In November 2024, Professor Colin Snape, who leads the Biochar Demonstrator project, and Dr Steve Smith, Executive Director of CO2RE, wrote to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero to highlight the regulatory and policy gaps that hinder the development of the biochar and other land-based GGR sectors. Their letter recommends changes to waste regulation, carbon valuation and policy ownership within government, with oversight from a cross-departmental task force, to set a holistic framework for biochar in the UK.
