Project Overview
To address the growing desertification problem in the UAE, a UK-based biochar company launched its first biochar demonstration project in the country. Beston Group provided the BST-05 Pro biochar equipment for the project, supporting carbonization tests on various agricultural wastes. The project successfully validated the feasibility of using biochar to improve desert soils, laying the foundation for larger-scale biochar projects.

BST-05 PRO Biochar production machine for a local desert soil improvement Project in UAE
Customer Background
This client is a biochar company with its parent company located in the UK. The company has long focused on biochar technology research and environmental remediation applications. With desertification becoming increasingly severe in the Middle East, the client wishes to conduct a biochar demonstration project in the UAE to explore its practical application potential in desert soil improvement.
Challenges Faced by Client
Desertified Soil Conditions
Severe desertification limits conventional soil improvement methods.
Multi-Feedstock Uncertainty
Different biomass feedstocks require flexible testing.
Investment Risk at Early Stage
High upfront costs increase project risk.
Customized Sustainable Biochar Production Solution
Beston Group delivered a benchmark biochar solution by leveraging the core strengths of its equipment, directly addressing the client’s technical and investment challenges.
Stable Biochar Quality for Soil Application:
The BST-05 Pro ensures stable carbonization and consistent biochar quality, supporting reliable validation of biochar-algae applications for desert soil improvement.
High Feedstock Adaptability:
The system processes date palm leaves, trunks, and mixed agricultural residues, enabling flexible multi-feedstock testing and reducing material-related uncertainty.
Cost-Efficient Design:
The carbon steel main reactor reduces capital costs while maintaining stable operation, minimizing investment risk at the pilot stage.
Positive Outcomes
The pilot project successfully validated the application of biochar for desert soil improvement while controlling investment risk, laying a solid foundation for future scale-up and multi-party funding.
Technical skill was very good and they are totally highly competent person!Validated Biochar Application: Biochar-algae application was validated for desert soil improvement.
Reduced Investment Risk: Pilot-scale deployment reduced upfront investment risk.
Scalable & Replicable Model: A replicable pilot model was established for future expansion.
