FLS, a developer specializing in sustainable forestry and decarbonization, has announced a partnership with HaiQi, an environmental technology manufacturer. Their collaboration focuses on establishing a series of biocharBiochar is a carbon-rich material created from biomass decomposition in low-oxygen conditions. It has important applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, agriculture, carbon sequestration, energy storage, and sustainable materials, promoting efficiency and reducing waste in various contexts while addressing climate change challenges. More, biocoke, and activated-carbon production projects in Paraguay. The initial endeavor will convert forestry residues into biochar using HaiQi’s advanced pyrolysisPyrolysis is a thermochemical process that converts waste biomass into bio-char, bio-oil, and pyro-gas. It offers significant advantages in waste valorization, turning low-value materials into economically valuable resources. Its versatility allows for tailored products based on operational conditions, presenting itself as a cost-effective and efficient More and gasificationGasification is a high-temperature, thermochemical process that converts carbon-based materials into a gaseous fuel called syngas and solid by-products. It takes place in an oxygen-deficient environment at temperatures typically above 750°C. Unlike combustion, which fully burns material to produce heat and carbon dioxide (CO2​), gasification More technology.

Under this agreement, FLS will take the lead in structuring and managing these projects. HaiQi will be responsible for providing, maintaining, and refining the essential technology components. A key aspect of their partnership is an exclusive commitment to working together on all biomassBiomass is a complex biological organic or non-organic solid product derived from living or recently living organism and available naturally. Various types of wastes such as animal manure, waste paper, sludge and many industrial wastes are also treated as biomass because like natural biomass these More pyrolysis projects in Paraguay for the duration of their agreement.

This initiative is set to address multiple strategic priorities for Paraguay. It aims to offer a reliable outlet for the nation’s developing forestry industry while simultaneously achieving long-term carbon removal. The projects are also designed to generate clean energy and create significant employment opportunities within the country. The partners believe this approach can become a fundamental element of Paraguay’s green industrial development, fostering economic growth, climate resilience, and technological leadership in the region. The collaboration emphasizes the importance of high-quality equipment for successful and consistent biochar and biocoke production.
