Agriculture accounts for nearly one-fourth of Denmark’s greenhouse gas emissions. Biochar, a type of charcoal produced by heating organic material in an environment with limited oxygen, represents a promising tool to help mitigate these emissions. It has the potential to store CO2 for hundreds of years and offers significant benefits to soil fertility.
In this webinar, we delve into the production and application of biochar, with a particular focus on its soil enhancement effects and climate benefits in Denmark. This session features insights from two INNO-CCUS project leads:
- Short intro to the production of biochar: Basic principles and facilities
Presenter: Tobias Pape Thomsen, Associate Professor, Department of People and Technology, RUC, and Project Lead for Simply.
- Biochar effects on soil: Relevant effects in a Danish context, knowledge gaps, and further work
Presenter: Dorette Sopphie Müller-Stöver, Associate Professor, Faculty of Science, KU, and Project Lead for BioStore. - Production and Application of Biochar: Impact on the Climate Footprint of Society, Relevant Effects in a Danish Context, Knowledge Gaps, and Further Work
Presenter: Tobias Pape Thomsen, Associate Professor, Department of People and Technology, RUC.
Watch the full webinar to learn how biochar can improve soil health and help fight climate change.
