Researchers have found that most biochar fed to dairy cows survives the digestive process and remains highly stable, meaning it could be applied to fields through manure and act as a long-term carbon ...

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 ...

Scientists are highlighting biochar, a carbon-rich material produced from biomass, as a promising solution to help soils store carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, offering new hope in global ...

Each year, more than 1.5 billion tons of agricultural waste is produced globally, a volume that continues to rise as food demand increases. Traditional waste disposal methods—including landfilling and ...

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 ...
