Our co-founder Moritz just returned from an enlightening conference in Luxembourg, focused on the utilization of biochar in the construction sector.

โ๏ธ The suitability of biochar for construction applications is not universal; its effectiveness depends largely on the specific parameters of the biochar used. CarStorConยฎ Technologies GmbH has already successfully carried out several pilot projects that demonstrate the usability of biochar.
๐ The concrete industry remains very normative and cautious on the issue of biochar. Liability contracts are seen as a critical element for providing additional safety.
๐ฒ The Gemeente Enschede and Sander Lubberhuizen have integrated biochar into the construction of several bicycle paths, demonstrating the practicality and feasibility of biochar.
โก๏ธ In summary, biochar has significant untapped potential in the construction industry. However, we are still in the early stages of implementation and much persuasion is needed. A big thank you to CDEC - Conseil pour le Dรฉveloppement Economique de la Construction for organising this interesting and insightful conference!
