原文摘要 | The intention of the European Biochar Foundation in issuing these guidelines on how to gain biochar certification is to introduce a control mechanism based on the latest research and practices. The European biochar certificate (EBC) aims to enable and guarantee sustainable biochar production. It is introduced to give customers a reliable quality basis, while giving producers the opportunity of proving that their product meets well-defined quality standards. It further aims at providing a firm state-of-the-art knowledge transfer as a sound basis for future legislation. Finally, it is introduced to prevent and hinder misuse or dangers from the start, as long as no "special interests" are calling for exceptions (e.g. such as cutting down native forests to produce biochar). |
