a carbon-negative technology ideally matched for district heating
By Jesper Ahrenfeldt, Chief Engineer at Stiesdal Fuel Technologies, Denmark.
The idea to combine production of district heating (DH) with carbon-negative tech- nologies is still in its infancy, with few operational concepts implemented. This re- flects the overall picture regarding carbon-negative technologies; they are urgently needed to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement, but no technology- based large-scale carbon capture and storage methods are in place yet.

scaling up towards commercialization. Stiesdal is relying on indus-trial-scale biochar production for carbon capture and storage combined with green fuel production. The company’s approach happens to be a great fit for local and regional DH. How SkyClean works The core of SkyClean is a pyrolysis process in which organic residue from agriculture and forestry is converted into bio- char, gas, and oil by heating to a high temperature without the presence of oxygen.
The Danish climate technology firm Stiesdal intends to change that with their SkyClean technology, which is currently
