Key highlights
- EBC-certified biochar produced at Meva Energy's Kisa plant as a by-product of renewable biogas
- Feedstock: locally sourced biogenic residues from sawmills and process industries converted via thermochemical gasification
- Certification confirms compliance with European criteria for purity, traceability, emissions and climate impact; biochar stores biogenic carbon long-term and can substitute fossil coal in some processes
Certification
Meva Energy's Kisa plant received the European Biochar Certificate (EBC) for biochar produced as a by‑product of renewable biogas, confirming compliance with EBC criteria for climate impact, purity, traceability and environmental performance.
Production and feedstock
Biochar is produced via thermochemical gasification of locally sourced biogenic residues from nearby sawmills and process industries; on‑site production minimizes transport, reduces emissions and keeps value in the local circular bioeconomy.
Properties and applications
The certified biochar is a porous, carbon‑rich material that enhances soil structure, water retention and microbial activity while storing biogenic carbon for hundreds of years, and it can substitute fossil coal in certain industrial applications.
