Biochar is a carbon-rich mineral produced from biomass that offers a multifunctional solution for climate mitigation, waste management, agriculture and industry.
It is also the most widely used solution for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By converting biogenic carbon into a stable form, biochar can contribute to long-term carbon dioxide removal, while improving soil quality and enabling fossil carbon substitution in materials, such as concrete and asphalt, and metallurgical processes.
This webinar is based on an upcoming report on the status of biochar as a CDR solution, prepared by SINTEF Energy Research together with Biochar Europe, and coordinated and supported by Gassnova SF. This report also presents country-level assessments that highlight how policy frameworks, feedstock eavailability, technology deployment, and market development shape the role of biochar across different regions.
The report will be published ahead of the webinar.
