Greetings from the Organizer,

Welcome to the 3rd Asia Pacific Biochar Conference 2016 (APBC 2016): A Shifting Paradigm towards Advanced Materials and Energy/Environment Research (October 19-23, 2016)! We are delighted that you would join us in this momentous occasion to share scientific idea and celebrate our achievements on biochar research in Gangwon Province, Korea. We wish for this to be a memorable conference during which new knowledge and best practices are shared, and professional relationships are enhanced.

Until now, biochar has found a wide range of applications from soil fertility improvement to removal of contaminants. Initial interest in biochar is to use it as a means to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; however, recent developments are seeing biochar being applied in engineering, health care and life sciences, some of those applications have large potentials for rapid commercialization. The 3rd APBC 2016 is devoted to the expectation of a paradigm shift towards the development of the next generation of biochar with applications in a range of new fields.

This conference will provide you well-designed opportunities to present your outstanding works to make professional collaboration, followed by first and second APBCs successfully held on the Gold Coast, Australia (May 17-20, 2009) and Kyoto, Japan (September 15-18, 2011), respectively. The occasion of this conference will also be focused on foundational in the propagation of meaningful knowledge and will draw individuals together who might not otherwise have an opportunity to interact.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Gangwon Province, Korea!

Chairman

Honorable Ambassador of Gangwon Province
