[Stoves] Combined power and biochar

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

 

This may be an opportunity to combine cooking and biochar - at least getting
these stoves on the agenda for later expansion on the subject. I suggest the
best approach would be to start with institutional cooking where the fuel
mass involved is large and the cost of fuel is an issue. Schools, in
particular are places where there is usually a combination of food
preparation and small scale intensive gardening.

January IBI Webinar Series Event: Andreas Hornung of Fraunhofer UMSICHT
Presents, "Combined Production of Biochar and Power"

  <https://ibi.memberclicks.net/assets/portrait_prof-hornung_website.jpg>
Have you wondered how to get more favorable economics around biochar
production? For our January webinar event, IBI enthusiastically welcomes
Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology
(UMSICHT) leader Dr. Andreas Hornung to address this hot topic. Dr. Hornung
will give a presentation titled, Combined Production of Biochar and Power,
detailing how today, biochar is usually produced as a single product and
therefore-especially if derived from wood-can be expensive. With the
reaction system of Fraunhofer UMSICHT, it is possible to produce biochar
from agricultural residues as well as digestate from biogas units, combined
with the production of heat and power. Under European economic conditions,
this system is lowering the cost of biochar to almost 100 Euro/t of biochar.
The financial return on investment is usually coming from savings for power
and heat. The systems can be scaled between 30 - 3000 kg/hour. Please join
us as Dr. Hornung further explains some possible economic solutions to the
financial challenges of biochar production.

Registration is open now
