How it works
1. Source Feedstock
The Club Biochar mobile system is designed to process locally sourced biomass feedstocks such as tree trimmings, crop residues, or forest material that would otherwise be under-used.
We work with foresters, farmers and disaster recovery specialists, to process large quantities of feedstock and build plans to reduce there feedstock.
2. Load
Members take the kiln to there site and load up the feedstock, ignite it and follow the instructions supplied on the kiln.
The wide opening allows manual or mechanical loading of woody or crop-based material up to 20 ft in length or 35 yd³ in volume.
3. Ignite
The flame-cap design establishes clean combustion at the surface. It’s a kiln-within-a-trailer—a rugged outer trailer with a stainless-steel inner liner and insulated lid.
The unit uses an inverse-retort (flame-cap) design where the combustion front stays on top, drawing gases through the hot zone. This reburns smoke and particulates, achieving near-zero visible emissions. Engineered for fuel efficiency and safety.
4. Monitoring
Built-in sensors record temperature and duration for consistent results. Biochar Club captures real time data on feedstock type and temperature of the load.
Minimising pyrolysis time making it the most efficient use of members resource.
5. Off load
The system will calculate when to offload the biochar into the supplied quenching pool. The systems pours the hot biochar into the quenching pool after a few minutes.
When complete, a controlled water-quench cools the char safely in minutes, locking in carbon and allowing rapid reload.
6. Rinse & repeat
The kiln door can be closed and the system is ready to reload. With the kiln holding temperatures up to 600 degrees thanks to the insultation.
At the end of each day operators can produce a report showing how many tonnes were loaded vs how many manufactured.
8. Biochar stored
The Biochar can be stored/removed from site in bulk bags. The biochar club can market this on the members behalf. Normally the majority is kept by the producer.
