Aim
Dendromass4Europe aims at establishing sustainable, Short Rotation Coppice (SRC)-based, regional cropping systems for agricultural dendromass production on marginal land. The dendromass produced in SRC (ligneous biomass, bark and wood) will be supplied to dedicated bio-based value chains which will create additional job opportunities in rural areas. The supply chains will be tailored for optimum efficiency of supply logistics and for reducing carbondioxyde emissions. Innovative bio-based materials will help to replace fossil-based materials.
EVT Tasks
- Production of biochar by pyrolysis of biogenic and industrial waste
- Evaluation of the biochar as a suitable fertilizer by laboratory tests following the European Biochar Certificate
