An interview with Laurens Rademakers of Biochar Fund. Biochar—the agricultural application of charcoal produced from burning biomass—may be one of this century’s most important social and ...

A form of charcoal that promises to be a highly effective method of carbon storage needs three to five years more research before Australian farmers could start using it, says one researcher. The ...

On a site next to a sawmill in Waverly, Virginia, a startup takes sawdust and offcuts from the mill and heats it up to turn it into biochar, a material that can store carbon for hundreds or thousands ...

What is biochar? And could it be used by Australian farmers to sequester carbon, save water and fertilisers, and increase soil microbial life? It may have become a political sound bite of late, but ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal (mostly carbon) produced by heating organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis. This avoids the production of carbon dioxide and locks up the ...

A new forest product sector in Maine is heating up as startup companies establish facilities to turn forest residuals into a versatile high-value product called biochar. Biochar is the solid material ...

Biochar has been heralded as a solution to a number of agricultural and environmental ills. To get the most benefit from its application, environmental and social circumstances should both be ...

Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is made from biomass through a thermochemical conversion process known as pyrolysis. Don’t worry if that all sounds like a mouthful—read on for an introduction ...

A Data Center Could Be Coming to an Upstate New York Town, and Residents Are Speaking Out A Disease-Carrying Mosquito Has Landed in the Rocky Mountains Where It Historically Couldn’t Survive Mamdani ...

I said in my recent book that perhaps the only tool we had to bring carbon dioxide back to pre-industrial levels was to let the biosphere pump it from the air for us. It currently removes 550bn tons a ...

Improve your soil by making biochar in the ground. DIY biochar enhances nutrient availability and also enables soil to retain nutrients longer. Last year, I committed one of the great sins of ...

Biochar is a “charcoal-like substance that’s made by burning organic material from agricultural and forestry wastes (also called biomass) in a controlled process called pyrolysis,” according to ...
