Ninety presentations and forty posters will cover topics such as product quality, markets, education, policy, harvesting and processing, post processing, and applications in forestry, agriculture, storm water and remediation. Experiences ranging from small scale to full scale industrial and agricultural systems will be described. We will map strategies for developing North American biochar markets and use.
