Biochar is a type of charcoal produced from biomass and used as a soil amendment in agriculture. Wood-based biochar is a common type of biochar.
Charcoal briquettes are a type of fuel made from charcoal and used for cooking and heating. Wood waste can be used as a raw material for producing charcoal briquettes.
Convert agricultural waste, such as crop residue and manure, into a carbon-rich soil amendment that improves soil fertility and water retention, leading to more productive crops.
Rural Pyrolysis Engineering specialises in providing innovative solutions for charcoal production in rural communities. Our team of experts, led by designer Nick Harris, understands the unique challenges faced by these communities and has developed a range of Charcoal Retorts specifically designed to meet their needs. With a strong focus on sustainability and affordability, our products are revolutionising the way charcoal and biochar is produced and making a positive impact in these rural areas.

At the heart of rural development and sustainability, our mission is to revolutionise how communities harness biomass power. With over 30 years of pioneering design by Nick Harris, our RT charcoal retorts are engineered to promote a sustainable future. Operating solely on biomass without electrical power, these retorts are crafted for efficiency and an emission-free environment. We are committed to seamlessly integrating this technology into any country – developed or developing – thereby fostering income generation and diversity.
Our focus transcends the mere production of charcoal and bioproducts. We aim to establish a model of rural pyrolysis engineering that is both environmentally and economically sustainable. By doing so, we seek to empower communities, enhance local economies, and pave the way for a cleaner, greener future. Our retorts are a testament to innovation, designed to fit into diverse settings while contributing to the global fight against climate change.
Together, we envision a world where rural communities are not left behind in the technological advancement race but are instead at the forefront of adopting sustainable practices that benefit both the planet and their livelihoods. Join us in transforming biomass into a beacon of hope and sustainability.
This mission statement encapsulates the goals of providing a clean, sustainable, and economically beneficial solution to rural communities through the advanced design of charcoal retorts by Nick Harris, emphasising this technology’s environmental and social impact.
Biochar is a type of charcoal produced from biomass and used as a soil amendment in agriculture. Wood-based biochar is a common type of biochar.
Activated carbon is a highly porous form of carbon with many applications, including water purification, air purification, and chemical processing.
Carbon Black is a form that is produced by burning hydrocarbons, such as natural gas or petroleum, however, it can also be made from wood waste via pyrolysis.
Charcoal briquettes are a type of fuel made from charcoal and used for cooking and heating. Wood waste can be used as a raw material for producing charcoal briquettes.
BBQ charcoal is a popular fuel source used for grilling and cooking food outdoors. It is made from wood that has been burned in the absence of oxygen, creating a lightweight and highly porous material.
Wood tar is a dark, sticky substance that is derived from the heating and distillation of wood. It is commonly used as a traditional preservative for wood and as a natural adhesive in construction.
Wood vinegar, also known as pyroligneous acid, is a by-product of wood carbonisation that has many applications in agriculture and industry.
Smoking water is used in cooking to add a smoky taste to dishes. It is produced by cold smoking, which involves exposing water to smoke for an extended period of time.
