Process Engineering

We design biomass-to-carbon systems tailored to your feedstock, site, and downstream needs. From new builds to retrofits, we manage the entire lifecycle – conceptual design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and commissioning – delivering efficient, customised solutions that maximise performance, resource recovery, and long-term operational value.

What We Offer:

  • Custom System Design: From pyrolysis and torrefaction to advanced drying systems, we engineer the backbone of your operation.
  • Reactor Integration: We design and integrate custom reactors, including fixed-bed, screw-fed, and modular units, to optimise performance.
  • Supporting Infrastructure: We handle all aspects of feedstock handling, conditioning, gas capture, combustion, and thermal recovery.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: Our support spans the entire project, ensuring a seamless transition from a paper concept to a fully operational plant.

Product Development

A carbon product is only valuable if it performs. We help unlock the potential of biomass by developing high-performance carbon products for industrial applications. Beyond biochar, we create engineered materials with tailored properties. Through rigorous testing and refinement, we ensure every specification delivers real market value and practical application.

What We Offer:

  • Material Science Expertise: We develop advanced materials for demanding applications in metallurgy, filtration, and energy storage.
  • Performance Benchmarking: We conduct rigorous testing to match the performance of your product against its intended use, from petcoke replacement in steelmaking to bio-derived filtration media.
  • Specification Support: We work with you and our lab partners to validate and refine product specs, providing the data needed for offtake agreements and compliance.

BioMass Testing

Specialised testing delivers value when results are reliable. We de-risk projects with proven methods and dedicated equipment, turning raw biomass into dependable data and insights that support smarter decisions. Acting as your technical partner, we translate testing requirements, optimise feedstock preparation, and provide insights to enhance char quality and sustainable energy outcomes.

What We Offer:

  • Biomass Conversion: Laboratory and pilot-scale conversion of biomass into char, with gas and liquid by-products captured for analysis.
  • Sizing & Screening: Preparation of consistent feedstocks through controlled sizing and screening.
    Conversion Trials: Controlled trials to support process evaluation and optimisation.
  • Proximate Analysis: Measurement of moisture, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon.
  • Granulation/Densification: Processing material to improve handling, storage, and application.

Project Management

Technology only creates impact when built. We de-risk projects with strong engineering and clear commercial logic, providing practical support to turn concepts into bankable systems. Acting as your owner’s engineer, we translate technical requirements and align contractors, investors, and councils to deliver projects efficiently, on time, and on budget.

What We Offer:

  • Comprehensive Planning: We conduct feasibility studies, site layouts, and detailed CapEx/OpEx modelling to provide a clear path forward.
  • Procurement Support: We assist with equipment specification and procurement, leveraging our industry network to secure the right technology for your needs.
  • Commissioning Assistance: We provide hands-on support during commissioning, ensuring your system starts up smoothly and operates as designed.

Project Compliance

In today’s market, projects must be accountable and credit-worthy. We design systems to meet the strict requirements of carbon markets and regulators. While we don’t claim credits for you, we ensure credit alignment from the start. Our technical expertise provides the documentation and permanence strategies needed for long-term compliance and credibility.

What We Offer:

  • Traceability & Documentation: We help you define your process mass balance and traceability to meet carbon market standards.
  • Pathway Assessments: We evaluate potential carbon credit pathways, such as the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme, and help you structure your project accordingly.
  • Technical Support: We provide technical support for interactions with registries and verifiers, helping you navigate the complexities of carbon accounting.

Specialised Biomass Testing Services

Charting a path from Fossil to Renewable Carbon

We help clients navigate their path towards fossil carbon reduction and zero waste. Our work focuses on identifying and developing systems and technologies that improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and recover value from waste streams. This isn’t about ideology—it’s about being smarter and doing better. We believe there is value in everything; it’s simply a matter of looking at it from a different perspective.
