First Industrial Biochar Production in Europe

by Hans-Peter Schmidt

On Friday the 16th April 2010, the first industrial biochar facility of Europe went in Lausanne (CH) into production. The biochar is produced from urban lop, grape pomace, wood, miscanthus and other suitable biomasse. The biochar production is guaranteed climate-positive and free from eco-toxicological substances. The high quality biomasses are pyrolysed at 400 to 550°C to come up with particularly effective microporosity of the biochar.
