BioTRIG

A recent study highlights the multiple benefits of adopting BioTRIG for rural communities.

About the BioTRIG:

• TheBioTRIG is a community-level pyrolysis system designed to convert rural household waste into valuable products by heating waste above 400°C in an oxygen-free chamber to produce bio-oil, syngas, and biochar fertilizer.
• The implementation of BioTRIG can reduce indoor air pollution by replacing coal with bio-oil for cooking, benefiting especially women and children, and enhance soil fertility with biochar fertilizer, leading to more productive farmland and sustainable agricultural practices.
• Additionally, BioTRIG enables the generation of clean power through the use of syngas and bio-oil, providing electricity to local homes and businesses, thus addressing the issue of unreliable grid electricity.
• The widespread adoption of this technology could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 350 kg of CO2-eq per capita annually, offering significant environmental benefits and improving public health in rural areas.

About Pyrolysis:

• Pyrolysis, the process behind BioTRIG, is a form of chemical recycling that breaks down leftover organic materials into their component molecules.
