My name is Kathleen Draper. I have been involved with the biochar industry for over a decade. I am the US Director for the Ithaka Institute for Carbon Intelligence, a non-profit, open-source organization focused on the use of biochar in climate farming and agroforestry, and other industrial uses as well as the Board Chair of the International Biochar Initiative. I frequently write and teach about a wide variety of biochar topics including the use of pyrolysis for sewage sludge.
