CONT

Le biocharbon est un produit riche en carbone obtenu en chauffant une biomasse (d'origine végétale ou animale, le plus souvent composée de bois) dans un environnement où l'oxygène est limité ou quasi absent. Le procédé est en effet carbonégatif puisque les quantités de carbone contenues dans la biomasse retournent au sol sans générer de [dioxyde de carbone]. Il n'y a donc aucune émission dans l'atmosphère.

Key term(s)
  • bio-charbon
  • bio char
  • bio-char
