, when the customer’s business — which mainly covers demand through summer power — faces a persistent energy gap.

What Plastic Pyrolysis Delivered:

• Waste-to-fuel conversion: Pyrolysis converts waste plastics into fuel oil. Combined with future power generation facilities, it can help offset the customer’s winter electricity shortage.
• Reliable feedstock supply: Waste plastics and end-of-life tires are available locally at low cost, serving as supplementary feedstock for stable, long-term operation.

After a comprehensive technical and economic evaluation, the European customer selected the BLJ-16 plastic pyrolysis plant, configured with a single manifold, hydraulic feeding system, and steam boiler.

Challenges and Solutions: Rapid On-Site Response to Critical Issues

The plastic to oil machine was installed on-site by the customer’s own team. Beston Group then dispatched installation engineer to support equipment commissioning and trial production, ensuring the project reached full operation.

Results and Customer Feedback

Following the troubleshooting of the pressure surge and water seal issues, BLJ-16 pyrolysis plant entered formal trial production. The Beston engineer continued on-site monitoring to verify stable operation and performance. The trial was completed successfully, leading to on-site acceptance by the customer.

From Waste to Value: Get Your Plastic Pyrolysis Solution

With plastic waste disposal regulations becoming increasingly stringent worldwide, this European project demonstrates the potential of pyrolysis as a practical waste-to-energy solution. By converting plastic waste into fuel oil, the project not only addresses the challenge of daily waste disposal but also helps alleviate the customer’s persistent energy shortage. Since every customer’s waste stream, feedstock availability, and end-product utilization needs are different, Beston Group provides tailored plastic pyrolysis solutions based on specific project requirements.

Project Background: Breaking Free from Rising Energy Costs

The client owns and operates multiple industrial factories in the local region. As business operations continued to expand, the demand for industrial fuel across various production lines kept rising. High and persistent energy costs had become a core issue constraining overall profitability. Recognizing that tire pyrolysis oil could serve as a cost-effective alternative fuel, the client invested in this tire-to-energy project to significantly cut fuel expenses.

Solution: Tire Pyrolysis + Distillation

Based on in-depth communication with the client, we designed a customized solution with a processing capacity of 8-10 tons per day, consisting of one tyre pyrolysis unit and one distillation unit.

Results and Long-Term Value

After installation and commissioning, the system run smoothly and its oil yield satisfies expected standards. Self-sufficiency in fuel oil sinificantly reduce the client’s overall fuel procurement costs across its factories by more than 30%.

For energy-intensive industries, the value of such a tire pyrolysis recycling project goes far beyond “eco-friendly processing waste tires.” It offers a practical path to lowering costs, stabilizing fuel supply, and even generating incremental revenue. This is also why we continue to provide sustainable pyrolysis solutions to clients around the world.

Project Background: Cross-Regional Synergy Between Policy and Feedstock

In February 2026, the EU formally adopted the first certified methodologies under the Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming Certification Framework (CRCF), classifying biochar carbon removal as a permanent removal pathway. Yet scaling biochar projects ultimately depends on sustained feedstock supply — a constraint in Europe itself. Southeast Asia, backed by abundant agricultural residues, has become one of the regions with the highest concentration of biochar carbon removal projects worldwide.
Our client, a European carbon removal developer, recognized this gap: policy recognition was already in place in Europe, while feedstock supply capacity sat in Southeast Asia. The developer partnered with a local Southeast Asian government, selecting palm kernel shell (PKS) — a byproduct of the region’s palm processing industry — as feedstock, launching a biochar carbon sink project that connects policy certainty in Europe with feedstock supply in Southeast Asia.

Project Information: Customized Configuration Based on PKS Characteristics

This PKS biochar carbon sink project is being built in two phases, with all biochar production equipment now fully manufactured. Both phases use an identical configuration, providing a consistent standard for future capacity expansion and equipment maintenance. Once complete, the project will produce 12,000 tons of biochar and remove 24,000 tons of CO₂ annually. Based on PKS characteristics, our engineering team designed the following customized configuration:

Project Timeline: Tightly Controlled Delivery Execution

Both phases followed a unified project management process from order to delivery:

• Production scheduling: Pyrolysis equipment manufacturing scheduled by order sequence to lock in delivery timelines
• Progress tracking: Regular checks on installation progress during production, with updates shared promptly with the client
• Factory inspection: Each unit undergoes quality inspection before leaving the factory, confirming operating parameters meet specification
• Shipping verification: Parts and components checked against packing lists before shipment to prevent missing items on arrival
• Ocean freight coordination: Shipping logistics coordinated centrally, with transit milestones tracked to keep arrival times on schedule

Next Steps: From Equipment Installation to Carbon Credit Realization

Both biochar machines are scheduled for simultaneous installation in September 2026, with Beston engineers traveling on-site to guide installation and commissioning. Equipment and supporting facilities construction marks only the midpoint of the project cycle. Once both production lines reach full processing capacity, the annual 12,000 tons of biochar still need MRV data collection and third-party verification. Only then does it convert into 24,000 tons of tradable carbon credits. We will continue to update you on-site installation and commissioning information, so please stay tuned.

1. Project Overview

• Equipment Configuration: charcoal making machine +extended drum dryer + rotary screening
• Raw Materials: wood processing residues (pine chips and sawdust)
• End-Use Application: export-grade BBQ charcoal
• Project Status: installation and commissioning completed; now in full-scale production

2. Challenge: The “Wood Mountain” Dilemma

Background:

In a region of Europe with abundant forestry resources, a large sawmill operated by our client was facing a tough challenge. As the production of timber steadily increased year after year, the by-products, pine wood chips, wood scraps, and sawdust, piled up in the factory.

The Client’s Situation:

Initially, the client’s plan was to sell the wood chips at a low price to a local paper mill. However, this strategy proved both unprofitable and insufficient, as the waste material accumulated much faster than it could be processed. Worse still, the factory was overwhelmed with wood waste, which creates significant fire hazards. These wood chips became a “burden” that was neither useful nor easily disposed of.

Solution: Rigorous Material Screening

The client turned to Beston Group for a sustainable transformation. They hope to convert timber waste into export-grade BBQ charcoal through our wood charcoal machine. However, a key challenge emerged early in the planning stage: the material was extremely uneven. Since it was leftover from timber processing, it contained both large wood chips and fine sawdust particles.

• Technical Adjustment: After multiple discussions and material tests by our technical team, we discovered that sawdust finer than 1-3mm negatively impacted the airflow in the main furnace and compromised the quality of carbonization.
• Solution: We decided to exclude fine sawdust from the pyrolysis process. Additionally, our technical team added a dedicated rotary screening production line to ensure the material entering  charcoal furnace was uniform in size. This adjustment guaranteed that the finished charcoal met export-grade standards for both hardness and calorific value.

3. Delivery: Professional Support Across Thousands of Kilometers

After the client received the equipment on schedule, our installation engineers traveled to Europe between September and November 2025. During their stay, the engineers successfully transformed what began as a “pile of parts” into a “modernized factory”:

• High Engineering Standards: From the inlet head to the combustible gas piping, every single weld undergoes rigorous pressure testing. Beyond mechanical assembly, our installation engineers performed secondary optimizations on-site to navigate complex piping layouts.
• Context-Specific Adjustments: Taking local climate conditions into account, the installation team meticulously applied insulation to all critical pipelines. This ensures the equipment maintains peak operational stability even in extreme cold.
• Comprehensive Operational Training: Upon completing complex electrical commissioning, our engineers provided comprehensive technical training to local operators, successfully distilling intricate equipment structures into standardized operating manuals.

4. Results: The Sawmill’s Remarkable Transformation

In late November 2025, the equipment was successfully commissioned. As the first batch of hard, dark metallic-glossed pine charcoal was produced, the project was successfully completed:

After the equipment was up and running, the European client commented: “What we needed was not just a machine, but a solution that could address real-world problems. The professionalism and meticulous planning of Beston Group’s engineering team showed us the true commercial value behind the waste wood”
