Powermax was honored to participate in the North American Biochar Conference (NABC) 2025, a premier gathering for innovators, researchers, and practitioners in the biochar and bioenergy sectors. At this event, we presented two of our flagship technologies—Pyrogreen carbonization systems and Biowatt skid-mounted gasification units—demonstrating how biomass can be transformed into both renewable energy and carbon removal solutions.   At the Pyrogreen booth, visitors explored how our advanced carbonization furnaces convert agricultural residues, forestry byproducts, and other biomass feedstocks into high-quality biochar. This biochar not only contributes to long-term carbon sequestration but also improves soil fertility, offering a practical pathway to sustainable agriculture and climate resilience.   Meanwhile, the Biowatt integrated gasification systems drew significant attention for their containerized, modular design—an efficient and scalable solution for decentralized power generation. Beyond producing clean syngas for energy, these units also generate biochar as a valuable byproduct, creating a unique bridge between renewable energy production and carbon removal markets.   Over the course of the conference, our team engaged in meaningful discussions with farmers, project developers, policy experts, and researchers. Topics ranged from feedstock diversification and project feasibility to the growing role of biochar in carbon credit markets. Demonstration videos and technical dialogues at our booth further highlighted the commercial readiness of our solutions.   Conference sessions on policy, certification, and market development provided valuable insights into the evolving biochar industry, reinforcing our commitment to advancing technology and fostering collaboration across the value chain.   As NABC 2025 concluded, we reflected on an inspiring week of knowledge exchange and partnership building. Powermax extends sincere thanks to the organizers and all visitors who joined us. With renewed momentum, we look forward to driving forward the adoption of biochar and biomass gasification technologies—supporting both a low-carbon energy future and the global carbon removal agenda.

What is a biomass boiler? A biomass boiler is a boiler equipment that primarily uses agricultural and forestry waste as fuel. It generates thermal energy by burning renewable agricultural residues such as wood chips, straw, rice husks and other similar materials, which can be converted into various forms including steam, hot water or thermal oil. Biomass boilers are widely applied in industrial processing, district heating, and power generation sectors.
