Biochar Buildings – From Housing Stock to Carbon Sink

地球生物炭是一家英国生物炭供应商，致力于以合理的价格提供高性能、可持续的产品，以应对气候变化。自2018年推出以来，它一直在讨论一种强大的土壤改良剂，直到最近，这种改良剂在某种程度上被科学和园艺学所忽视。迄今为止，该公司已帮助数百名国内园丁和土地管理者从在土壤中使用有害化学产品过渡到投资于对植物和地球都友好的更有效，长期的解决方案。地球是英国领先的生物炭创业公司。地球公司开发了市场上第一个国内生物炭窑，是英国唯一能够提供生物炭和相关碳信用的生物炭供应商。该公司在英国进行了最大的生物炭商业试验，并在农场、地方政府公园和专业苗圃实施了生物炭。地球与KTN有长期的关系，并赢得了多个小额赠款。最近，该团队获得了“创新英国”年度青年创新者奖的公共资助，以发展他们的生物炭和碳信用额业务。该公司是一家以研究为主导的公司，其使命是将生物炭扩展为一种可获取的碳捕获形式。洛蒂是地球的创始人之一，她申请了青年创新者跟进基金，以推进她的新产品概念。该项目将把一种新颖的生物炭产品想法转化为最小可行产品，为吸引投资者和商业化做好准备。该产品将通过每年捕获和储存高达675万吨的二氧化碳来帮助英国的住宅行业脱碳。应对气候紧急情况是地球生物炭的核心，洛蒂相信这是解决方案：“最近的IPCC报告称，我们还有8年的时间才能看到气候变化最坏的情况是不可逆转的。生物炭是人类有史以来面临的最大威胁的众多解决方案之一。让我感到希望的是，生物炭还有很多其他好处，加上碳捕获和储存，实现这一目标应该不难。我希望我的工作能激励其他人选择另一种解决气候变化的方法，并在为时已晚之前充分发挥其潜力。”

Earthly Biochar is a UK biochar supplier, committed to combating climate change through making high-performance, sustainable products accessible at affordable prices. Since its launch in 2018, it's been starting conversations about a powerful soil amendment which has, until recently, been somewhat overlooked by science and horticulture. To date, the company has helped hundreds of domestic gardeners and land managers to make the transition from using harmful chemical products in their soil to investing in more effective, long-term solutions friendly to both plants and the planet.Earthly is the leading biochar startup in the UK. Earthly developed the first domestic biochar kiln on the market and is the only biochar supplier in the UK able to deliver biochar and the associated carbon credits. The company has conducted the largest commercial trials of biochar in the UK and has implemented biochar on farms, local authority parks and professional nurseries. Earthly has a long-standing relationship with the KTN and has won multiple small grants. Recently, the team won public funding from Innovate UK, the Young Innovators of the Year Award, to develop their biochar and carbon credits business. The company is research led and is on a mission to scale biochar as an accessible form of carbon capture.Lottie, one of the founders of Earthly, has applied for the Young Innovators Follow on Fund to take forward a new product concept of hers. The project will turn a novel biochar product idea into a minimum viable product, ready for attracting investors and commercialisation. The product will help decarbonise the UK's housing industry by capturing and storing up to 6.75 Mt CO2 each year.Tackling the climate emergency is at the heart of Earthly Biochar and Lottie believes it can be the solution: 'The recent IPCC report says we have 8 years until the worst of climate change is irreversible. Biochar is one of the many solutions to the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. What gives me hope is that biochar has so many other benefits, along with carbon capture and storage, that it shouldn't be too hard to make this a reality. I hope my work inspires others to pick another solution to climate change and bring it to its full potential before it's too late.'
