Biochar engineered with artificial humic substances can dramatically amplify sunlight-driven chemical reactions, offering a ...

Researchers have developed a new strategy to engineer biochar with dramatically enhanced sunlight-driven chemical activity, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The story so far: With the Indian carbon market set to be launched in 2026, CO2 removal technologies such as biochar are expected to play a crucial role. Biochar is a type of charcoal rich in carbon ...

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 ...
