NBN at the Bio360 Expo 2023

On the 8th and 9th of February we had the pleasure to be part of the Bio360 Expo in Nantes, France. It was a great opportunity to meet the biochar community, and learn more about the developing biochar industry and its bright future!

Bio360 Expo is an annual international meeting for people and organizations who are engaged in and committed to accelerating the energy transition. The event focused on spotlighting solutions that can accelerate the biotransition through the scaling-up of transformative and often disruptive technologies. Biochar is one of them, and one of the 6 tracks of the conference program is dedicated entirely to it. The sessions covered biochar upscaling, biochar applications and the potential as a carbon negative solution. Find the detailed program of the biochar sessions here. The other tracks in the program were dedicated to green building materials, biogas, carbon capture and utilization, biomass and green gas. Besides the multi-track conference program, Bio360 Expo offered an exhibitor area to meet companies and organizations working towards the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy, such as the Nordic Biochar Network,, EBI (European Biochar Industry Consortium) and IBI (International Biochar Initiative). The next edition of the Bio360Expo will take place on 24-25th January, 2024, we are looking forward to it! Find more information about the event at https://www.bio360expo.com/.
