USBI 2024 Biochar Conference Robert Kovach, PYREG A Future for the Disposal of Sewage Sludge

Welcome to NABC24 technical sessions:

Sewage Sludge Carbonization: A Future for the Disposal of Sewage Sludge

Description: The high-temperature heating of biomass, in a limited oxygen environment is called pyrolytic carbonization. In this process, organic carbon compounds are converted into a process gas and solid elemental carbon. While organic carbon compounds are degradable and natural decomposition releases greenhouse gases such as CO2 or methane into the atmosphere, elemental carbon is stable for thousands of years. As long as this carbon is not burned, it does not react with any element and remains in its stable form as C, within a material called biochar. Thus, it can be considered a permanent carbon sink, when the biochar is applied to the soil. Characteristics of the carbonization process: - A temperature and a process duration, high and long enough, respectively, to remove critical compounds such as PFAS. - The retention of important nutrients such as phosphorus. - The ability to retain carbon contained in the feedstock, within the resulting biochar, thus providing a stable carbon sink ïƒ Biochar Carbon Removal. The recovery of phosphorus in wastewater treatment closes nutrient cycles and ensures independence from raw material imports that pollute the environment. What sounds like a financial burden for local authorities is in reality, a revenue opportunity. The recycling process not only produces a natural fertilizer, it also provides renewable energy and generates CO2 certificates!

ABOUT THE 2024 NORTH AMERICAN BIOCHAR CONFERENCE

US Biochar Initiative is a non-profit 501c3 dedicated to the advancement of the biochar industry in the Americas. Founded in 2009, USBI now hosts a yearly biochar conference.

We welcome you to the 2024 North American Biochar Conference video sessions. For 2024, we were delighted to host the largest biochar event in Sacramento, California. Our conference was a convening thought leaders, innovators, policymakers, and practitioners from diverse sectors, all committed to a climate-resilient future.

The theme for 2024 is "Climate Action with Biochar for Economic and Ecosystem Resilience." This theme underscores our commitment to exploring and enhancing the role of biochar in sustainable practices, carbon sequestration, waste management, and more. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive platform for learning, collaboration, and advancement in the biochar sector.

Join USBI for the 2025 North American Biochar Conference coming September 15-18, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota! Watch biocharconference.com for updates and information.
