Project Kalinga
Process
Overview
Project Kalinga follows a five-step process from rice husk sourcing to biochar soil application. Each step is designed for traceability and permanence verification.
How it works
01
Source
Rice Husk Feedstock
Rice husk sourced from partner mills within ~5-20 km of each facility in Kalahandi and Sambalpur districts.
02
Prepare
Biomass Preparation
Feedstock prepared for conversion in the plant’s controlled slow pyrolysis system.
03
Pyrolyse
Controlled Pyrolysis
Biomass undergoes controlled slow pyrolysis at 450-600°C under low-oxygen conditions, producing stable biochar.
04
Recover
Syngas Recovery
Syngas produced during pyrolysis is recovered and used to provide process heat for the facility.
05
Apply
Soil Application
Biochar is incorporated into agricultural soils through MatiBoost™, a biochar-enhanced soil amendment product.
