Biochar and the Circular Carbon Economy
So, in April 2025, there’s going to be this B4C/CASCADE CPD training on biochar and the circular carbon economy (CCE) in Göttingen, Germany. This one-week training programme is designed for vocational education professionals, practitioners, and industry experts looking to deepen their understanding of biochar’s role in sustainability, carbon sequestration, and practical applications across various sectors.
News
The training follows an interactive and applied learning approach, combining expert knowledge, hands-on experimentation, and collaborative project development. You’ll get to explore the latest research and innovations, and you’ll also work on practical applications to integrate biochar solutions into vocational education, agriculture, construction, and environmental management.
Training Highlights
Hands-on Learning & Expert InsightsBiochar is getting more and more popular because of its potential in soil regeneration, carbon sequestration, water management, and sustainable materials. During the training, participants will take part in themed input sessions led by experts, covering topics such as:
- How to produce, process, and apply biochar
- The role of biochar in sustainable agriculture and construction
- Carbon sequestration and its impact on climate resilience
- The latest conversion technologies and their environmental benefits
These sessions will give you a solid foundation for understanding how biochar can be used effectively in professional and educational contexts.
Excursions to Innovation Hubs
A key feature of the training is the opportunity to visit real-world biochar applications and research centres. One of the programme’s highlights is an excursion to the Biochar Techlab at the University of Kassel, where participants will:
You’ll get to check out different pre-treatment technologies and how they affect the quality of biochar.You’ll also get to take part in some hands-on experiments that show how biochar is produced. Plus, you’ll see some cool new ways that biochar is being used in cities and for managing land in a sustainable way.And you’ll get to chat with local and regional folks who are doing biochar research and working in the industry.
These visits are a great way to understand how biochar is being used in the circular economy.
