Biochar Production as a Regenerative Soil Amendment for Agriculture in a Temperate Climate
FY 2019-20 · 2019-06-10
Summary
This project looks to determine the initial feasibility study to create a profitable business by using leaf & yard waste litter, including forest residues to produce biochar. In doing so, this will divert this waste stream from landfills, reduce greenhouse gases by sequestering carbon, as well as the production of a valuable product that can be used as a soil amendment for agriculture.

Description
This project looks to determine the initial feasibility study to create a profitable business by using leaf & yard waste litter, including forest residues to produce biochar.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à déterminer l'étude de faisabilité initiale pour créer une entreprise rentable en utilisant la litière de feuilles et de résidus de jardin, y compris les résidus forestiers pour produire du biocharbon. Ce faisant, cela permettra de détourner ce flux de déchets des sites d'enfouissement, de réduire les gaz à effet de serre en séquestrant le carbone, ainsi que de produire un produit de valeur qui peut être utilisé comme amendement du sol pour l'agriculture.
