Content of the story
The focus is on the idea behind pyropower: climate protection with hardware from Lusatia. The Pyro-ClinX converts residual wood into electricity, heat and biochar. For Lucie Töpfer, technology like this does not only belong at specialist conferences but also where many people can see it.
Background to the story
The story came about through the FemVisible programme, which brings women founders and entrepreneurs into the media. For us, it was an unusual place for energy technology, and that is exactly why it was a good one.

Engineering in consumer media
Pyrolysis and biochar are usually discussed in specialist circles. A large consumer magazine reaches people who otherwise have little to do with energy technology. This is where understanding grows of how electricity and heat can be produced from residues and what biochar can do in the soil. And women founders in technology become visible to other women.
