Decycling – Carbon Binding Materials

Header Decycling – Carbon Binding Materials

Questions and Content

The design and architecture bureau elegant embellishments focuses on the design of new materials. They collaborated with Prof. Dr. Arne Thomas (Department of Chemistry, TU Berlin) on researching new potentials of biochar as a building and construction material. The research was mainly concerned with investigating which processes might enable the industrial or decentralized application of the material. As the production of biochar binds CO2, such applications would generate a sustainable and environmentally friendly resource. Biochar being a cost-efficient material also means that it could open up new areas of application for the intensive consumption of atmospheric carbon.

Use and Target Audience
