Pacific Pyrolysis Pty Limited

Pacific Pyrolysis Pty Ltd has developed, and is commercialising, slow pyrolysis technology to deliver waste to energy and biochar solutions. Pacific Pyrolysis technology is unique in that it holistically combines local solutions to sustainability and market issues through:

• Generating renewable, distributed energy;
• Mitigating greenhouse gases and sequestering carbon;
• Recycling carbon and nutrients back to agricultural land;
• Increasing the sustainability of agricultural production through enhancing
• soil health, hence improving food security;
• Improving land use outcomes through minimising urban waste; and
• Meeting strict environmental standards, ensuring air quality

The company owns 100% of the intellectual property, global development and commercialisation rights of the technology including the integrated pyrolysis demonstration plant located at Somersby.

The Pacific Pyrolysis technology platform is a fundamental example of the delivery of a local technical solution to local manifestations of global sustainability issues for organisations and governments. A new era of low‐emission, low‐impact technology is expected to come of age over the next two‐three decades in addition to greater utilisation of known technologies, which have lower emission impact. The demand for clean technology solutions to problems has become a business mainstream activity. Solutions that can be deployed repeatedly across multiple sites benefit both the technology provider and the customer. Strong demand for such solutions exists from both private and public sector organisations, especially if the local deployment of a technical solution can be completed with:

• A relatively low capital cost;
• A good internal rate of return to equity investors in the projects concerned;
• Successful resolution of issues or problems for the organisation(s) concerned; and
• Development of a project solution, followed by execution and operation inside a reasonable timeframe.

It has become evident that a key to technological and business success in this space will be to deliver local solutions to companies and organisations which are impacted on multiple sites or in multiple business areas by the same or similar global issues such as emissions, energy supply, waste disposal, poor soil health, etc.
