Blanket for pyrolysis or drying of biomass research
IGERT Cohort Three trainees researched viability of a pyrolysis blanket to bake forest slash into biochar. This research formed the basis of a patented technology. (Blanket for pyrolysis or drying of biomass. Faires, K. B., Schwartz, D.T., Knoth, J.L., et al. U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/485,521, International Application No.: PCT/US2012/037829, WIPO publication number WO/2012/155145.)
This is truly an interdisciplinary project with engineering, forestry and the practical world converging to develop an affordable solution to the problem of carbon-producing forest waste.
