About
Bussme Biochar AB is a Swedish biochar-producing subsidiary of family-owned district heating company Bussme Energy AB, based in Svedala/Kävlinge, Skåne. The parent modified its solid-fuel boilers (from Osby Parca) to restrict oxygen and run a pyrolysis process that co-produces biochar alongside district heat at four 1-5 MW plants in southern Sweden. In 2023-2024 the parent sold the three district-heating subsidiaries (Bjäre Biovärme, Munka-Ljungby Biovärme, Svedala Fjärrvärme) to Solör Bioenergi, which sees biochar production as an exciting development; Bussme continued operating the sites through end of 2024. Carbon removal credits are sold via Puro.earth as CORCs.
