Postdoc @ UBC / Veritree - LCA, GHG removal technology, Carbon modelling, Carbon Credit, Biochar

Started my biochar journey in 2015, testing biochar on pineapple and plantain systems and building TLUD in the Peruvian Amazon. Between 2016 and 2018, I designed and build small scale biochar producing cookstoves in Burkina Faso for small holder farmers and went back to the Peruvian Amazon to lead the production of biochar for a reforestation project. In 2019, I started a PhD during which I applied the tool of LCA to expose limits and caveats of location specific CDR practices, including biochar. I am now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia, looking at the climate change mitigation potential of forest harvest residue derived biochar over the province.
