AGROCHAR

Production of biochar by slow pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization of digestate



The Agrochar project dealt with the conversion of digestate from the biomass anaerobic digestion in a directly usable product for agriculture. Two thermochemical and hydrothermal processes were tested: the conventional carbonization process (slow pyrolysis) and the Hydrotermal Carbonization process (HTC). The produced charcoal was tested in order to prove the effect in selected plants growth.


With the support of Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (MiPAAF)
