LSE Biochar


Chris Burt
MSc Environment and Development

Awarded Funding: £350
2014/2015 Winner

LSE Biochar

Proposal to implement the use of Biochar on campus and advertise the use of Biochar on campus through banners (for awareness) that will have multiple uses on multiple events. Adding Biochar will be to increase the fertility of the soil in the planters, and improve the water usage efficiency of the soil. Biochar works as a soil amendment, and can be applied on top of existing soil. Locations: John Hopkins Plaza, outside the NAB, outside Saw See Hock, and outside Towers 1&2, as well as on the sixth floor roof terrace in Saw See Hock, the roof terrace on the NAB, and the fourth floor terrace in the Old Building. The biochar would be applied using volunteers gathered from the student body at LSE, with specific courses and societies targeted.
