Hello Kim, It's a nice opportunity in the field of biochar. We found in research that sewage sludge biochar producing in pyrolysis temperature 320 ℃ is the highest container of available phosphorus. B

All, Beef production using feedlots is growing fastest in developing countries. Research in the US is ongoing on how to fix the CH4 and N2O emissions. Sounds like an opportunity for biochar. Kim From

There are also other situations, such as windy days that whisk air away from a field, but the really crucial point is whether feeding charcoal to cows removes part or all of the methane and as another

Sev, Thanks for continuing the discourse. I haven't been so fascinated by a technology since I went through the Navy's nuclear power training program. I would love to delve into supercritical reaction
