Additional info
The expected results and practical recommendations from this project are:
Value added to currently unutilised and nuisance biomass for the first time by producing biochar, a carbon resource for the farm.
Development of an innovative, farm-scale mobile pyrolysis system designed and built in Ireland
The promotion of the use of biochar in soils to improve soil structure, alkalinity, CEC, natural pH adjustment capability.
The demonstration of a methodology for Irish agriculture to develop a carbon-negative approach to the management of undesirable biomass by sequestering carbon in soils, thus reducing national GHG emissions

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS indirectly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Fertilizer reduction
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
