PytoN – Pyrolysis to Next level (FRO)
Project goal: Advance the full-scale SkyClean technology for wet feedstocks and to raise the TRL-level of selected sub-systems, with a focus on efficiency and cost optimisation.
Project details
Project timeline: 2025-2028
Approach: Test-operation and knowledge acquisition from the 20 MW SkyClean plant in Vrå, with activities planned during the project period to support design choices and to allow for training of operators and dissemination of the operational experiences.
Expected results: Matured design of the 20 MW pyrolysis reactor unit, including process control, supporting competitive OPEX strategies. Maturation of secondary capabilities in the pyrolysis value chain, including:
• Educational platform for future pyrolysis operators
• Danish biochar analysis and certification capabilities
• Pyrolysis project development capabilities in biogas plants, pyrolysis sub suppliers and agricultural consultants.
SkyClean’s contribution: Development, engineering and demonstration of technology at the 20 MW SkyClean plant in Vrå. Support to value chain activities.
Partners: Agri Energy Vrå, AMU Nordjylland, Force Institute, DTU and Stiesdal SkyClean.
Funding: Funded by the Just Transition Fund (Fonden for Retfærdig Omstilling).
