Abstract
As a person in their twenties, the effects of climate change are becoming clear, and the future lies untold. This discussion seeks to draw from the different passions that drive all of us by focusing on how hard manual labor when combined with “positive infrastructure” can potentially have amazing results. The conversation is focused on the process of building a medium scale, portable pyrolysis burner from mostly scrap metals found in Whatcom and Skagit counties. This pyrolysis burner is a prototype that will produce significant amounts of biochar, and can be used to remove large amounts of deadwood from overgrown forests by converting it into biochar and bio-oil and gasses. There is a life cycle assessment being written about the project, and it stands as a model open for others in the Pacific Northwest and around the world to adopt.
