The CRD is taking an important next step toward introducing carbonisation technology to transform Class A biosolids, the solids left over from wastewater treatment, into biochar, a carbon-rich material that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, destroy contaminants of concerns, and store carbon. This will be the first project of its kind in Canada and builds on the CRD’s strategic investments in wastewater treatment to maximize resource recovery.
