The second stage is just taking the CO and H2 (syngas) released by the #pyrolysis process and burn them to heat your bricks.

The actual gas released is probably much more oily, dusty and CO2 rich than it would ideally be. A lot of contents will be less pyrolysed and more distilled off the wood and partially burnt -_-

Im not sure, if that has enough energy to run the brick oven.

It may be possible to run that in as additional feed into the oven and keep the normal wood thing.

@SeaFury

I think it should be possible, but no idea how realistic it is in the actual setting.

The idea is to have a 2 staged burn:

- Stage 1 is basically a smoke generator. This means it would heat up the sawdust to ~400°C to start the #pyrolysis reaction.

Ideally this means that the wood will basically break into its chemical base components: C and CO and H

If the wood input is dry enough the reaction should be self sustaining but letting in a bit of oxygen can make sure.

In case anybody wants to talk about #biochar or #pyrolysis feel free to ping/DM me.

I'm here to talk about it!

@Protons4B

I don't have the paper right now, but #pyrolysis could sequester 8% of current emissions. So quite a bit better :-)

It works because plants do the direct air capture. The exhaust from the pyrolysis oven could then be captured much more feasible.

@GreenFire

i just wanted to note:
#pyrolysis and this should combine well. A oven has an exhaust and that tech could be hooked on that exhaust and sniff like 50% pure CO2

@GreenFire
errr... why not just use plants? I expected it to be satire tbh

plants + #pyrolysis do the exact thing you talk about AND are self replicating AND adapting to environmental changes
