[[Biochar]] as a Building Material:
Quoting Ithaka Institut ([http://www.ithaka-journal.net/pflanzenkohle-zum-hauser-bauen-stadte-als-kohlenstoffsenken?lang=en link]):

''Biochar, a highly porous material produced from plant waste, is mostly used in agriculture as a soil conditioner, in livestock farming as a feed supplement, and in metalworking as a reducing agent. It can also be used for cleaning “grey water”, as an absorber in sports clothing, in batteries and many other uses (see '''55 Uses of Biochar''', copied on our [[biochar]] page). The latest developments at the Ithaka Institute are now focusing on its use as a building material. Why? As well as having excellent insulating properties, improving air quality, being able to soak up moisture and protect from radiation, biochar also allows buildings to be turned into carbon sinks. Every tonne of biochar used in a building’s envelope means that the equivalent of more or less one tonne of CO2 is prevented from re-entering the atmosphere.''

==Possible Uses==
* char plaster
* Very light-weight [[biocomposite]] bricks made of [[biochar]] and a binder ([[Lime]], [[Cement]], Clay)
* lightly charred wood for improved preservation (where torrefaction ends and charring begins)

* [[Biochar-Lime Co-production System]]
* [[hemp]] can be charred and used in bricks (with [[lime]])
