AquaGreen ApS is a company based in Denmark that has been working since 2014 to develop sustainable biomass treatment technology. The Danish company's steam-drying and pyrolysis technology transforms biomass into renewable thermal energy, soil-improving biochar, and/or activated carbon. The company's fully automated, continuous process can treat 1,000 metric tons of dry matter annually, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 1,800 tons, producing 2,000 MWh of sustainable energy, and storing 500 tons of carbon in biochar. The process also eliminates harmful pollutants and stores atmospheric CO2 in biochar. Henning Schmidt-Petersen has been the CEO of the company since 2021.
