Dwelling on Drawdown - how to maximize the use of biochar in the built environment

Biochar use in the built environment is still in its infancy yet there are a growing number of ways it can be used in and around buildings. This presentation will highlight various new and emerging products and end uses for biochar in residential or urban construction including both inside (in plaster, grout, concrete, hempcrete, epoxy, etc.) and outside (e.g., septic systems, asphalt, french drains, insulating water and gas lines, enhancing soils, etc.) uses. It will also cover how biochar can help with construction and demolition recycling efforts.
