When Olive Pomace Meets Vacuum Pyrolysis: Unlocking Efficient Biochar Production & Potential 

Scientific breakthrough alert! New research reveals how vacuum pyrolysis can transform common agro-waste—olive pomace—into high-performance biochar.

The study published in Results in Engineering shows that under specific conditions (500°C, 15-20 kPa):

• High Efficiency: 30.9% biochar yield with 20% better carbon retention
• Strong Sequestration: 2.6 tons CO₂ equivalent stored per ton of biochar
• Energy Smart: Process gases can recycle 70-90% of system heat demand
• Soil Friendly: Rich in key nutrients (P ↑293%, K ↑253%) with pH 9.8

This represents not just waste valorization, but an innovative solution for sustainable agriculture and carbon reduction!
