About
ÖKT Offenhausen (Ökologische Klärschlammtrocknung Offenhausen GmbH) is a Bavarian GmbH founded in 2019 whose registered business purpose is operating a drying plant for sewage sludge and fermentation residues at the Offenhausen biogas plant. It runs pyrolysis units that convert wood chips into EBC-certified biochar, using the process heat to dry sludge, with credits sold via Carbonfuture and Klimate. CDR is an adjacent revenue stream to the core sludge-drying/biogas utility operation.
