  • R&D of pilot biochar production: conduct testing of feedstock characteristics and testing or forecasting of biochar properties based on potential pyrolysis technology to identify optimal processing conditions, technology requirements, and output characteristic.
  • Propose technology options of biochar equipment and processing to meet with global standard (European Biochar Certificate or International Biochar Initiative): assess pyrolysis technologies available globally that can be replicated and adapted for organic mango waste ensuring compliance with standards for future commercialisation of biofertiliser and carbon credit potential (biochar carbon removal).
  • Financial modelling of the pilot and scaled-up biochar facility investment: provide a comprehensive analysis of CAPEX and OPEX for a pilot and scalable biochar production facilities, based on feedstock availability findings and aligned with industry standards.
