PINE NEEDLE(PINUS ROXBURGHII) BIOCHAR PRODUCTION USING SOLAR DRYER SYSTEM

  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents a sustainable approach for converting pine needle biomass into biochar using a solar-powered drying system followed by pyrolysis. Pine needles, which are a major cause of forest fires in Uttarakhand, can be transformed into high-quality biochar, which has multiple applications in soil improvement, carbon sequestration, and renewable fuel. This system includes a flat-plate solar dryer for pre-treatment, reducing moisture content to enhance pyrolysis efficiency. The results indicate that the solar-dried pine needles yield 22–25% biochar with good carbon content and porosity. The approach provides a clean, low-cost, and scalable solution to mitigate environmental hazards and support rural livelihoods.
