León Ovelar, Regina Fernández Boy, María Elena Knicker, Heike E.

Endocarp residues remaining after coconut oil extraction from Acrocomia aculeate are traditionally used for combustion as fuel. As an alternative, we propose its conversion into biochar to substitute peat in planting substrates. To test the feasibility of this approach, untreated endocarp residues (particle size approx. 10 mm) and materials...
