Our Technology

French Carbon operates proprietary pyrolysis systems engineered for maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact:

Pyrolysis Reactors

Advanced sealed reactors operating at 500-700°C. Real-time temperature and oxygen control ensures optimal biochar quality while minimizing emissions.

Syngas Processing

Multi-stage gas cleaning systems remove particulates and tar compounds. Produces high-quality syngas for reliable turbine operation.

Power Generation

Proven turbine and generator systems. Electrical efficiency of 20-25% with heat recovery for additional uses.

Biochar Processing

Automated cooling, grinding, and quality control. All biochar produced is third-party tested and Puro.earth certified.

Co-Product Recovery

Wood vinegar and other co-products extracted and processed for agricultural and industrial applications.

Emissions Monitoring

Real-time monitoring of all stack emissions. Continuous reporting and third-party verification of carbon impact.
