Wayne of course you can use these files. I don’t need any credit. I agree that tipping fees can pay for producing biochar. This is my game plan. But any scale is a good scale, small, local, over

List: Since biochar seems to fit well with NRCS responsibilities, perhaps some on this list would have an interest in this topic of revised conservation practice standards. (There are 49.) Some

Just think of all the degraded land around the world due to open cut mining activities and or past forest mining / clearfell operations. Here in Australia we have plenty of space to regenerate/

Thanks Frank for sharing your story. The history of human relationship to forests is long and complex. Generally the forests lose, and in the end, we will lose as well. I think Tasmania has lost even

Hi Tom, It has been very interesting for me to observe the changes in the wood energy businesses based around the Northeast US over the last couple decades. It used to be that anyone who was

Your graphics are very good for lectures. Thank you for the informative work. Valentine

Roger, (I am sending this message also to the CDR listserv where there might be further discussion – see prior messages below mine.) Sorry, I changed the Subject line to express the direction

Yes, you do understand my idea. I would like to do some calculations about how much of that biomass that rots in the winter is from crop residues? Is there enough crop residues 2 stop the rise of

Tom, Having a bit of a Rodney Dangerfield moment here. I was excited to read this news when the paper came out and shared it to this group. It did not appear to get the attention deserving of the

Roger, My understanding of the jigsaw rise and fall of atmospheric CO2 is that the increase in vegetation growth in summer draws down the CO2 levels due to increased photosynthesis in the northern

Rick and all, I like your images. As a professor/teacher I love to use things like this in classes, so consider this my asking permission to do so. I won’t use them this year. Classes are

Ron, apologies I made a mistake in my calculations. $50 per ton of biochar on a cubic yard basis is a small number. $50/7.4 cubic yard = $6.75 per cubic yard.

Hi Ron, California moves at its own pace. But once it's in, it goes all in. Currently you can get paid $50 per DRY ton for co-composted biochar with the CDFA grants. A gasifier char, which is dry,

Benoit and ccs: Thanks for the added information on the California webinar and biochar. Sounds like I didn’t miss much. (Kelpie Wilson gave a great biochar webinar that day.) Your screen shot is

Ron, I did attend this webinar below on Tuesday and ask why biochar was not mentioned. The speaker was very good but his answer on biochar had to do with the difficulty to measure benefits for

List, cc Josiah and Rick; Apologies. I didn’t mean to have this sent. Below, I’ve inserted my intended two questions - in hope that we can get other states to follow

List, cc 2 in California At first this announcement didn’t seem to include biochar. But at https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/oefi/healthysoils/docs/2020_HSP_Incentives_RGA.pdf We find that compost

I have been wanting to write a paper on the potential for biochar in carbon capture and sequestration in which I use the carbon dioxide concentration block from the top of that a lion mountain

To Tom and all, Extremely interesting. I will leave the chemistry to the chemists. I will comment on the lower amount of CO2 emissions, which reveal that there was less thermal energy released
