Story
Farmers in Taiwan prune about 2 million metric tons of branches and vines of fruit trees each year. They were used as fuel in the past. Later, because of the widespread use of gas, farmers didn't know how to deal with them, and they burned indiscriminately, causing environmental damage. In order to recycle these wastes, the "oxygen-limited carbonization" technology developed by me can be used to make "biochar", which can be returned to the farmland to improve the acidified soil and provide potash fertilizer. After being retorted, cooled and collected, the smoke generated during the carbonization process can be made into "wood vinegar ", which has the effect of sterilizing, deodorizing, and reducing pesticide replacement by half. It can also be made into nutrient solution and non-toxic natural pesticides. This set of equipment is simple, low cost, easy to operate, and worthy of promotion.
I plan to expand my current vine carbonization test site into a community carbonization treatment site, and serve as a Taiwan carbonization education training center to promoting"circular agriculture" to farmers. In this way, the pruned branches and vines can be processed, and the rural living environment can be improved. At the same time, the use of chemical pesticides can be reduced, and friendly farming and organic cultivation can be promoted, so that the earth's resources can continue to flourish.

台灣的農民每年修剪果樹的樹枝、葡萄藤等約有200萬公噸，過去都是做為燃料，後來因為瓦斯普及，農民不知如何處理，就亂堆亂燒造成環境的傷害。為了這些廢棄物再生利用，可使用本人研發的「限氧燜燒炭化」的技術製成「生物炭」，回歸到農田，能改善酸化的土壤及提供鉀肥等功能，炭化過程中產生的煙霧，經乾餾冷卻收集後，可製成「木酢液」，具有殺菌、除臭、替代農藥減半的效果，也可調製成營養液和無毒的自然農藥。這套設備簡單費用低廉，容易操作，值得推廣。
規劃將本人目前的葡萄藤炭化試驗場，擴大為社區炭化處理場，並作為台灣炭化教育訓練場，向農民推廣「循環農業」。如此可以處理修剪下來的樹枝、葡萄藤，改善農村生活環境，又可減少使用化學農藥，進而推行友善耕作、有機栽培，讓地球的資源生生不息。
