CEO at Xylo Gas Oy. Our technology turns wood chips into clean synthesis gas and biochar. Continuous mode, energy efficient and minimal emissions.
In the video I give the simple explanation of why it is possible to produce both high quality biochar and clean hydrogen-rich syngas at the same time. Everything is there in the feedstock -but needs reorganizing! It is not mentioned in this video, but we do this without producing any liquid fractions at all. If tar and/or acid water are wanted, one just has to cool the pyrolysis gas and there you go. The synthesis gas has a composition very much different from the composition of pyrolysis gas.

50 + 49 + 6 = 105 % .......cam MULT !!
Fredrik Ek what you have shared is correct ,ie If we break down the organic portion of wood, its elemental composition is approximately as mentioned by you with I would say nitrogen being the missing element. Hydrogen may be 4.5 to 6 and nitrogen as low as 0.3% to 3.5%. Mostly wood has 30 to 40 percent moisture . The carbon content in biochar is after removal of moisture and volatiles. The more volatiles you remove the higher organic carbon content in the biochar also the h/c ratio in biochar will be and should be around 0.02 which also shows you the permenance value of the biochar. Thank you for this post.

Well done, sounds good 🎶 👂 👍

The technological challenge is to separate and use the components at economical conditions and in the largest possible quantities. Are there any practical solutions?

Which is the final use of syngas? What is the c/h ratio of the biochar?
