Innovation
Using a novel thermo-chemical process, Takachar has developed and patented the design of small-scale, low-cost, portable equipment to convert waste biomass into solid fuel, fertilizer, and other carbon-based specialty chemicals. Compared to the process of sending waste biomass to centralized conversion facilities, Takachar's system is more profitable by significantly reducing the logistics cost of hauling loose, wet, and bulky biomass. The equipment does not require an external source of energy for the thermo-chemical process, making it suitable to be deployed in remote, rural, areas.
