Residual biomass for energy, agronomy and breeding use

Description

using different residual biomass to produce biochar

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

using different residual biomass with energy purposes (biofuel production), agricultural (production of fertilizer) and food (dietary supplement) as well as for the reduction of emissions of methane produced in the stable

Objective

development of a technical system that enables the production of a solid carbonaceous product (Biochar) on farms with used as a soil improver, biofuel, and supplement for animal feed or added to cattle or poultry litter
