BIOCHAR DEMONSTRATOR

The Biochar Demonstrator is recruiting farmers to host biochar field trials, and providing information and guidance... The biochar demonstrator is designed to address the uncertainties and barriers to the deployment of biochar at a large scale. It is investigating the extent and scope to which biochar can be deployed, its stability as a carbon sequestration method, and the effects of biochar on ecosystems. This will help to develop business models and inform policy on biochar and its use as a carbon sequestration method... Field trials will deploy over 200 tonnes of biochar produced from virgin and recycled wood over the course of the project. These trials will be undertaken at a range of different sites including arable and grassland sites in the Midlands and Wales, an open cast coal mine site in Cumbria, denuded railway embankments, and forestry sites in England and Wales. These trials are expected to last up to 7 years, for the duration of the demonstrator (4 years) and then..
