Project introduction
The FOREBIOM Project is divided into three major parts which represent an important step in the lifecycle of biomass conversion into energy and biochar. Step 1 (A) deals with issues of sustainable forest biomass production, step 2 (B) with technical aspects of pyrolysis (biochar production) and step 3 (C) with biochar recycling (biochar soil amendment). See further details below.
Carbon can be sequestered when using biochar as soil amendment and biogas (syngas) and bio-oil as feedstocks for energetic utilization. Hence a net sink is created in contrast to fossil feedstocks or even conventional biomass .
