BioPyroC: High-value BIO-based products from residual agri-food biomass via PYROlysis: A dual approach for Carbon sequestration and residues valorisation

Project Description

The BioPyroC project aims to evaluate the effects of pyrolysis-based biochar production on soil health, using a diverse range of residual biomass feedstocks, all while ensuring the establishment of verifiable carbon sinks. To achieve this objective, the project will undertake six tasks: (1) selection, characterisation, and pre-treatment of feedstocks; (2) pyrolysis and scaling-up; (3) characterisation of bio-products; (4) application of biochar to soil; (5) risk assessment; and (6) life cycle assessment.
