Questions & answers

How does the technology work?

“By taking sustainably sourced waste wood from domestic timber production and then processing it in three ways: producing biochar (a product similar to charcoal); generating heat and power; and capturing carbon dioxide from the exhaust. The technology, therefore, captures around 90% of the carbon content in the wood.”

How effective is it at capturing CO2?

“Around 50% of the carbon in the waste material is captured in the biochar resulting from the pyrolysis process. The remaining carbon in the feedstock is released as carbon dioxide in the flue gas coming out of the combustor.”

Who do you supply to?

“We supply to direct to OEMs, tiered suppliers, race teams, prime contractors, and vehicle design authorities. Element is not available for aftermarket supply.”
