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

Maybe ignore my comments... scanning for date & all I could see was from references. Latest I saw was 2011. How do you stop Academia sending you old undated stuff ...

This Carnegie lecture series on governance issues related to Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) by natural methods introduced an expanding definition of BECCS to favor non-plantation biomass crops, woody wa

Paul, et al Yes, ‘Take back Control’ - the mantra of the Stirnerite Libertarians behind UK Brexit, and the 'drain the swamp' man in the White House. We need to be careful. The message of the film (cru

Off course if you used fossil fuels to collect and cut the wood then it wont be carbon neutral unless you put that amount of carbon you used back into the soil. Thus the need for life cycle assessment

Hi Kevin, no problem with hydrogen, I think we are on the same page there. Cheers, Geoff.

#bioenergy

Hi Geoff “Climate Change” is supposedly the result of increased Carbon being added to the Biosphere… the air, the Ocean, the Soil, absorbed by plants, etc. Obviously, CO2 added to the air will immedia

Sure Don, fine to require wood stoves to burn clean, then it is carbon neutral to cook and shower and heat, with wood, but you seem to be saying more than that, what do you mean by an approved carbon

Some interesting comments here. I put this post up to highlight the need for Life Cycle Assessments on biochar projects so that we are truly heading in the right direction and not just kidding ourselv

Thanks Paul, for enduring the last bit of that nonsense, I had to stop at the ‘analysis’ of the ‘hippies; at the music fest, the which apparently were able to borrow enough solar panels to power their

Thanks for following to the end and sharing the nuggets you found there, for nuggets are certainly there for me too. It is so easy to toss the baby out. John Brow.

I am glad that I watched the movie to the end. Rather long, slow, monotone, and depressing. I am glad that I then read the critical comments (by Albert Bates, I think) that pointed out some bias by th

The topic of this film, along with its director, piqued my interest. However, hearing the discussion here, I'm glad I didn't waste my money. I just came across a review that echoes the sentiments expr

Using hydrothermal carbonization ensures that no particulates are released. It also avoids the energy-sapping problem of moist sources of biomass. Ditto the losses from finely-divided biomass. The use

Don, I recall a big campaign in England to stop people in a particularly poor area from using wood to heat their homes because of particulate concerns, - the wood suppliers were given a hard time, the

We've got to somehow separate ourselves from the clearfelling and burning of forests to sustainable sources of biomass from sustainable forestry (PyCCS) and the residues from quick growing crops that

Frank Persevere, the last few scenes in the film, in the forest, complete the message - uncomfortable viewing. IanMcC
