For those interested in low tech flame carbonizers

 

Please help us get the word out about the upcoming Learn at Lunch Webinar:

 

LOW-TECH FLAME CARBONIZERS FOR BIOCHAR PRODUCTION: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS 🔥

Date: July 25, 2017, 12 pm (MDT <https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/mdt> )

Speaker: Kelpie Wilson, Wilson Biochar Associates

 

Biochar is made by applying heat to biomass in the absence of oxygen. Flame

carbonization uses the flame itself to exclude oxygen. Flame carbonization methods

can produce high quality biochar from low value biomass waste found in fields and

forests without investing in expensive equipment. Kelpie Wilson will explain the theory

and design principles for using flame carbonizing techniques in various applications

such as forestry, farming and urban tree care.

 

Kelpie Wilson is a mechanical engineer and analyst with 30 years of experience in

renewable energy, sustainable forestry and resource conservation. Since 2008, she has

focused on biochar as a tool to move excess carbon from the atmosphere to soil, where it

can improve soil health and sequester carbon. She consults with farmers, private

industry, and government agencies through her company Wilson Biochar Associates. She

serves on the board of the US Biochar Initiative, works with several local groups in

Oregon promoting sustainable forestry and agriculture, and presents many classes and

workshops on small scale biochar production and use every year.
