Consulting
Your partner for pyrolysis and biochar
Terratec supports you from the first assessment to operation, independent of manufacturers. We review site, permitting, funding and profitability. We also trade biochar and CO₂ certificates.
Biomass delivery in the DACH region
No biomass of your own?
Our supplier network covers the DACH region. Internationally we source the biomass individually and develop delivery concepts cooperatively.
- Regional supplier network
- Suitable biomass and volumes
- Delivery and supply planned with you

Entry
Start with the preliminary assessment
As the first step, the preliminary assessment clarifies early whether your project holds up at the site and lowers the risk before larger investments. It does not replace planning and no legally binding statement.
Site analysis
We review the suitability of your site based on infrastructure access, topography, planning law and regional restrictions in order to recognize challenges early.
Permitability
Based on your information and the local requirements, we review whether your project is permittable at the site and which conditions are to be expected.
Funding eligibility
We review whether your project type is fundamentally compatible with existing funding programs at state, federal or EU level. A binding funding commitment and application consulting are not part of the preliminary assessment.
Material processing
Using material samples, images and descriptions, we obtain an initial assessment of the processability of the material from our technology partners.
Technology recommendation
Based on the preliminary reviews, we show you the right technology for your material and your heat demand and thereby lower your selection risk.
Milestone plan
We present the project with all cost items and a final offer. You receive a clear milestone plan for accepting the offer and starting project implementation.
Application areas
Whom we work for
