UQ Green City Loop Project

A UQ study has examined different options for turning green waste into usable products. one of the products produced was biochar, which showed promising results. Biochar is a charcoal-like material high in carbon made from organic biomass by a technology called pyrolysis, which heats and transforms the biomass into biochar. Biochar is essentially a carbon matrix that holds compounds and water in the root zone for plants to use.
