Sustainable & economical

Sustainability that pays off - for your company and the planet.

Our product

With our innovative pyrolysis technology you can

Turning unused biomass into cash

produce a high-quality and climate-positive gas for generating electricity and heat

sustainably remove CO2 from the atmosphere and thus save the climate

obtain certified biochar at the highest level and either use it yourself or sell it on

earn money through climate protection, because you can easily monetize the stored CO2 through CO2 certificates

The process

01 ORGANIC RESIDUES

Biomass is carbonized and gasified in a pyrolysis process. The materials that can be processed include all carbonaceous materials, such as residual and waste wood, pomace, sewage sludge, green waste, mill and fermentation residues.

02 PYROLYSEGAS

This produces an energy-rich pyrolysis gas composed of approx. 25 % hydrogen, 30 % carbon monoxide, 15 % methane and 25 % carbon dioxide. These ratios can vary depending on the process control and water content.

03 BIOCHAR

Another product is biochar, a substance with almost limitless applications. In soils, it has been scientifically proven to lead to a sustainable build-up of humus and an increase in nutrient and water storage capacity. Furthermore, it is probably currently the most scalable solution for the permanent removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. This removal can be traded via carbon dioxide removal certificates.

Applications

620,000 Potential autarky systems worldwide

By upgrading poorly utilized biomass, 620,000 potential self-sufficient plants could be realized worldwide. This would have numerous positive effects on energy supply and environmental protection.

Supply 250 million households with climate-neutral energy

Remove 1.5 gigatons ofCO2 from the atmosphere

Freeing 250 million hectares of land from agrochemicals

biochar in soils has been scientifically proven to lead to a sustainable build-up of humus and an increase in nutrient and water storage capacity.

What our partners and customers say about autarkize

Energy and environmental service provider
"autarkize offers an impressively sophisticated technology that not only supplies a highly energetic and climate-neutral gas, but also produces high-quality biochar . This combination of sustainable energy production and CO₂ storage in a compact and decentralized system is a real game changer for us."
Harald Ley
Green Innovations
Expert for biochar
"The autarkize technology is the ideal addition to existing biogas plants. The pyrolysis gas produced can be fed directly into the existing infrastructure, allowing existing plants to be expanded efficiently without any major additional expense. Thanks to the significantly lower gas production costs, the profitability of the biogas plant is noticeably improved. At the same time, high-quality biochar is produced, which binds CO₂ in the long term and opens up additional economic potential."
