Biochar for home use and community application

A one-day intensive practical workshop
Learn how to make your own biochar, and discover how and why this substance can transform your garden and solve planetary problems.
Biochar is a charcoal-like substance that’s made by thermal decomposition of organic material from agricultural and forestry residues (also called biomass) in a controlled process called pyrolysis.
Civilizations from China and Japan to ancient Peru, and including aboriginal Australians, used biochar for thousands of years, leading to the deep, rich black, fertile soils known as Terra Preta, which astonished early European explorers.
In our current climate-conscious world where communities and companies are searching for ways to mitigate carbon release, biochar has significant potential.
Studies show that biochar, if used correctly, can help build organic carbon in soil by up to 20 per cent and can reduce nitrous oxide emissions from soil by 12 to 50 per cent.
At this one-day workshop at Narara Ecovillage you will learn the background, theory and principles of sustainable biochar production. You will participate in making enhanced biochar in a highly efficient, compact biochar kiln, and will be able to take home some enriched biochar at the end of the day.
Early bird bookings before 7 November - https://event-14806-eae1.lilregie.com/
The presenter – one of the world’s leading biochar experts, Visiting Professor Stephen Joseph AM, UNSW, Wollongong, Newcastle, Deakin, NEW England & Nanjing Ag, China.
