About
PYREG GmbH is a German cleantech company founded in 2009 as a TH Bingen University spin-off, headquartered in Dörth, Rhineland-Palatinate. It designs and manufactures patented pyrolysis/carbonization plants that convert biogenic residues (sewage sludge, woody waste, manure, food waste) into CO₂-sequestering biochar plus renewable heat. Over 50 plants are installed worldwide, sequestering roughly 30,000 t CO₂ per year, and the company is expanding production in Germany and Maine with new shareholder VAERING.
