Biochar is a versatile and beneficial product that can be made from various types of feedstock.
What are the 5 Main Types of Feedstock for Biochar?
1. Wood Waste
Wood waste from sawmills, furniture manufacturing, and construction can be converted into biochar through pyrolysis.
2. Agricultural Waste
Biomass pyrolysis can be used to convert agricultural waste such as straw, corn stover, and rice husks into biochar.
3. Municipal Solid Waste
Municipal solid waste can be converted into biochar through pyrolysis.
4. Algae
Algae can be converted into biochar through pyrolysis.
5. Biomass from Invasive Species
Biomass from invasive species such as phragmites, kudzu, and melaleuca can be converted into biochar through pyrolysis.
It is important to consider the composition, availability, and cost of the biomass feedstock when determining its suitability for pyrolysis.
Different types of pyrolysis processes, such as slow and fast pyrolysis, and gasification, can also be used to produce biochar from different feedstocks.
The physicochemical properties of the biochar can vary based on the feedstock and the pyrolysis technology and process conditions used.
The goal of biochar science is to predict and ensure the quality, agronomic benefits, and environmental effects of biochar produced from different feedstocks and pyrolysis processes.
