Waste, Fertilising Product, or Something Else? EU Regulation of Biochar

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report (report) relied on the use of GGRs in all models suggesting how to comply with the Paris Agreement’s temperature targets. The EU has adopted specific legislation to address one of the more technologically mature GGR methodologies—biochar—and its waste status dilemma. This study identifies regulatory inconsistencies and shortfalls of EU law as pertains to biochar’s waste status, and recognises the need to establish a more comprehensive regulatory treatment of biochar that acknowledges its multifaceted nature, including helping the EU, and its member states to reach net zero.
