Biochar
Introduction
The properties of biochar produced from biomass are influenced by several factors, including the type of biomass used, the preparation methods, and the pyrolysis conditions. These properties play a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of biochar for various applications, such as soil enhancement, carbon sequestration, and pollution remediation. Key characteristics to consider include the biochar’s surface area, porosity, pH, nutrient content, and stability. In this section, we will explore how these properties are shaped during the production process and their implications for the performance of biochar in different environmental contexts. Understanding these properties is essential for optimising biochar’s benefits and ensuring its successful integration into sustainable practices.
TASKS
- What is not biomass?
- How do you estimate the potential of residual (waste) biomass in your household?
- List the components that you consider convertible
- What could disturb the conversion? What is not suitable?
BIOCHAR CHAIN
In this section, we will explore the biochar chain, a complex network of stakeholders involved in the production of biochar from biomass. Each participant plays a crucial role in this process, contributing to the transformation of raw materials into valuable products. It is important to note that stakeholders may fulfill multiple roles, emphasising the interconnectedness of the biochar chain. From a circular economy perspective, the last group can also become the first, further illustrating the dynamic relationships within this system. As we examine this chain, we will set the stage for a deeper dive into the specific actors and their contributions, which will be presented in the accompanying video.
TASKS
- Do you belong to one/several of these groups?
- Which stakeholders do you know and could be interesting as collaboration partners?
- Who are biomass producers/owners in your region?
