The current imbalance of carbon in the atmosphere is stimulating the search for carbon sequestration opportunities and for alternative processes and products with a reduced carbon footprint. Biochar, produced from residual biomass of the bio-ethanol industry (Dry Distillers Grains), was added as filler to a standard concrete, aiming at finding potential solutions for simultaneous carbon sequestration and improved properties and performance of the concrete. The addition of biochar resulted in a linear decrease in concrete density, with a concrete density of 1454 kg/m(3) for 15 wt% biochar. The addition of biochar also considerably increased the sound absorption coefficient of concrete across the range of 200-2000 Hz, as it created pore networks within the concrete. The thermal conductivity of the concrete showed the largest reductions with 2 wt% of biochar, reaching lows of 0.192 W/(m.K). Finally, the incorporation of biochar showed a detrimental effect on the compressive strength of the concrete, which would put bio-enhanced concretes in the low-strength concrete classification category.
