Pyrolysis of secondary agricultural biomasses: Biochar properties database and agronomic evaluation - Ithaka Institut (BC-LOOKUP)
Project
Project code: 2823HUM006
Contract period: 01.09.2023
- 31.08.2029
Budget: 108,633 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: crop production, upgrading, soil (soil conservation, soil fertility, soil cultivation, soil health), data collection, climate protection, cultivation, farmyard manure
The aim of the BC-LOOKUP project is to create a comprehensive database on properties of vegetable coals from secondary agricultural biomass, which also shows the influence of different pyrolysis conditions and technologies. Based on this, a freely accessible online climate farming tool will be developed, in which farmers can enter basic data about their farm (cultivated area, crops, number of animals) in order to calculate the potential for the production of vegetable coals and receive suggestions for measures (e.g. field hedges) that can be used to produce the required amount of biomass. Furthermore, the data will be used for climate respective earth system modeling and research/policy advice, in order to assess, on the basis of biomass potential studies, the potential contribution of pyrolysis to sustainable resource management in the future.
