Biochar Yield
31.25 kg
≈ 8 gallons of milk
Carbon Sequestered
18.55 kg
≈ 9 bags of sugar
Yield Percentage31.25%
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter feedstock weight in kg and select the feedstock type (wood, agricultural residue, etc.).
- Set the pyrolysis temperature — higher temperatures (500–700°C) increase carbon stability but reduce yield.
- Review Biochar Yield (kg), Yield Percentage (%), and Carbon Sequestered (kg).
- Compare runs at different temperatures to find the optimal balance of yield and carbon sequestration.
