Biochar legal situation in Europe
Voluntary labels: EBC, BQM, IBI
Part of Ecolabel in: UK, Sweden
Legal status in: Switzerland, Austria, Italy
Current discussion on European Fertilizer
Directive
Current discussion on REACH
 No clear legal situation
 Already commercial use

Biochar in animal production
Historical use of charcoal in animal and human nutrition
 Very well known as useful for digestive disorders
 World-wide use of food additive in animal production (mostly as prevention)
Positive effects
 Adsorption of organic molecules, especially less polar ones
 Adsorption of microorganisms and toxins => relevant for biogas digestates
 Higher nutrient use efficiency of most animals
Negative effects
 Potential adverse effect of adsorption of vitamins and chemotherapeutics
Legal status
 (EG) Nr. 68/2013 of EC from January 16, 2013
 Product no. 7.13.1 (Pflanzliche Kohle [Holzkohle] as product of pyrolysis of plant biomass
 Product quality mandate: (EG) Nr. 178/2002, v.a. heavy metals, dioxins and furans
 Switzerland: Futterkohle as part of FIBL list for organic farming
