Grasslands play a crucial role in European agriculture and ecology, but are often underutilized due to low-value end-products. The utilisation of late-harvest grass for biochar heat generation on farm-level is being studied as potential negative emissions technology. Technical (energy provision carbon sink), economic (cost vs. benefit), political (regulatory framework) social (SWOT) perspectives evaluated. feasibility has been demonstrated with three different farm-scale technologies the...
Grass and other herbaceous biomass are abundant, but often under- or not utilized as a renewable resource. Here, the production of biochar from extensive late-harvest grass via multiple thermochemical conversion technologies was investigated at lab farm scale for use in soil applications. While is product with highly diverse potential applications, it has multitude benefits agricultural usage amendment, if quality adheres to certain limit values potentially toxic constituents. The results...
