    Communication activities

    The EBI is committed to the development of biochar applications and their dissemination in order to provide a meaningful contribution to a healthy planet.
    Regarding the above mentioned mandate, the use as a soil amendment is of particular importance. Our aim is to consult with regards to sustainable standards of production and use of high quality biochar.
    EBI also advocates for improved ways of recycling, e.g. Phosphorous recycling through pyrolysis (see: https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/d370424d-65fe-4912-bc82-7c051fccf230/Biosolids_Pyrolysis_EBI_HG.pdf).
