Pacific Northwest Biochar
Pacific Northwest Biochar
John Miedema, February 2009
Mission Statement
The PNW Biochar Initiative: to rigorously investigate biochar; advancing its' production, research and integration within whole systems as a means to mitigate global warming while producing green power and building soils; developing sustainability protocols, a field trials network and PNW conference
The Pacific Northwest is a fertile ground for promoting biochar as an essential tool in the mitigation of global warming and advancing the development of biochar as a soil enhancer. Not only does the PNW have the available biomass to support biochar production, this region has a unique culture of people with the talent and enthusiasm for sustainability-- capable of advancing the production, research and utilization of biochar.
Some topics we hope to address are:
The realities of biochar production, “best bet” technologies/methods and utilization
Protocols and certification of sustainable biochar production and identification of suitable feedstocks
A regional field trial network
Economic analysis and funding opportunities
A Pacific Northwest Biochar conference
