Biochar is produced by pyrolysis of biomass. In the long term, its potential for climate protection is limited by the availability of biomass. At the same time, the cost of biomass can make biochar very expensive. It is therefore ideal to produce biochar from residues or waste materials that cannot otherwise be recycled. A prime example is woody screening residues / oversize material from the anaerobic digestion and/or composting of green and organic waste. Due to their plastic content, they can currently only be sent to waste incineration. Nikolas Hagemann presents that it is possible to produce clean biochar from such materials. In addition, he will also present examples of urban applications of biochar.
Nikolas Hagemann is scientific director and CEO of Ithaka Institute, scientist at Agroscope and a board member of German Biochar e.V.
