The City of Boulder—with the cities of Helsinki, Minneapolis, and Stockholm—explored the potential for integrating biochar into urban climate action strategies. The project combined both city specific biochar and biomass assessments with additional technical assessments of biochar benefits, technical specifications, best practices for uses, and a preliminary guide to integrating equity considerations in biochar facility development.

Outputs:

• Urban Forest Biomass/Biochar Playbook
• Opportunity Assessment for Municipalities
• Biochar’s Potential for Environmental Justice
• City Biochar-Urban Forestry Strategies:
  • Boulder
  • Helsinki
  • Minneapolis
  • Stockholm
