Our Story

Pyrocal was founded in 2014 to find a solution to reduce and add value to the growing volume of non-recyclable waste produced from agriculture.

Fast forward to today, and our story has evolved from having a waste focus to Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). Undoubtedly this is the defining challenge of our era that requires a collective response on a global scale to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The IPCC has assessed that biochar has the potential to remove 2.6 billion tonnes of CO2 per year, highlighting its importance as a carbon removal technology.

We have the benefit of nine years of research and development designing, building and installing industrial-scale biochar production systems in Australia, Asia and the US, positioning us as a global leader at the forefront of engineered CDR.

Our systems are manufactured in Australia from high quality materials sourced globally. We are uniquely positioned to run full-scale trials at our demonstration plant at Wellcamp in South East Queensland, where we also produce and sell biochar from nutshells and generate carbon offset credits that are registered with the world’s leading platform for engineered carbon removal, Puro.earth.

Our Team

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.
