Understanding Biochar from Biomass Energy -- Part I

During the next few months we will be posting our understanding of the potential benefits of biochar (on our Blog and also our webpages on Biochar and Soils).

Three aspects of biochar have especially piqued our interest:

(1) Terrestrial carbon sequestration and reductions in other greenhouse gases like nitrous oxide emissions from soils,

(2) Improvements in Water Quality (e.g., wetland creation and enhancements, water pollution from nutrient runoff -- P, K, N).

(3) Agriculture (improved soils for higher crop yields requiring less fertilizer).
