Vermont Commercial Biochar Facility

permitting

Synergy Bioproducts is pursuing permits to build a commercial biochar facility in the Linden industrial park, Vermont. The plant will produce biochar while capturing fuel gases to generate electricity and heat used in processing. It will accept low-value woody biomass, dry the feedstock, and use captured gases for internal energy needs, generating just over 2 megawatts of electricity. The project is the first of its kind in Vermont and supports forest and farm markets by using low-value biomass.
