Question from the webinar: What level is the awareness and / or experience by the technology providers of use of Pyrogenic Carbon / Biochar in AD process?

Hello,

I can tell you from my side that the awareness of pyro and biochar is definitely given, especially with the background that I have worked intensively with activated HTC (hydrothermal carbonisation) and pyro char during my studies.

With regard to their use in anaerobic fermentation, I keep reading about new research projects and new insights. However, the yield increase results are very different and inconsistent. Nevertheless, the benefit of biochar in the digestate should not be underestimated, especially from an agricultural point of view.
