Use of Biochar from the Pyrolysis of Waste
Organic Material as a Soil Amendment

  • J. Smith (USDA-ARS-Pullman, WA),
  • M. Garcia-Perez (WSU-BSE-Pullman WA),
  • C.Kruger and D. Granatstein (WSU-CSNR-Wenatchee,
    WA)
  • J.Yoder and S. Galinato (WSU, Ag Econ, Pullman,
    WA)

Objectives
  • Production of biochar
  • - Construction of a batch pyrolysis reactor
  • - Determine yield of biochar from various
    feedstocks
  • Evaluate impact of biochar amendments on
  • soil properties. Poster 5
  • Evaluate biochar economics
  • - Economic tradeoffs between biochar and
    bio-oil
  • production.
  • - Estimate costs and returns for producing
    biochar
  • and bio-oil in WA State - Economic
    value of biochar in crop production and
  • C-sequestration
