Abstract
A system includes a controller having a processor, a memory, and instructions stored on the memory and executable by the processor to: control a biochar pyrolysis reactor to heat a biomass feedstock to cause a pyrolysis reaction of the biomass feedstock using heat from a power plant to generate a biochar and a syngas, and control a biochar sorbent system to adsorb an undesirable gas from an exhaust gas of the power plant into the biochar to generate an enriched biochar and a treated gas.
