Pyrochar Pty Ltd

Pyrochar Pty Ltd is a leading Australian renewable energy company, driving the global transition to sustainable biofuels and bio-carbon products. With a strong focus on decarbonizing heavy industries, Pyrochar leverages its exclusive partnership with CSIRO, Australia’s National Science Agency, to develop cutting-edge technologies protected by multiple patents.

Pyrochar's project portfolio includes:

1. Melbourne R&D Facility: An operational innovation hub advancing proprietary biofuel processes.
2. Malaysia Commercial Facility: A large-scale plant supplying bio-carbon and biofuels across Asia.
3. Darwin Facility (Under Construction): A commercial site converting green waste into bio-carbon, bio-oil, and clean energy.

The upcoming Bio Energy project in Triệu Hải, Vietnam, marks Pyrochar’s third commercial biofuel venture, reinforcing its position as a global leader in renewable energy.

Opening in early 2027, the Pyrochar Bio Energy Project will be a flagship renewable energy and bio-carbon facility, transforming sustainable bamboo into high-value bio-products. Located on a 4,000-hectare greenfield site in Triệu Hải, Vietnam, the project integrates a Bamboo Bio Energy Plantation with a state-of-the-art production facility.

The project has secured 100% financing from MB Bank (Vietnamese commercial bank), with a confirmed commitment of USD$56 million (approx. AUD$85 million), ensuring a strong financial foundation. Supported by Tier 1 banks and robust financial structuring, the Pyrochar Bio Energy Project is projected to be cashflow positive from its first year, with secured annual revenue of USD$60.4 million (AUD$91.6 million) and projected profit before tax of $23.6 million (AUD$35.8 million).

The project is strategically backed by both the Australian and Vietnamese governments and has an exclusive partnership with CSIRO, Australia’s National Science Agency. All necessary state and environmental permits are secured, and the project is designated as a Project of National Significance, emphasizing its role in advancing Vietnam’s green energy goals.

Key Project Outputs:

• 150,000 tonnes of bio-carbon annually for the steel and metal industries
• 100,000 tonnes of bio-oil for sustainable aviation fuel
• 100 MW of clean electricity generated to support local communities
• Over 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ offset annually through carbon sequestration

With construction starting in April 2025, the project will be fully operational by March 2027.

Pyrochar Pty Ltd employs advanced, self-sustaining pyrolysis technology, originally developed by CSIRO, to produce high-grade char from organic biowaste.

This exothermal process operates without the need for external heat or energy, ensuring exceptional energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. By leveraging renewable carbon sources such as forestry residues and agricultural waste, Pyrochar significantly reduces carbon emissions, supporting the metallurgical industry’s transition towards net-zero emissions.

The company's innovative technology is revolutionising steel production, enabling the manufacture of high-quality, sustainable products while mitigating the environmental impact traditionally associated with fossil fuel-based methods.

Pyrochar Pty Ltd offers a range of high-grade char products specifically designed to replace coal and coke in the metallurgical industry. These products provide a clean, sustainable alternative to conventional carbon sources, supporting the industry’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact.

By utilising renewable carbon sources, such as forestry and agricultural waste, Pyrochar ensures its products have a low carbon footprint and minimal environmental impact. The company remains committed to innovation, with ongoing research and development aimed at refining its product offerings and expanding its portfolio.

Net Zero Carbon: Metal Production

Sustainability underpins every aspect of Pyrochar's operations. Its advanced clean char production technology is engineered to drastically reduce carbon emissions, while the use of renewable carbon sources ensures the creation of genuinely sustainable products.

Pyrochar is dedicated to minimising environmental impact and continually seeks to enhance its processes, further reducing its carbon footprint. The company’s mission is to foster a cleaner, more sustainable future for the metal production industry, prioritising environmental responsibility and long-term sustainability.

Net Zero Emissions

Pyrochar provides a renewable, net-zero carbon source capable of replacing the most environmentally harmful agents in high-temperature industrial applications. Substituting coal with Pyrochar’s clean char can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the steelmaking process by an estimated 30-60%.

Moreover, Pyrochar’s innovative technology ensures that its metallurgic char is Carbon Zero, while also producing valuable by-products such as organic liquids and simple organic gases, contributing to a circular and sustainable industrial ecosystem.
