[Terrapreta] Spring Planting - Biochar

[Edward Someus]

Tom, 
 
Response to your question ---- Who’s planning to “plant” biochar this year?
 
Status of the plantation biochar in Europe 2008:  
 
We have continuos and extensive biochar production and test programmes in
several EU countries and Israel all the time, all in order to work with
different types of char and agro biotechnology and different climatic and
soil conditions, and most importantly working with different farming culture
and experience people, so diversity adaptation by all means is an important
issue for us. 
 
My united EU biochar science and technology programme FP6 (2005-2008) with
ongoing works is consisting of 12 high qualified EU research institutes and
large agro industrial partners from 8 countries, while the new FP7
(2008-2012) biochar programme is already 19 partners from 13 EU countries +
Israel, covering works for agro/food biomass waste and biochar added value
utilization and valorization in all the EU27, with 4 years budget 8.5
million €.  
 
Practically the first five largest EU research institutes (with core
cooperation in DE, NL, FR, IT, BE countries), many major EU research
institutes / universities and large agro/food industrial organizations are
united in the subject under my coordination, with combined financial
investment programme of the European Commission and industrial/commercial
investors. 
 
The biochar consortiums I coordinate are technology and product development
programmes, based on integrate advanced applied science and applied
industrial engineering, and always including the industrial scale up /
engineering of the scientific results, so our output is/will be IPR
protected technology and product, therefore publications are and will be
limited. This is the way how we turn science to industrial practice in the
field of agro/food industrial biomass waste carbonization and combined soil
agro biotechnology.  
 
   
Sincerely yours: Edward Someus (environmental engineer)

Spring must be here. The ice is starting to recede from the lake shores in
southern Minnesota. Who’s planning to “plant” biochar this year?
