BIOCHAR
Biochar is a combination of biomass, which collectively refers to biological organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms used as energy sources, and Charcoal, which means charcoal. In general, gas, liquid, and solid are produced when biomass is pyrolyzed to 350℃ or higher in the absence of oxygen, and the high-carbon solid material produced at this time is 'Biochar'. It is similar to charcoal in form, but its physical and chemical properties are completely different. In 2019, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) certified the carbon storage effect and is emerging as a specific carbon neutral response technology.
Characteristics
The characteristics of bio-ocha are its high nitrogen content, large surface area, high PH, and excellent adsorption capacity. It helps a lot in improving the environment by reducing the emissions of soot, carbon, and nitrous oxide, prevents soil acidification, and exhibits a soil improvement effect that is more than 30% higher than that of lime. It also adsorbs heavy metal ions such as lead, copper, and cadmium because the surface is generally negatively charged. It is also called a 'carbon negative' because the carbon is arranged in a stable structure and does not decompose easily, and it does not generate carbon dioxide.
application
Biochar is a carbon emission trading item of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment System (CBAM), a means of reducing carbon dioxide recognized by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The Korean government also selects biochar as a key technology in the agricultural sector for carbon neutrality and is paving the way for ways to establish a foundation for the use of biochar, including institutional support and legal basis. Biochar boasts various uses amid free support for farmers using regulatory sandboxes as the "＇ notice for setting fertilizer process standards" has been revised, which includes the establishment of fertilizer quality control standards for biochar, and as it can be supplied as raw materials for organic fertilizer manufacturers.
Best soil conditioner and organic fertilizer
When tested on soil, air circulation in the soil is facilitated and microbial activity is increased. It can also be used as the best organic fertilizer, such as adsorbing harmful substances and heavy metals to improve the health of the soil, controlling the acidity of the soil, and preventing the loss of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
cattle sheds
If you use the mixture of the existing inlay and biochar, you can see the effect of inhibiting the growth of bacteria, accelerating the period required for composting, reducing the odor, and so on. In addition, the cost of purchasing the inlay can be reduced, thereby improving the overall economic feasibility.
renewable fuel coal
With the revision of the Renewable Energy Supply Mandatory System (RPS), the RPS mandatory ratio will be significantly increased. With an overall average of about 3,200-4,200 kcal/t of energy, the supply market is expected to be activated at about 46% of diesel (9,010 kcal/l) and about 87% of anthracite (4,800-5,000 kcal/kg) when it comes to energy conversion standards.
