This paper came across my desk this morning. I haven't had time to dig through it completely, but it looks intriguing.

Thanks, Jeff. This seems like an important development. Both a credibility enhancer and a way for PURO to grow. Biochar is mentioned in the article. Kim

FYI, this is a major, although indirect, endorsement of biochar as a climate change mitigation strategy: https://www.businessgreen.com/news/4032161/nasdaq-snaps-majority-stake-carbon-removal-marketpla

Tom, I agree with you. Small scale is the problem. Pyreg is great, but its really expensive. My economics show that you can breakeven with a $50 tipping fee and $75 carbon credits (no other sales valu

Rob, This is all true and it is great to see the progress by Carbo Culture and Pyreg at what is industrially a small scale (~30,000 dry tpy ~4 dry tph). It is difficult to get pyrolysis processes fina

Tom - I think the 250,000 tons of chips refers to wet. I believe they pay $30/ton. Even drying the chips with process heat and re-selling them would be a good use. Standard Biocarbon in Maine is putti

Rob, Mike Antal passed in 2015. The technology he developed at the University of Hawaii has been adopted and modified by Carbon Culture. At this stage it is still at the beginning of scale up and has

Albert, I have become involved in a project in Vermont which is intended to replace a biomass chip burner producing 20MW, while consuming 250,000 tons of woodchips per year. Apparently, the electricit

Seems like packaging old wine in new bottles. From the article it would seem: Carbo Culture steers clear of using the word ‘biochar.’ Biocarbon seems okay. They licensed the Michael Antal patent for p

Huge shout out to Carbo Culture for securing $6.2 seed funding which will be used to grow their team, pursue product development, and build one of Europe’s largest carbon removal facilities. https://t

Interesting video was recently released in India on three decentralized sites that separate liquid from solids and produce biochar. https://vimeo.com/467730252/eabf702e3c

Michael, I believe that the major unique benefit of biochar in soil is to induce carbon sequestration. For that you need incentives. There are other benefits in soil of course, but in most cases they

In addition to what others are saying, I suggest the concept of “additionality” is wrongheaded. It penalizes business models, like biochar production, that deliver co-linear benefits to customers unli

Hello Robert Gillett and all, Ever since Hans-Peter Schmidt of the Ithaka Institute for Carbon Intelligence introduced the Carbon Cascade of “55 uses of Biochar” then followed by Kathleen Draper with

The graphic appears to assume that biochar is being made by harvesting perfectly good forests. Otherwise it would be shown as a derivative of biomass. As a product of biomass, biochar should have a no
