[Stoves] [biochar] Capturing carbon in the timber industry

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Thanks tom.

 

I have not seen a % cited before for the bark. I presume that is the dry mass. Is it known on a general basis what the nutrient % is in that 20% of the dry mass?

 

Regards

We have burned plantation residues in industrial boilers in New Zealand. In order to make a clean fuel the nutrient laden bark, limbs and branches are pretty well stripped and left in the soil. I think that amounts to about 20% of the total biomass.
