1 kg of fossil reducing agents directly leads to 3,67 kg of C02 emissions from extraction. The Norwegian process industry consumes from 300,000 to 500,000 tons of fossil reducing agents, accounting for 1,835,000,000 kg of C02 equivalents. The companies with whom we currently have a memoranda of understanding have a combined consumption of over 1 million tons of carbon annually. In coal mining, there is usually a significant amount of methane left behind, which is released into the atmosphere. According to the UN report, methane emissions are 100 times more harmful to the environment than C02. The same applies to bituminous coal. Heavy metals are lifted during extraction, damaging drinking water and the ecosystem on a large scale. All of these negative effects can be avoided by using PyroBioCarbon™ as a reducing agent.

PyroBioCarbon™ is a 100% renewable reducing agent and, moreover, offers better properties than fossil alternatives.

In the production of PyroBioCarbon™ , no virgin resources are affected. all input factors are meterails that most considfer commercially worthless and environmentally detrimental. For illustration, up to 3,7 million m3 of branches and tops (GROT) are generated in Norway per year, mainly in the forestry industry, which can be freely converted into PyroBioCarbon™.
