Announcing Call for
Nominations to Join the
Expert Panel to Develop a
Stable Biochar Carbon Test
Methodology for a Carbon
Market Protocol
In
continuation of IBI’s efforts
to advance the deployment of
successful commercial biochar
systems, the International
Biochar Initiative is pleased
to announce the formation of
an Expert Panel to Develop a
Stable Biochar Carbon Test
Methodology for a Biochar
Offset Protocol.
IBI
is leading this project as
part of a larger effort, the
Biochar Offset Protocol
Development project, with our
partners The Climate and the
Prasino Group, that aims to
allow biochar projects to
receive greenhouse gas offset
credits in voluntary or
compliance carbon markets, as
a source of carbon financing.
We believe this is a critical
step in the path towards the
successful deployment of
biochar projects that can
provide needed solutions to
help address climate change.
Participation of biochar
projects in international
carbon markets can provide
valuable financing, while the
projects themselves will help
to deliver greenhouse gas
emissions reductions to aid in
the mitigation of climate
change.
An
important step in the initial
phase of this effort is to
identify the most appropriate
test methodology to measure
the long-term stable portion
of carbon contained in biochar
when applied to soil. This is
one of IBI’s primary roles in
the Biochar Protocol project.
To reach this goal, IBI will
convene an international group
of experts that have relevant
experience in the specific
topic of developing
methodologies to demonstrate
carbon stability of biochar in
soil. The Expert Group will
meet for this task from June
through September 2012, with
one scheduled online meeting
per month, and periodic
guidance and feedback on this
process. We anticipate this
voluntary work will take
approximately 3 to 5 hours per
week for each person who
participates in the panel.
If
you have experience in this
topic and are interested in
joining the panel (or if you
wish to nominate a colleague),
please send the following
information to Miguel
Rodríguez who is leading this
project for IBI at Mig...@biochar-international.org
by Thursday June 28th.
Please contact Miguel if you
have any questions.

Profile: A Nepali Villager's
Tradition of Making Low
Tempurature Biochar
 By: S. Joseph, C.
Chia, S. Campbell, P. Munroe,
and N. Dahal
Nepal is a dynamic country with
harsh environmental and
geographical extremes—from the
cold high mountains in the north
to the hot low plains in the
south. For those communities
living in the mountainous
regions, farming is a challenge.
The soils are often poor and the
fields are carefully managed
terraces on steep mountainsides.
In March 2012, a team from
Australia, the Philippines, and
Nepal visited the Dhand Chaur
village in the mountainous
Dholakha District of Nepal and
found a farmer there had been
producing and utilizing biochar
for at least two generations as
part of her regular farming
routine. The team was part of a
fact finding mission for a proposed
Asian Development Bank Project
and was visiting Tamang
households in the region to
study ecological approaches to
the issues of food security and
climate change adaptation in
Nepal. To read the remainder of
this story, please see: http://www.biochar-international.org/profile/Nepal_biochar_use.

Profile: Biochar at Leibniz
Institute of Agricultural
Engineering (ATB) in
Potsdam, Germany
 Researchers at the
Leibniz Institute of
Agricultural Engineering (ATB)
have one explanation for the
rapid growth of their biochar
research program: Biochar is
viral. As researcher Jan Mumme
tells it: “Biochar is contagious
and self-spreading. At ATB we
became infected in 2008.
Interestingly, the black stuff
almost simultaneously arrived
from three very different
angles. While a biogas
researcher was looking for a way
to upgrade the remaining
digestate, a biogeochemist was
eager for knowledge about the
emission behavior of terra preta
and an economist was interested
in cost-efficient greenhouse gas
mitigation.”
In 2009, driven by the idea of
integrated biochar production
and in continuation of the ATB’s
long history in anaerobic
digestion, Jan Mumme formed a
new research group called APECS
- Anaerobic Pathways to
Renewable Energies and Carbon
Sinks. Meanwhile, his colleague
Jürgen Kern initiated a European
Biochar Network and, in 2012,
another colleague Andreas
Meyer-Aurich created the
German-Malaysian network project
“Biochar in Agriculture”. Today
the Biochar team at ATB counts
10 researchers and follows a
highly interdisciplinary
approach. This approach
highlights the different aspects
of biochar and the accompanying
research networks. The ATB team
works with the following
initiatives which are profiled
as part of the ATB story:
- APECS – Anaerobic Pathways
to Renewable Energies and
Carbon Sinks
- European Biochar Research
Network
- Biochar in Agriculture
Network Project- Perspectives
for Germany and Malaysia
- 1st International Biochar
Summer School

Additional European Biochar
Project Updates
In addition to the research
activities highlighted in the
above profile on the Leibniz
Institute of Agricultural
Engineering (ATB) in Potsdam,
biochar research in Europe is
taking off with several
additional cooperative research
programs designed to bring
scientific advancement in
biochar characterization and use
and also to look more closely at
the sustainability of biochar
systems.
- In the UK, the Biochar Risk
Assessment Framework (BRAF)
has begun with input and
funding from multiple
partners. The project will
seek to understand the
possible hazards and risks
associated with biochar
production and deployment from
different types of feedstock.
Outcomes expected are guidance
and standard operating
procedures on feedstock
sustainability, consistent
analytical methods for
monitoring contaminants in
feedstocks and biochar,
minimum quality
characteristics of the biochar
produced and acceptable
concentrations of organic
contaminants and heavy metals
in biochar. For more
information on the project go
to www.biocharbraf.wordpress.com
and www.biochar.org.uk
- Biochar as an Option for
Sustainable Resource
Management is an
intergovernmental COST
(European Cooperation in
Science and Technology) Action
recently approved that will
allow the coordination of
nationally-funded biochar
research on a European level.
COST does not fund research
itself but provides a platform
for European scientists to
cooperate. The economic
dimension of the activities
carried out under the Action
has been estimated at 60
million euros. Four working
groups will focus on (i)
Biochar production and
characterization, (ii) land
use implementation, (iii)
economic analysis including
life cycle assessment and (iv)
environmental impact
assessment. For more specifics
on this program, visit www.cost.eu/domains_actions/fa/Actions/TD1107.
- The REFERTIL consortium,
funded under FP7, the European
Seventh Framework Programme
for Research and Technological
Development, is holding a
Biochar Best Available
Technology Earth Challenge.
Letters of intent to enter the
contest are being accepted
throughout 2012. For more
