This biochar workshop delves deep into the many aspects of biochar
production and application. Part 1 focuses on practical production
techniques using ‘drum within drum’ retort. There may be some advantages
for this over the TLUD system (ie, reduced supervision).
Part 2 and 3 are classroom based with Q&A. Bob Wells (New England Biochar)
describes his 4-part philosophy for biochar production: 1 – make the
best possible biochar; 2 – use the residual energy efficiently; 3 –
eliminate emissions; 4 – make the project profitable. John Nilsson (soil
scientist) talks about history of biochar and its applications.
Part 4 takes a look at the triple Adam Retort system, installed by
New England Biochar, that is the center piece for the site where the
workshop is conducted.

There is also a part 5 which focuses on the greenhouse system, incorporating pyrolysis heat and biochar soil amendments.
