Faced with the challenges of climate change and the need to accelerate the energy transition, industries and local authorities are looking for innovative solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. Among the promising technologies, pyrogasification is emerging as a strategic lever for producing clean, local and circular energy.
What is pyrogasification?
Pyrogasification is a thermochemical process that transforms solid carbonaceous residues (biomass, non-recyclable waste) into a hydrogen-rich synthesis gas and carbon monoxide. This gas can then be recovered in several forms:
- Electricity and heat production
- Injection into gas networks
- Direct use in industrial processes
- Biofuel synthesis
- Low-carbon hydrogen production
A key solution for decarbonisation
Unlike fossil fuels, pyrogasification relies on renewable and local resources, reducing CO₂ emissions and dependence on energy imports. It offers several decisive advantages:
Reducing carbon emissions
By recovering organic waste and avoiding its incineration or landfill, pyrogasification contributes to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Waste recovery and the circular economy
It transforms materials considered to be waste into high value-added energy carriers, thereby optimising the use of resources.
Lower energy costs
Natural gas and electricity grid prices are heavily influenced by international markets and geopolitical crises. Using local resources provides greater stability and visibility for energy prices.
Flexibility and complementarity with other renewable energies
Unlike solar or wind power, pyrogasification guarantees stable, controllable energy production, making energy networks more resilient.
Energy sovereignty and regional development
By drawing on local biomass and waste resources, this technology promotes energy independence while creating sustainable jobs in the local area.
Another step towards a low-carbon energy mix
Choosing pyrogasification means investing in clean, circular and competitive energy. At Charwood Innovation, we are accelerating the development and deployment of this solution, to offer manufacturers and local authorities an efficient and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.
