Open House – UK

A Full Open House

The Open House was so full that it had to move to a temporary tent. The broad group was from tech companies, government authorities, water- and energy companies, farmers to scientists. The morning began with a presentation on carbon sequestration, plant growth, effect of biochar, to follow up the effect of biochar in steel manufacturing, replacing traditional coal.

Stations

We  took the crowd so they could see:

  •  Drying facility
  • Biochar qualities
  • Pyrolysis
  • DME Engine
  • Hydroponic farming (Oculus VR show)
The Day was packed and ended around 4 pm with some networking. We had some good finance discussions with people we didn’t have time to talk with during the day, and on the way to Edinburg which was a problem in itself, I had time to discuss British Energy with the Project leader who has led the Project between the various Universities that has been involved. It was a very interesting discussion and once more, thanks for the coffee and sandwich, it helped in the cold British weather.
