In 2019, we began refurbishing our plant in Ödeshög to expand our business, and also produce biochar in our district heating plants. This is a way to expand our circular business. Biochar is produced through a process called Pyrolysis, where organic material is burned with a restricted oxygen supply. The decomposition time of the biochar can be hundreds to thousands of years and the carbon can thus act as a carbon sink and thereby create negative emissions. There are several uses for biochar, and these are increasing more and more. Some of the areas of use today are as soil improvers in urban environments, in agricultural land, and on sports grass such as golf and football pitches. There are also areas of use such as in animal feed, such as filters of, for example, water and alcohol. Lantmännen's biochar Hos oss på Lantmännen producerar vi Svenskt biokol gjort på träflis från svenska skogar. Produktionen sker på fjärrvärme-anläggningar runt om i Sverige. Biokolet produceras i Lantmännens fjärrvärmeverk där man strävar efter att använda hållbara råvaror som samtidigt bidrar till en god kvalité hos Biokolet. Råvaran består av 30 mm träflis vilket skapar en lätthanterlig samt homogen biokol. Genom att producera biokolet hos våra fjärrvärmeverk har vi möjligheten att ta tillvara på värmen som utvinns vid produktionen. Fördelar med biokol Genom att använda vår homogena biokol i jordar förbättrar du jordegenskaperna på flera sätt: Ökar den syrehållande förmågan vilket motverkar kompakta jordar. Bättre vattenhållande förmåga. Får mikroorganismer att trivas vilket bidrar positivt till jordstrukturen. Contributes to deeper root systems which makes the plants more robust. Makes the soils last longer. Increases the ability to retain nutrients in the soil.
