Idea to couple the production of [biochar] with [lime] burning. The pyrolysis gas generated during char production is not flared off but used to make quicklime, which has many uses in construction and other areas. The process is carbon-negative. This type of production needs relatively close ('round the clock) monitoring but there is potential for automation.
