Rocky Mountain Biochar Initiative (United States)

RMBI organized the North American Biochar Conference 2009, held in Boulder Colorado August 9th-12, 2009. Other announcements from RMBI: The Center for Energy and Environmental Security (CEES) is beginning Biochar greenhouse pot trials to assess fertilizer and biochar interactions. RMBI is proud to announce a recent success and future opportunity from one of our members, Biochar Engineering Corporation (BEC). BEC is an active member of RMBI, providing collaboration and assistance: BEC has sold its first research unit to a joint BLM/USGS research project that is studying the affects of biochar application in mine tailings reclamation. BEC is taking names for a wait-list for those interested in these mobile units. These mobile units produce 50kg of biochar out of 200kg of woodchips every hour over a range of controllable operating temperatures from 300C-600C. The unit is priced at $50K and will be available in the spring. Please contact lopa@biocharenergy.com.
