A team of agricultural and environmental scientists has developed a simple biochar based technology that can strip self toxic ...

A five year field study in southern China shows that a single application of biochar combined with reduced nitrogen ...

An economically viable model to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been developed to thwart runaway, point-of-no-return global warming. The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar ...

Three million years ago, there were no humans, global temperatures were possibly four degrees celsius warmer and sea levels were high enough to cover most of modern-day Manhattan. This was also the ...

Clean cellulosic biomass used in biochar production is no longer considered waste under the Clean Air Act (CAA). Biochar systems now have a clear path through the previously burdensome Other Solid ...

Background and aims Biochar additions to tropical soils have been shown to reduce N leaching and increase N use efficiency. No studies exist verifying reduced N leaching in field experiments on ...

Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from plant biomass, has long been hailed as a promising tool for carbon dioxide removal. However, a new study by Stanford researchers highlights a critical ...

HOLYOKE — Like many people, Michael Garjian believes global warming is a pressing issue of our times. Unlike most, he’s putting his ideas for reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into practice — ...
