Behind every carbon credit, you could find a completely different project, a different quantification method, a different verification system. For buyers, checking each one individually is close to impossible. “Is this batch of credits actually any good?” has always been a question the voluntary carbon market can’t avoid. So the … Read more
While pyrolysis technology is a proven, eco-friendly solution for municipal sewage sludge, applying this technology to industrial sludge presents severe operational risks. Industrial wastewater residues carry complex chemical contaminants and heavy metals that cause rapid equipment damage, frequent system downtime, and non-compliant end products. Understanding these chemical boundaries is essential … Read more
The short answer is: sometimes. Sewage sludge biochar can be used on farm fields in some places, but not everywhere and not from every sludge. The EU currently excludes it from agricultural use under its fertiliser regulation, while several member states and other countries allow it under national rules. Whether … Read more
On August 12, 2026, the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) enters general application. This marks a new stage for Europe’s packaging circularity system. The regulation pushes for less packaging, recyclable design, and recycled-content targets. Together, these will further speed up the upgrade of the global plastics circular supply … Read more
Biochar metallurgy is increasingly regarded as a key pathway for deep decarbonization in the metallurgical industry beyond 2030. By replacing fossil-based coke with sustainable biochar, it can potentially serve two critical functions: as a reducing agent and as a heat source. However, this is not a technology that can be … Read more
Contaminated soil and oil sludge management is a critical priority under strict ESG standards. While thermal desorption technology offers the industry-standard solution, performance varies across three primary configurations: ex-situ direct heating, in-situ indirect heating, and ex-situ indirect heating. So, how do you evaluate these options to choose the right TDU … Read more

In recent years, global wildfire-affected areas have repeatedly reached new records in satellite monitoring data. The cause is not a single accidental spark, but the continuous accumulation of untreated combustible materials, forestry biomass. Biochar production offers a different approach: converting forest biomass into carbon-storing products through pyrolysis. This helps forest … Read more
For the biochar carbon removal industry, June 2026 marks a date worth remembering. SBTi released its Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0. For the first time, its Ongoing Emissions Responsibility (OER) framework writes carbon removal into a corporate compliance framework. This is not an optional ESG add-on. Instead, it is an institutional … Read more
A common point of confusion in the waste management involves whether a Thermal Desorption Unit (TDU) is a suitable solution for recycling used engine oil or pure liquid waste oils. While TDUs are highly efficient for hazardous waste treatment, they are designed for solid-phase matrices, meaning pure liquid waste oils … Read more
