- Robert "charmaster" Laird takes us through the process of making biochar and wood vinegar from waste using Carbon Offset Zone's mobile pyrolysis units.

Hey awesome video thanks for sharing. The guy making the video with the Green Pyrolysis machine sounded South African.... Are these units available here? please let me know. very interested in one like this.
Love it!
Thanks!!
Why do you grind it to small part like that?
do u make brikets after or?
I mean for grill u need big lumps
Hi there. I about to make my first large batch of biochar. I am Interested to know more about the grinder you are using and the modifications you did to make the hopper for the char to feed the grinder. What model is the machine?
i thought you were gonna burn them. what are you planning to do exactly?
We cotton stalk material in size of 1 to 3 inches which method is suitable for us
Can this works with sawdust also
Hi guys I am west Africa how can i get one of this
What kind of metal to use to keep it from being corroded over time?
GOOD 💚
How can get one of it.
I am interested in this unit. I would like to make biochar from palm kernel shells at least 1T per batch. Can you kindly send me details about conversion ratios, price of unit and your current location?
Hi guys i am from South Africa how do I get one of these
What brand of garden chipper please
It won't matter what particular brand you use. You will see that I modified mine a bit, with a pot plant pot for a funnel, and the outlet tightly going into a plastic drum, to reduce dust. I wear a mask too!

The reason I asked is because I bought a leaf and small branch chipper and it doesn’t chop it up in small even pieces like yours looks like
I can run it threw 3 times and it still leaves chunks

Cool but the music is just awful sorry
Thanks for the feedback. A lot of people like it.
You can't please everyone. 😊

How many Biochar?
Kilo?
Typ 1 How many Kilo Biochar
Typ 2 How many Kilo Biochar
The video shows a comparison of both units with some actual figures.
These may vary higher or lower, depending on feedstock.

Couldn't you have done this with just a big clay mound?
Burying it releases many greenhouse gases, which are harmful in the atmosphere. This process is carbon negative!
You can't collect wood vinegar by burying it either.
I don’t know what wood vinegar is.
I do remember reading or watching videos about turpentine and pine tar etc. Centuries ago in Sweden or Norway they would bury logs and make charcoal. But in the bottom they’d have channels so pine tar could run out or collect. They maybe had a rock channel or used mortar. But ya it’s interesting but not surprising cause if Columbus came to the Americas in 1492 they had to have had pine tar back then tk water proof the ships I’d assume.
I’d think carbon is bad for the atmosphere cause carbon is plant food. People should look up the 89 year weather cycle of global warming confirmed by tree rings going back centuries.
Look up the Great Depression in the U.S. there was the dust bowl which everyone blamed on farming. But look up stuff. You’ll see Kansas got to 115 degrees. The heartland or bread basket of America got as hot as Phoenix or Las Vegas back in the 1930s!!!
But I totally agree with you that your setup is great cause you can collect the pine tar and other volatiles. Well not all of them. I remember one video in Georgie I believe. They would do pyrolysis but see your setup burns the wood volatile gases. In some setups the wood gas is taken throw a copper pipe to distill in cold water and end up in a barrel. Maybe that’s the turpentine can’t remember.
But I love your setup. If someone was burning pine it’d be amazing to catch pine tar.
My question is do you only sell these setups in the video? Are you an engineer or did you use an engineering firm?
A few years ago we moved a large dump trailer used on a garbage truck. It’s like 30 feet long maybe. The one end has a hing so it swings up. I thought to myself now that would be amazing to make charcoal and tilt it so pine tar runs down to one end.
A lot of logging sites or sites that were chained with anchor chain has a limitless supply of pine stumps from the 1960s and more recent chaining in western U.S.
To be economical you’d probably need a semi trailer or maybe a shorter 30 foot trailer with your biochar maker. I suppose it’d take days of burning for stumps to turn into charcoal but you would be able to collect drums of pine tar.
Oh my question was do you make any thirty foot long? You’d need long ones if you were to do large volumes of stumps. Or do you consult or sell your attachments and setup for those that would build their own?
I bet you could sell a few big setups to the logging industry or others in areas that have logging going on.
Look up in Utah how the government pays for lop and scatter. They pay people to cut down trees and just leave them there or pile em up. Sometimes they burn them, but if you had your setup you could make charcoal up in the mountains.
I clicked your link and it shows you sell plans which is a great idea. I guess my only question is could you use your plans if I bought it and expand the length of the tank to be way longer so it could do volume and be more economical for large quantities of wood?
Another idea I’ve heard is Bitcoin miners using flare off from oil rigs to produce energy to mine Bitcoin.
If you guys design these things you maybe could design a biochar maker where the wood gas is moved to an electricity burner to produce energy for Bitcoin miners and then just use junk wood to heat up the biochar tank. That way companies can claim their Bitcoin miners are green and is removing carbon as charcoal is a stable form of carbon that’s sequestered.
@koltoncrane3099 I am an engineer, and have built 40 foot container units, which proved very expensive and cumbersome. Most people want small mobile units, which is why I designed these.
The music really sucks. Totally unnecessary.
Full of tar and oils.... :/
No, the tar and oil has been removed and collected, which is shown in the video at 1.40 and 4.10.
