CO2 / NOx / NH4 Reduction

Through the use of Bionic technology and biogenic waste products, it is possible to create a profitable CO2 sink.

With a single machine of the mf200b type, up to 15,000 tons of CO2 per year can be permanently captured. The resulting end products, such as bio-oil and organic fertilizer, have significant market value. Their sale or the use of Bionic oils in power plants contributes to a positive business case.

Integrating Bionic technology into CO2-producing manufacturing processes as a system enhancement, combined with the CO2-reducing utilization of microwave biochar, also allows for leveraging the ETS framework.

In the agricultural and livestock sectors, the application of Bionic biochar additionally reduces ammonia (NH₄) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to conventional systems.

Technology Overview: CO2 Emission Reduction through the Bionic µSoil Process

The Bionic µSoil process effectively reduces CO2 emissions through the following mechanisms:

1. Biomass Processing:

   • Biomass, such as wood waste, is processed using microwave technology and advanced catalysts to produce biochar, bio-oil, and gas.
   • The bio-oil is sold as a green raw material to refineries, replacing fossil fuels.

2. Biochar as a Carbon Sink:

   • The produced biochar is mixed with organic fertilizers and applied to soil, where its high stability ensures that it remains in the ground for hundreds of years.
   • Plants and trees processed in this system have absorbed atmospheric CO2 during their growth, which is then permanently stored in the biochar, creating a carbon sink.

3. Production of Organic Fertilizer:

   • By blending biochar with additional organic waste, high-quality organic fertilizer is produced.
   • Using this fertilizer reduces the demand for energy-intensive synthetic fertilizers, further lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Carbon Sequestration:

   • A single Bionic facility can sequester approximately 15,000 tons of CO2 equivalent annually.
   • Over a projected lifespan of at least 10 years, about 150,000 tons of CO2 equivalent can be removed from the atmosphere.

5. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability:

   • The process not only creates a CO2 sink but also produces valuable products like fertilizer and bio-oil, ensuring economic sustainability.
   • This approach aligns with Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU), which is economically more advantageous than Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

6. Long-Term Stability:

   • The infrastructure undergoes regular maintenance and technological updates, guaranteeing long-term CO2 capture.

This combination of environmental and economic benefits makes Bionic technology a highly effective tool in addressing climate challenges while creating market-ready solutions.
