Summers interviewed on Colorado biochar facilty
Scott Summers was interviewed for a new article about biochar in the Canon City Daily Record.
The piece is centered on the economics of a new publicly-run biochar facility in Douglas County.
Summers is a professor emeritus in the Environmental Engineering Program and expert on water reuse and sustainability. He has been experimenting with biochar production for more than two decades.
Biochar is a carbon-rich, charcoal-like material that can used to purify water. It is made from dead trees and plant material, the removal of which can potentially reduce wildfire risk, a major attraction for Douglas County.
