Since the government agencies are required to remove barriers to implementation of such projects, few risks are borne but:

• Provision of finance should be made by the applicant but easy loans from internal banks or National Development Fund are available and the Government provides free sovereign guarantees for foreign finance.
• The nature of the project as well as the laws and regulations regarding such projects, make it very easy to provide well-sufficient input (agricultural waste) very cheap.
• The output of the project (final product- fertilizer) has a very good market and there is no problem with selling it, particularly that it will pass all standard criteria and does not have the negative consequences of chemical fertilizers. It is anticipated to get a good export market as well. (In addition, there is a mechanism which requires the government to purchase the final product of certain projects, though it will not be needed for this case)
• Due to priority attached to environmental projects, the doing business environment is to a great extent, easy for this project and there seems to be very little impediments in implementation or operation of which.
• If foreign investors contribute to financing or act as partner, the Law on Promotion and Protection of Foreign Investment (so called FIPPA) provides various advantages.
• The role of Government shall be, mostly, in the form of providing concessional loans, provision of land, removing barriers on import of needed machinery, eliminating export impediments, swiftly issuing the licenses and permissions, tax exemptions and so on as well as guaranteed purchase of product, provision of input, etc.
• According to Article 20 of the country's Clean Air Law, it is forbidden to burn the agricultural waste after harvesting the crop, and the wrong doers are fined, therefor Biochar production from biomass wastes would be legally supported by government, society and NGOs.

After establishing specific project company (SPV), the project company raises finance through a combination of equity—provided by the project company's shareholders—and debt provided by commercial bank or international development institutions or other financial instruments.

Low amount of OC, limited water resources, high GHG emissions from burning agricultural residues are the most critical challenges to sustainable agriculture.It is a small viable practical project which can be implemented in a short time and its virtuous impacts could be seen soon. This project aims to recycle or convert agricultural wastes to eco-friendly products with Producing biochar and bio-oil and avoiding the biomass burning in rural areas with pyrolysis technology. Not only this project has any adverse effects on the environment but it reduces the negative effects of usual methods (burning biomass). For us, this is a very important eco-friendly pilot project which will be expanded very soon across the country, so we would like to have it implanted very smoothly to encourage others step in and start/run such projects. Recently, the emergence of pyrolysis technology has provided an innovative alternative for burning agricultural residues and adopting sustainable agricultural practices. Pyrolysis technology facilitates heating biomass wastes in a very low oxygen environment with temperature over 450 C in a controlled process and converts the biomass wastes to very useful bio-products, including biochar and bio-oil. It offers several environmental benefits such as carbon sequestration, reduction in GHG emissions, soil amelioration, crop productivity, water conservation and supply of green energy.

The role of Government shall be, mostly, in the form of providing concessional loans, provision of land, removing barriers on import of needed machinery, eliminating export impediments, swiftly issuing the licenses and permissions, tax exemptions and so on as well as guaranteed purchase of product, provision of input and etc.

Shahid Beheshti Science & Technology Park, Shahid Beheshti University is the executor of the project. The installation and Operation process will be implemented by SBU in consultation with international partners(if needed) and also it will monitor the process to be carried out perfectly.
