Steel Can Use Biomass. But Only If It’s Clean.

The steel industry accounts for ~7% of global emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. Replacing fossil carbon is not optional.

But replacing it with unstable inputs is impossible.

Why Biomass Fails in Stee

Raw biomass introduces:

• Alkalis
• Ash
• Phosphorus
• Uncontrolled reactivity

In a blast furnace or similar high-temperature system, these aren’t minor issues. They:

• Disrupt furnace stability
• Reduce yield
• Compromise product quality

Steelmaking is unforgiving. Fuel quality is everything.

The Real Constraint

Research and industrial trials are clear:

Biochar must be upgraded—purified, stabilised, engineered—before it can behave like metallurgical carbon.

Without that step, it doesn’t scale.

This is the gap.

What ByoMax Delivers

ByoMax produces Pure Carbon designed for industrial performance:

• Low impurities
• Controlled reactivity
• Stable behaviour at temperature

Engineered to function as a direct substitute for fossil carbon in steelmaking processes.
