ARGO LIVING SOILS BACKS UBC ENGINEERING COMPETITION PROJECT

Argo Living Soils Corp. will be supporting the University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Applied Science, civil engineering department, in a unique event that will provide the company with technical data for a range of concrete applications for Char+ biochar proprietary biochar products, exclusively licensed to Argo by Canadian AgriChar Inc. With this expanding industrial application of biochar in mind, Argo is proudly providing financial and material support to UBC for a team of their students to participate in the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race, Canada's oldest and largest engineering student competition. This event, while light-hearted in nature, allows students to apply technical skills and lab techniques acquired during their studies, and employ them in the development of enhanced concrete designs. In this case, utilizing Char+ BioChar into its concrete formulation. Argo will gain valuable technical insight into the application of biochar in concrete formulations.

In addition to the collaboration with the UBC's Civil Engineering Department, Argo's licensing partner Canadian AgriChar has developed its proprietary methodology in partnership with academic engineers from Simon Fraser University (SFU) and their Mechatronics Engineering Department, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), and the National Research Council of Canada - Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP).
