IBI and EMBRAPA are pleased to announce the 3rd International Biochar Conference: IBI 2010, which will be held in Rio de Janeiro, September 12 – 15, 2010. We expect the conference to be the largest international biochar conference to date and are building the agenda and the activities on the past two international conferences as well as the excellent regional and national biochar conferences of the past few years.

 

The conference organizers have collected abstracts and will inform applicants by May 25, 2010 if their presentation has been accepted. The organizing and scientific committees are busy with a working agenda. Oral presentations and papers will be selected from abstracts received. Session topics will include:

1. Biochar production and new products. Biomass sources, residues and co-products recycling. Management of emissions, wastes, and byproducts from biochar production.
2. Integrated biochar systems. Design and evaluation of small and large scale systems.
3. Characterization of fresh and aged biochars. Physico-chemical characterization of structural recalcitrance and functionalities. IBI’s biochar characterization effort.
4. Biochar quantification in the environment.
5. Biochar amendments to soils. Agronomic evaluations and effects on soil carbon dynamics.
6. Terra Preta de Índios: state of the art.
7. Climate change mitigation value and potential.
8. Sustainability, certification and legislation.
