Winner of the Knowledge Exchange Awards 2023
The winner in the Scottish Knowledge Exchange Awards 2023, for Innovation of the Year, has just been announced.
Bo’ness-based Sustainable Thinking Scotland has developed a functional “biochar” from baking waste wood.
Pictured is co-founder Sean Kerr with the product, which can tackle algal blooms in water caused by nutrient pollution. Environmental academics from the University of the Highlands and Islands were matched by Interface to optimise the biochar to increase its ability to collect and remove these nutrients.
