About High Plains RocketChar Biochar Stoves
With much of the world looking for ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere High Plains Biochar has a very simple solution. Our patent pending RocketChar biochar furnaces utilize rocket stove technology to create biochar from wood chips, wood pellets, corn, crop residues, and other biomass. This is the worlds first continuous rocket stove designed specifically for the production of biochar. Because this technology does not require electric fans for moving air the power consumption is only a fraction of the other technologies available making this among the most energy efficient continuous biochar technologies in the world. Truly the Prius of biochar equipment. This is real carbon negative technology for the real world.
Most existing biochar technology uses significantly more energy than our RocketChar furnaces. Most require lot of electricity for fans to move air, do not utilize the heat produced, require fossil fuels to operate, or the or even use electricity to heat a tube.
The RocketChar 302 will process 10-25 gallons of fuel per hour and yield varies from 15-35% depending on the feedstock.

What makes our RocketChar bio char furnace technology different
1. Power Consumption
Because rocket stoves draft naturally we do not require large electric fans to operate. Just a minimum amount of electricity to operate augers to move biomass through the retort. We also do not require fossil fuels for startup, operation, or fuel drying.
4. Flexibility
Because of the design our RocketChar furnace can burn a variety of feedstock including those with some moisture content, up to 30%. Wood chips, wood pellets, hemp, agricultural residue, etc will all work in our equipment.
2. Heat Utilization
Because this heat is useable the carbon footprint of this technology is much different than technology that wastes the heat produced. This can be done with air/air heat exchangers tied to duct work to move heated air or with air/water heat exchangers so the heated liquid can be piped for other uses.
5. Time Control
Because our augers are independently controlled we can adjust dwell time depending on the feedstock to maximize efficiency. Other equipment does not offer this kind of control over the quality of biochar produced.
3. Emissions
Because our industrial rocket stoves burn in excess of 2,000 degrees the emissions are minimized. Most biochar equipment never gets closet to these temps so they inevitably produce a lot more smoke and emissions.
6. Strategic Partners
We are currently seeking strategic partners to distribute this technology internationally. Please contact Zach@HPBiochar.com if you are interested.
