PyroCore is a waste-to-energy technology company. Its technology, Pyrolisis, burns waste and sludge for 30 minutes at 700-900 degree celsius in the absence of oxygen, which leads to reduction of waste volume by 90%, and the energy output can be used for heat, steam or power generation. It also eliminates the need for landfill sites, reduces carbon emissions, and helps businesses cut down on landfill taxes. The company has partnered with institutions such as Brunel University London and The Association for Renewable Energy and Technology. It has also contributed to charities such as Fresh Water Habitats, ALK Positive UK, and others. It is seeking support for deployment of its technology on sites where safe and easy disposal of hazardous or infectious waste can be undertaken, especially in the wake of Covid-19.
