Abstract:
This paper describes the research and technology strategy of the UK Biochar Research Centre (UKBRC) in pursuing its objectives towards production of ‘specified biochar’. It outlines the research questions being tackled and describes the portfolio of process equipment developed, spanning laboratory scale, smallscale continuous and pilotscale reactors. The range of biomass feedstocks studied is outlined and pyrolysis biochar yields are compared across scales and feedstocks. The importance of biochar stability is highlighted and test methods developed at UKBRC for biochar functional properties are introduced.
