Lancashire County Council, GB evaluates the environmental benefits of biochar with pilot program
Lancashire County Council, GB Biochar Pilot Program
The pilot applies biochar to seven hectares of public land at two locations. Organic materials are heated to create biochar, thus capturing carbon dioxide otherwise sent into the atmosphere. Lancashire County Council produces biochar from household compost collections and trees cut down due to dieback disease. Biochar encourages the growth of new trees and plants through improved soil quality. The pilot's results will shape local council uses of biochar in parklands and green spaces.
