The Waste to Wisdom Project will hold a Life Cycle Assessment & Economics of Biochar from Forest Residues webinar on August 23rd at 1 p.m.

This webinar presents a summary of results from forest, range, and mine sites where biochar has been applied and from a life cycle assessment and economic analysis of producing biochar from forest residues. Biochar is produced from biomass at high temperatures in a low-oxygen environment.

Using data collected from a pilot plant built for the Waste-to-Wisdom project, this webinar presents an outlook on the future of smaller-scale, near-woods biochar production from an environmental and economic perspective. Specifically, we will discuss the environmental impacts and implications from a life cycle assessment of biochar from waste forest biomass then describe the economics and potential markets.

Presenters will include:

Waste to Wisdom is an innovative biomass research project where Humboldt State University and 15 regional partners are building on existing research on the conversion of forest residues into bioenergy and other valuable bio-based products. The Waste to Wisdom Project is funded by a $5.88 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy under the Biomass Research and Development Initiative program
