Abstract:

CO2 emissions in 2018 reached the highest level in the human history. Architecture design has become an important tool to deal with current environmental problems; the use of non toxic materials and the energy consumption control in buildings life-cycle are strategies that significantly reduce anthropogenic emissions. Biochar, a biomass charred through pyrolysis, allows the capture and storage of carbon. Charcoal stores 50% of its C content for centuries, while biomass combustion and natural decomposition release ~90% of C within 5-10 years. In this research, biochar is used as a building material, in addition to a lime-hemp insulating plaster. Possible improvements of the mixture in different experimental fields are reported, such as mechanical strength or humidity control. Our findings suggest that the presence of biochar in a composite improves some of its mechanical and physical properties, offering room for future studies to deepen biochar characteristics in the building sector.amenti prestazionali di un intonaco EdilCanapa (Canapamix2) con l'aggiunta di Biochar.
