Biomass and biochar, a sustainable solution for soil improvement
Description
On December 18, 2025 , Cajamar will hold the free webinar “SII. Biomass and Biochar, a sustainable solution for soil improvement” , an online training session lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes that will address the role of biochar as a key tool in soil regeneration, the circular economy and the fight against climate change.
This meeting, aimed at both beginners and specialists , is part of the Circular Economy and Bioeconomy value chain and is one of a series of three webinars dedicated to biochar. The session will analyze opportunities for valorizing difficult-to-manage biomass waste , as well as real-world examples of circularity in the agricultural sector .
The webinar will delve into how incorporating biochar into the soil improves fertility, structure, and water retention capacity , as well as transforming agricultural waste and agro-industrial byproducts into high-value fertilizers and soil amendments . From olive biomass to complex waste products, the webinar will showcase innovative case studies that transform environmental challenges into regenerative solutions.
