Biochar and the Circular Economy

Biochar and the Circular Economy: Transforming Waste into Sustainable Resources will serve as a comprehensive resource for end users by providing a deep dive into the production, physicochemical properties, and multifaceted applications of biochar within a circular economy framework. Researchers and practitioners can use this content to identify best practices for biochar production, evaluate potential industrial applications based on material characteristics, and understand how biochar can close resource loops for sustainability. The book’s interdisciplinary approach—bridging material science, engineering, economics, and policy—will support users throughout the research and implementation workflow: from conceptualizing sustainable solutions, designing experiments, and optimizing processes, to developing policy recommendations and business models. By offering case studies, real-world examples, and practical frameworks, the book helps users solve problems related to waste management, resource recovery, environmental impact reduction, and the economic adoption of biochar technologies.
