Funded Activity Summary

Chicken Litter Char for Soil Health and Carbon Sequestration. The project has considerable national benefit from a range of perspectives. The recycling of waste residues from farming to the rejuvenation the carbon in soil, through the application of chars, will promote sustainable land use and increase agricultural productivity. Further, an improved understanding of the mechanisms by which chars sequester carbon and nitrogen compounds will assist in the adaptation of Australian agriculture to the impact of climate change. Pyrolysis technology, in char generation, has the potential for primary producers to turn waste products into something of value, which may provide their businesses with an additional income stream.
