To move the technology forward, scientists at Stanford are trying to come up with more accurate measurements, for how much greenhouse gas is really being stored and how long the biochar lasts.

Ghosh says that open kilns such as the CharBoss or Porteous's backyard setup aren't perfect at creating biochar, as the best biochar is made when you're able to limit the oxygen. But she says it's ...
