What is Permachar?

Vision

Permachar is a small R&D operation that aims to work towards building a fairer and greener future by producing biochar appropriate technology for biochar that delivers permanent Carbon removal meeting the Inertinite Benchmark for a half life of 100 million years.

Carbon removal, water conservation, energy cogeneration and improved soil fertility for greater climate, water, energy and food security.

The main focus is on the semi-arid/Mediterranean climate zone.

 

Service

In 2025 I hope to prototype the medium-scale Flame Cap 'Algorithm' Panel Kiln test unit (see page on website).

This biochar kiln is easily fabricated, feedstock agnostic with minimal ag/hort biomass waste feedstock processing, expandable volume with easy logistics.

Anyone interested in joining an R&D cluster please contact me on the 'Contact' form.

Philosophy

Glocalisation: Top-down 'global' thinking, Bottom-up 'local' action.

Prosperity with 'linear degrowth' and 'circular regrowth'.

Biochar is a 'permaculture' technology that when integrated into a regenerative 'circular regrowth' bioeconomy for 'Carbon Removal in a Cascade of Uses' (CRCU) serves multiple functions and is supported by multiple elements.

I aim to produce biochar appropriate technology and biochar following the permaculture principles of 'Care for the Earth', 'Care for people', and 'Redistribution of surplus'.
