Life cycle assessment of recirculating aquaculture systems with innovative biochar filter for enhanced nutrient recirculation by Marta Behjat, Magdalena Svanström, Gregory Peters, Niklas Wennberg

“…The latter is also explored using two different system perspectives: in the first, the biochar production is considered an activity that happens solely for the purpose of the fish farming but with the added function that it captures and transports nutrients along with stable C to agricultural soil; in the second, biochar is considered already produced and destined for agriculture but it takes a detour to a fish farm to collect some nutrients en route. …”
