How much does it cost to process 1 ton of straw charcoal for carbonization of biomass straw, and how much profit is there

There are many kinds of biomass straw, such as corn stalks, corn cobs, soybean straws, pepper stalks, peanut straws, hemp stalks, melon vines, wheat straws, rice husks, rice stalks, etc. The project investment is small, the effect is quick, the value is high, the production process is zero pollution, and the straw charcoal processing is easy to promote.


After straw carbonization, biomass charcoal, combustible gas, wood tar, and wood acetic acid will be obtained. Among them, combustible gas can be used as gas like natural gas. Usually, when the continuous carbonization furnace carbonizes straw, it can be directly recycled as a gas raw material to reduce the use of natural gas.

Wood tar can be recycled and used as crude oil, and wood acetic acid can be used as a chemical raw material, and can also be used as a raw material for food and feed. In addition to being used as heating fuel and barbecue charcoal, biomass charcoal can also replace coal as a new energy source.


After deep processing, biochar can also be used as a raw material for the production of gunpowder and explosives; it can also be used as a start-up preheating fuel for diesel equipment; it can also be processed into activated carbon and used as a purifier for air purification and water treatment.

After the application of straw biochar, it has a high economic value. Every 3 tons of straw can produce one ton of biochar, and the processing process can also produce 0.06 tons of wood tar and 0.12 tons of wood vinegar, which can recover about 1,000 cubic meters of combustible gas.


So how much does it cost to process one ton of biochar, and how much profit can it make?

Let's calculate the cost. One ton of straw costs about 200 yuan. It takes three tons of straw to produce one ton of biochar, which costs 600 yuan. The storage and packaging cost of biochar is about 300 yuan/ton. Add the site, labor, auxiliary materials, electricity, equipment depreciation, etc., and the total cost of one ton is about 500 yuan/ton, which adds up to about 1,100 yuan/ton. The price of one ton of straw charcoal is 1,800-2,100 yuan/ton, so the profit of one ton is 700-1,000 yuan, and the investment can be recovered in one year of production. If it is processed into machine-made charcoal or activated carbon, the value will be higher and the investment can be recovered in half a year.
