Excerpt:
…the facility turns plant waste from parks and homes \u2013 everything from grass clippings to trees and limbs \u2013 into carbon-capturing charcoal that residents can then use in their window boxes and gardens to promote plant growth. Biochar is a powerful soil conditioner, it decreases carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere and, through its production, it will even create enough energy to provide heat and hot water for more than 80 apartments in the city….<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n

BIOCHAR: A possible Game changer\u00a0for mitigation and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) – as well as agricultural benefits!<\/strong><\/li>\r\n
\r\nBiochar is a way to enhance the soil, improve soil-moisture retention and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
\r\n
It is a solution to reducing the global impact of farming as well as utilize\u00a0and in reduce and make use of agricultural waste.<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
\r\n
Since biochar can sequester carbon in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years,[2] it has received considerable interest as a potential tool to slow global warming.<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
\r\n
The burning and natural decomposition of trees and agricultural matter contributes a large amount of CO2 released to the atmosphere. Instead, pyrolized Biochar can store this carbon in the ground in the form of charcoal and provide the micro-porous habitat for fungi and bacteria continue to pull carbon out of the atmosphere and thus aid in reducing atmospheric CO2 from the atmosphere.<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
\r\n
At the same time its presence in the earth can improve water quality, increase soil fertility, raise agricultural productivity and reduce pressure on old-growth forests.<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
\r\n
See links below on its history first discovered by the Amazonians and more recently by the Japanese (seeking links for the latter).<\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

Biochar seems to be presently popular as a soil enhancer; NOT FULLY APPRECIATED is its sequestering capabilities. Please read the following 2 articles (more might be added later) and disseminate\/thanks:<\/strong><\/li>\r\n
