About Us

Pyrocal Pty Ltd is a proudly Australian-owned engineering company founded in 2014, with a mission to deliver cutting-edge carbonisation solutions for a sustainable future.

The company’s origins trace back to early innovations in carbonisation technology dating back to 2009. This pioneering work has since led to installations across eight countries, including Australia, India, Germany, the UK, Haiti, Canada, the USA, and Vietnam.

Pyrocal has built a highly experienced, multidisciplinary team with core competencies in engineering, manufacturing, agriculture, distribution, government and carbon markets. This allows us to add value at each stage of our client engagement, and to ensure that each system that leaves our facility is optimized to achieve our clients’ goals
