Advancing the use of biochar in buildings

Edinburgh

Engage with other experts, have your voice heard and join us for a day of insightful discussion on advancing the use of biochar in buildings

Date and time: Wednesday, March 19 · 9:30am - 4pm GMT

Location: Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh Campus EH14 4AS

Join us at Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh Campus for the launch event of the UK Research and Innovation funded project ‘Advancing the use of biochar in buildings: A multistakeholder study’. The project vision is to develop a decision support framework to enhance biochar use in the UK building industry.

We are specifically eliciting participation from industry and academia experts in the fields of development of biochar products, manufacturing processes, and implementation and policy-making for low carbon building material.

Biochar is a carbon-rich, chemically stable substance produced by heating organic biomass (e.g., municipal, agricultural, and forestry waste) in the absence of oxygen (pyrolysis). The inclusion of biochar as a building material offers significant potential to combat climate change and enables buildings to act as carbon sinks.

Come along and take part in a day filled with insightful presentations, workshops and networking opportunities focussed on the integration of biochar as a building material.

Not only will it be informative, but you can also have your say in the exciting future of sustainable buildings!

This event is a part of the “Biochar project” led by Dr Mehreen Gul from Heriot-Watt University.
