GCS produces sustainable bio-oil through its closed-loop, biomass pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis vapors not used in energy production are condensed to form bio-oil.
Pyrolysis bio-oil is a dark, viscous liquid complex of oxygenated hydrocarbons, phenols, acids and other compounds. This oil is a precursor for a wide range of organic compounds and specialty chemicals:
Renewable fuels
Wood vinegar for agriculture
Organic pest repellent and anti-fungal
Bio-based binders and bitumen additives
If not consumed and rather sequestered, bio-oil can provide high-quality carbon credits.
The light fraction of pyrolysis oil can be further refined into a liquid called ‘wood vinegar’. Wood vinegars are highly sought after as natural pesticides, produce preservatives, and growth agents in organic farming. There are also a variety of medicinal, cosmetic, and food grade applications for wood vinegar.
This heavier, thick fraction of pyrolysis oil can be used in a variety of applications ranging from bio-based binders to heating hospitals and large buildings. It is also used as sustainable marine and airline fuels as well as in green hydrogen production.
Every ton of GCS bio-oil is equivalent to approximately 2 tons of CO2 extracted from the air via photosynthesis. That oil can be injected and stored deep underground in salt caverns and disposal wells where the carbon becomes permanently sequestered…effectively putting it back in the ground.
The underground sequestration of bio-oil is an effective solution to storing CO2 permanently.
