The network advancing Europe's biochar sector. Through collaboration with industry actors, scientific experts, and policymakers, we drive supportive policy change and promote biochar applications in responsible, circular economies.
Promote and support the integration of legal regulations for the production and use of biochar.
Aid in the development of scientifically-backed standards and regulations for industrial biochar applications.
Initiate and support research in order to close knowledge gaps, and produce Europe’s annual biochar market report.
Enhance awareness and understanding, connect stakeholders, and foster collaboration and synergies.
Biochar Europe’s Scientific Council (BE-SC) is a multidisciplinary team of leading experts on biogenic carbons. This council brings together independent scientists from fields such as biochemistry, soil science, microbiology, organic geochemistry, engineering, economics, and material science. With extensive experience in biochar, organic carbon, and pyrolysis research, they address key questions in biochar science through regular and ad hoc meetings, providing expert insights and guidance. The council may also participate in board meetings to validate EBI's positions. As a collaborative platform, the council fosters cross-disciplinary dialogue, ensuring well-rounded perspectives on critical topics.
