Turning plant waste into biochar captures loads of carbon. New research suggests it stays trapped for much longer than ...

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 ...

Will Brownback of Spiral Path Farm in Perry County, Pennsylvania has been using biochar for more than a decade to help foster ...

Biochar is a substance akin to charcoal that ... It’s typically made through a process called pyrolysis where organic material is heated to a high temperature in a low-oxygen environment ...

Researchers at Utah State University are working on ways to reduce the amount of harmful so-called 'forever chemicals' that ...

Engineers at RMIT University have developed an innovative approach to concrete that could yield major performance boosts in c ...

Pyrolysis for enriched biochar production is the central process in biochar production, where organic materials (biomass) are thermally decomposed at high temperatures in an oxygen-limited ...

In the simplest of terms, you can think about it as just like supercharged charcoal,” Cook County Highway Department Engineer ...

After three public meetings of the Fire Safety Advisory Committee (FSAC), during which refinement and discussion occurred, ...

In January, Qualterra announced a significant expansion of its production capabilities with the acquisition of an agricultural campus in Mabton, Washington, that was made possible through investment ...

Biochar is just the result of humans replicating that process: If the biomass is exposed to sufficiently high temperatures — over 1,000 degrees F is ideal — the carbon should transform into a ...
