The theme of the Conference, held at the Aveiro Congress Center, was the “Green and Digital Transition.” It aimed to discuss the solutions that the Cluster’s members currently have to address today’s challenges, as well as to promote extensive interaction among the approximately 150 participants.
The Cluster’s partner entities aim to create synergies for the development of new products, technologies, and construction systems, as well as a new approach to the design of spaces and environments.
Extremely versatile, Biochar is a material with nearly endless applications. Today, it is possible to find successful cases of its use in plaster and coatings, brick manufacturing, as an additive in bituminous materials, in insulation material, and as a component in asphalt. In all these cases, it replaces materials with a high environmental footprint.
In addition to this, it is a crucial carbon sink. By incorporating Biochar into the structures around us, we not only take advantage of its properties to create more sustainable ecosystems and more resilient buildings, but we also sequester and store carbon in durable materials. This leverages resource circularity to create carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative cities.
