Hello:
I am a recent graduate of the Environmental Technician Program at Sir Sandford Fleming College and a current student of the Ecosystem Management Technology Program.
I am part of a group of four students that have been linked with the Centre For Alternative Wastewater Treament (CAWT), to research biochar as a medium for water treatment. We will be conducting bench scale experiments to determine the effect of metals in an aqueous solution filtered through biochar.
Our preliminary research shows articles primarily geared to agricultural uses for the potential of biochar.
We are looking to purchase 3 or 4 types of biochar and information on any person/group conducting studies in this area that would be willing to contribute to our project.
Thank You

Hi Deb,
Thanks, I am still at it and this year I've started a biochar business, Maine Biochar. My e-mail address has since changed. People can reach me at [email protected]
I've been working on proper ways to make high quality biochar for soil applications since 2006 and I've got a good system now. That and CO2 levels hitting 400ppm convinced me to launch the business at the end of last year. If anyone is looking for a local biochar supplier please don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Greg Martin
