Several studies now show the sustainability benefits of biochar. But a new meta analysis reveals how much more could be gained for crops and climate, if farmers keep applying biochar to their land ...

A new study carried out at the University of Helsinki shows biochar can be a promising tool in mitigating the environmental impacts of agriculture also in Finland. In his doctoral study found that ...

Biochar, also referred to as carbon material, is produced from the thermochemical conversion process (heating or burning) of feedstocks or waste biomass, such as forest residue, crops, or agricultural ...

Biochar, a charcoal-like substance made from burning organic materials in a low or zero-oxygen environment, can improve the quality of soil and trap carbon dioxide in the earth for potentially ...

A new review of research suggests that the nature-based technology biochar—a carbon-rich material—could be an important tool to use in agriculture to help mitigate climate change. It's for these ...

The abstract benefits of biochar for long-term storage of carbon and nitrogen on American farms are clear, and now new research from Rice University shows a short-term, concrete bonus for farmers as ...
