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

Tomaso, You are absolutely correct about the potential instability of injected, liquid CO2. I, however, have never considered this a carbon removal technology but only an emissions reduction technolog

John, I'm not the chemist who would be able to recommend methods to try, but it may be sufficient to simply dissolve calcium in water and soak or spray the char with it. It could be done on a conveyor

I have heard that if biochar is amended with a cation with a double plus charge, such as calcium or iron, the resulting composite will adsorb phosphorus. Stephan might be able to tell us if dusting th
