Biochar
Description
In March 2023 we launched our first biochar facility in Concepción, Bolivia. With the remaining two set to begin operations by December 2023 and March 2024. Together, these facilities will leverage the power of Biochar to sequester up to 200,000 tons of CO2 annually. But our vision goes beyond environmental impact. Exomad Green is about creating a better, more sustainable world for everyone. We're striving to improve the quality of life for over 250,000 regional inhabitants, generate green jobs, foster local economic growth, and champion environmental justice across the region. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey, turning residues into wealth and cultivating a more sustainable future. Our process begins at the source with the collection of biomass residues from local sawmills, providing us with an abundant, renewable source of biomass. The biomass is then transported to our state-of-the-art pyrolysis plant, where it undergoes a meticulous sorting and pre- treatment process that includes pre-drying and grinding, using energy-efficient machinery. The biomass is then subjected to pyrolysis at approximately 600 degrees Celsius, during which the carbon in the biomass is trapped, preventing it from being released as carbon dioxide. This results in the production of biochar, a rich carbon product with a unique honeycomb-like structure, ideal for soil enhancement. The biochar we produce improves soil fertility by increasing its capacity to retain water and Bringing buyer and seller together! 1/6 Exomad Green Price 140 € / CORC https://puro.earth/100289 file:///tmp/www.exomadgreen.com tel:www.exomadgreen.com nutrients, enhancing microbial activity, regulating soil pH, and aiding in soil remediation by absorbing toxins and heavy metals. We then donate our biochar to local indigenous communities, empowering them to enhance their agricultural yields. By doing so, we not only support their livelihoods but also actively contribute to reducing deforestation, ensuring the preservation and sustainable use of our invaluable South American forests. But the benefits of our project do not stop at soil improvement for the local communities. Exomad Green is committed to exceeding environmental standards. We adhere strictly to local and national regulations and have implemented a water treatment plan, enabling us to recycle and reuse water within the plant. We also employ a system for the effective capture and utilization of bio-oil and syngas by-products of the pyrolysis process, further minimizing our environmental footprint. By leveraging the pyrolysis process, we ensure that more than 70% of the heat generated is reused, further boosting our energy efficiency. The syngas produced during pyrolysis is also captured and used as a source of energy within the plant, reducing our reliance on external energy sources. Through our operations, we not only reduce air pollution and fire risks associated with the improper disposal or incineration of biomass residues but also aim to improve air quality for around 250,000 people. We're proud to be contributing to an environmentally friendly solution that simultaneously improves community health. In terms of social impact, we are currently creating green tech jobs for the community, with approximately 50 direct and 200 indirect employments. But we aim to triple this numbers by 2025. We comply with all local and national regulations regarding insurance and social benefits for our employees, providing dignified, sustainable employment. Exomad Green's Sustainable Biochar Project is a shining example of a circular economy model that addresses multiple environmental challenges. The project embodies the true essence of sustainability, combining economic viability with environmental responsibility and social equity.
