Description
Based in Almere, Netherlands, P4S (Power 4 Sustainability) produces biochar from woody biomass sourced via Cirwinn, a leading Dutch recycling firm located onsite. Operating with a circular economy model, the project reduces fossil fuel use and sequesters carbon, while valorizing waste streams from urban forestry and landscape management.
Application
- Agriculture: Biochar is applied to fields to improve soil health and increase nutrient and water retention.
- Construction Industry: Exploring the potential of using the biochar as an aggregate in the concrete industry
Co-benefits
- Conversion of waste biomass into valuable products contributing to the development of a local circular economy model in the region
- Creation of green jobs in the local community.
Additionality
- The baseline for the feedstock is transport to an incineration facility 200 km away, where it is combusted for electrical and heat energy, resulting in the release of CO₂ to the atmosphere.
- The P4S biochar project is financially dependent on the revenue from carbon credits, which supports approximately 30% of total revenue and is crucial for securing debt finance and ensuring the viability of the project.
- The project is not required by existing laws, regulations, or other binding obligations, demonstrating its additionality in contributing to sustainability and climate goals.
