Methane Emissions From Flame Curtain Pyrolysis (Kon‐Tiki)
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2026.Flame curtain pyrolysis enables decentralized biochar production, but its net climate benefit depends on the magnitude of methane emissions caused during production. Methane emissions were below 5 g CH4 kg−1 biochar for dry feedstocks but increased for moist feedstocks. Pyrolysis emitted less methane than open burning of wheat straw. ABSTRACT Pyrogenic
