Indonesia’s transition toward sustainable palm oil is increasingly linked to biomass utilization , biochar production and the development of circular biomass systems.

Generally speaking, the primary difference between gasification and pyrolysis lies in the presence or absence of oxygen during the thermal conversion process. In gasification, biomass is converted into a combustible gas—primarily known as syngas—by utilizing a limited and strictly controlled amount of oxygen at high temperatures. Conversely, pyrolysis involves the thermal decomposition of biomass in a completely oxygen-free environment, resulting in the production of biochar, bio-oil, and fuel gases.

The CDR International Summit 2026 concluded successfully on April 24, 2026, at the iconic Shanghai Paramount, marking a significant milestone in the global carbon removal (CDR) industry. This summit brought together representatives from Brazil, Canada, France, Portugal, Switzerland, UK, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Cambodia, India, Singapore, Vietnam, and regions like Hong Kong and Macau, to discuss the development trends and future pathways of the global carbon removal industry.

Scaling biochar production is a critical pathway for achieving large-scale carbon removal. With the vigorous growth of voluntary carbon markets, biochar will become a vital component of the carbon market in the future.

At the just-concluded Bio360 expo, HaiQi, in partnership with Miraïa, successfully participated in this grand event, one of the world's leading exhibitions for sustainable energy, biochar, and carbon removal technologies.

Global interest in biochar production has grown significantly in recent years. From agricultural residues to forestry byproducts, biomass waste holds immense value creation potential. However, not all biochar production methods are created equal. Batch and continuous biochar production are currently the most widely used technologies, each with its unique operational characteristics, advantages, and limitations. Understanding these differences is crucial for investing in biochar projects.
