Final Biochar Guidelines Now Online. Register for an Informational Webinar Below.

International Biochar Initiative is leading the international biochar community in the open, transparent and inclusive process of creating Standardized Product Definition and Product Testing Guidelines for Biochar That Is Used in Soil, also known as Biochar Guidelines.  IBI has incorporated comments and suggestions received during the most recent public comment period, and the final document has now been posted on the IBI Biochar Guidelines page.

A set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is also available on the IBI Biochar Guidelines page along with previous drafts of the Biochar Guidelines and process documentation.
 
The next step in the process is for the IBI membership to vote on the Biochar Guidelines in a balloting process that will run from April 23 - May 6, 2012.  (Only dues-paying IBI members will be permitted to vote, if you'd like to join and vote during the balloting period, please click here).

In preparation for balloting, IBI is offering two identical informational webinars Overview of the Biochar Guidelines Final Document, to assist IBI Members in understanding the content of the Biochar Guidelines and the most recent changes to the document.  The webinars are offered at two different time periods in order to accommodate participants across the globe, and it is free and open to the general public as well as IBI Members.  See the schedule and registration links below.

Again, if you would like to participate in the decision ballot, you must be a dues-paying member of IBI.  To become a member, please click here.

If you are not able to attend one of the webinars, you may view the webinar slides that will be posted on the IBI Biochar Guidelines page after the first webinar concludes.  If you have questions that are not answered by the FAQ or the webinar, please address them to BiocharGu...@gmail.com.
