Through pyrolysis, Dowmann converts biomass waste into biochar, a potent carbon storage solution. Biochar not only securely locks away carbon for the long term but also has versatile applications, benefiting soil health, wastewater treatment, and building materials. The renewable fuel and electricity generated contribute to steering the world away from fossil fuel dependence.

Dowmann champions positive climate impact by first reducing waste and then converting it into biochar, ensuring long-term carbon removal. Additional wins include decarbonising the electricity grid and heavy industries like cement and steel manufacturing.
