Activities
Main EU Legislative Proposals: We have been nominated as an observer for the Expert Group on Fertilizing Products.
Our Secretary-General is also expert in the Soil Health Expert Group as well as the Carbon Removals EG.
We are currently following: Strubias Working Group, The 2030 Climate Target Plan and, Phosphorous recuperation, Legislation on biosolids in Agriculture, particularly the use of biochar.
Communication Activities: The EBI is committed to the development of biochar applications and their dissemination in order to provide a meaningful contribution to a healthy planet.
Regarding the above mentioned mandate, the use as a soil amendment is of particular importance. Our aim is to consult with regards to sustainable standards of production and use of high quality biochar.
EBI also advocates for improved ways of recycling, e.g. Phosphorous recycling through pyrolysis (see: https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/d370424d-65fe-4912-bc82-7c051fccf230/Biosolids_Pyrolysis_EBI_HG.pdf).
