- Biochar - Wikipedia
Biochar is defined by the International Biochar Initiative as the "solid material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass in an oxygen-limited environment"
- What Is Biochar and How Is It Used? | USU
Biochar is a charcoal-like product made from biomass waste, such as wood or agricultural waste, paper mill waste, or other biological residues The concept for use as a soil amendment originated in Amazonian terra preta soils
- Biochar - MIT Climate Portal
Biochar is a type of processed plant matter that is very rich in carbon Lightweight, black and very porous, it looks and feels very much like charcoal But where charcoal is used for cooking and heat, biochar is used in soils to help grow crops It can also help address climate change
- Biochar Introduction | US Biochar Initiative
Through biochar, biomass becomes a sustainable and value-added product for urban and rural agricultural and forest communities by creating jobs, improving soil, and reducing forest fire hazards
- What is Biochar? - BiocharDaily
Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced by heating organic biomass in a low-oxygen environment through a process called pyrolysis It has gained significant attention for its soil-enhancing properties, carbon sequestration potential, and environmental benefits
- Biochar Properties and Guidelines for Making the Right Biochar . . .
In the last of a four-part series, University of Georgia Ornamental Specialist Ping Yu looks at biochar’s physical and chemical properties, and provides a guide for those who may want to make their own biochar mixes
- Biochar in Agriculture: A Review on Sources, Production, and . . . - MDPI
This review emphasizes the main challenges and future prospects for biochar use in comparison to modified biochar (MB) to propose the best practices for sustainable farming systems
- About Biochar - International Biochar Initiative
Biochar is produced through pyrolysis or gasification — processes that heat biomass in the absence (or under reduction) of oxygen In addition to creating a soil enhancer, sustainable biochar practices can produce oil and gas byproducts that can be used as fuel, providing clean, renewable energy
