摘 要:Biochar is a material derived from biomass pyrolysis that is used in urban *** environmental impacts of new biochar products have however not been ***,the life cycle assessments of 5 biochar products(tree planting,green roofs,landscaping soil,charcrete,and biofilm carrier)were performed for 7 biochar supply-chains in 2 energy *** biochar products were benchmarked against reference products and oxidative use of biochar for steel *** demand was then estimated,using dynamic material flow analysis,for a new city district in Uppsala,*** a decarbonised energy system and with high biochar stability,all biochar products showed better climate performance than the reference products,and most applications outperformed biomass use for decarbonising steel *** climate benefits of using biochar ranged from−1.4 to−0.11 tonne CO_(2)-eq tonne−1 biochar in a decarbonised energy *** other environmental impact categories,biochar products had either higher or lower impacts than the reference products,depending on biochar supply chain and material substituted,with trade-offs between sectors and impact ***,several use-phase effects of biochar were not included in the assessment due to knowledge *** Uppsala’s new district,estimated biochar demand was around 1700 m^(3)year^(−1)during the 25 years of *** 2100,23%of this biochar accumulated in landfill,raising questions about end-of-life management of biochar-containing ***,in a post-fossil economy,biochar can be a carbon dioxide removal technology with benefits,but biochar applications must be designed to maximise co-benefits.
