II) Biochar for Sustainable Management of Urban Biomass Waste
Time: 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm
With the increasing amount of urban biomass waste generated globally, innovative solutions are required to manage this waste in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner. Biochar has been identified as a promising solution to this problem, as it can be produced from a variety of biomass sources and has numerous benefits for soil health, carbon sequestration, and waste management. The workshop will feature a roundtable discussion, providing participants with the opportunity to engage in a dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences with other stakeholders in the industry.
Objectives of the workshop
· To identify potential biochar research and production technologies
· To evaluate carbon trading opportunities for biochar producers
