Conversion of non food biomass byproducts and waste streams to biochar is certainly welcome. I am coordinator and key technology designer for EU Cimmission official biochar programmes and EU 27 biochar/compost standardization. Using non food biomass waste streams into biochar is OK, subject to that the applied biochar technology is truly environmental friendly and the output biochar products meets high ecological standards. Biochar application require Authority permit in the EU to put the secondary material into open ecological soil environment.
