For the third episode of The CFI Podcast, we spoke with Andrew White, CEO of London, Ont.-based CHAR Technologies, about the potential biochar presents for the forest industry. Biochar is a carbon product made through the heating of organic materials without oxygen. It can be made from sawdust, chips, pellets, and other residuals from sawmills. “At a high level, this new market presents another opportunity to add value to forestry materials,” Andrew told me in our conversation. “As the biocarbon markets grow and our demand for wood or other types of carbon and lignin containing materials grow, it’s another outlet for those forestry materials.” Find out more about how biochar is made, the different types of products that can be produced, the opportunities it presents the forest sector, and Andrew’s thoughts about the future of this developing market.
