To date, research around biochar production and use has predominantly centered on biochar from plant-based sources. Exploring water utility<br \/>\nfeedstocks, like sewage sludge, could yield significant value, yet research is still in the early stages. Isle undertook research to determine the current state of biochar knowledge and identify the value it could provide for Scotland. The team critically reviewed evidence and facilitated a<br \/>\npanel of globally recognised experts to address the topic. Experts assessed and prioritized nine possible uses, including four that could have a benefit within Scottish Water operations. They also identified 16 research needs to advance Scotland\u2019s valorization of biochar.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Benef\u00edcios da abordagem\/inova\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Delivering insights:<\/strong> Isle\u2019s review ensured our client is equipped with the very latest global knowledge on the value of biochar.<\/p>\n<p><b>Facilitating expert collaboration:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> By bringing together leading biochar experts, we were able to provide our client with insights and opportunities for inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Promoting informed decision making:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Our report\u2019s recommendations not only prioritize options based on their anticipated value to Scotland but also address risks and pinpoint areas for further research. <\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Servi\u00e7os especializados envolvidos:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><b>Evidence review:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Isle applied its scientific and engineering expertise to critically review global evidence on biochar production and usage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Connecting global experts: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We used our extensive global network to identify and bring together leading biochar experts.
