Biocarbon Tech Asia – Project now live on puro.earth

Our first plant in SE Asia is now live as a listing on puro.earth. A second facility will be announced in the coming months.

We’re excited to announce that our first project in SE Asia has just gone live on the puro.earth site. Construction is well underway meaning the production of biochar and other commodities will begin in the coming months. This in turn will see carbon credits come online for Biocarbon Tech Asia very soon.

Located in Sabah, East Malaysia, Biocarbon Technologies has already implemented several initiatives on its palm plantation to make their site operations green. Some examples include anaerobic digestion plant, biomass boiler to generate green electricity and running biomethane-fuelled truck fleets. However, it soon became clear that pyrolysis would be a better way of handling palm tree trunks than composting, both economically and environmentally.

Biocarbon Tech Asia is a pyrolysis project being developed in Malaysia that will pyrolyse palm trunk waste, bamboo and other agricultural residue to produce biochar and green energy while sequestering carbon. The project intends to establish a truly circular model for operating palm plantations that will not only upcycle every waste stream generated on site but also remove carbon, reduce fertiliser dependencies and meet local energy requirements.

Excitingly, the project will provide local employment opportunities. It will also act as a role model for palm plantations worldwide, as we will share our operation model with the palm industry to help maximise the upcycling of waste streams and unlock both environmental and economic profits.

Biocarbon Tech Asia is just the start of our journey in SE Asia though, and we hope to announce our next project and facility very soon.
