Join us for a lunchtime webinar exploring the opportunities around biochar, as part of Bioeconomy Week Scotland.
This is the first in a new series of webinars delivered by a strategic partnership between Zero Waste Scotland and the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre, are working together to create a circular bioeconomy.
The session is expected to cover the following areas:
What is biochar?
What are its applications?
How is biochar currently regulated?
There has been a growing interest in the market opportunity for biochar but many questions remain about its production, value and regulation.

Presentations will be followed by a Q/A and an opportunity to break out into further discussions.
