Biochar is often seen as a climate solution, but a new study shows it can either cut or boost nitrous oxide emissions depending on the soil.

A new study published in Biochar presents a practical and regulation-compliant design for producing biochar on farms that could dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture while ...

Researchers at the University of Leeds unveil a farm-based biochar system that reduces manure emissions by 75%, sequesters carbon in soil ...

On a site next to a sawmill in Waverly, Virginia, a startup takes sawdust and offcuts from the mill and heats it up to turn it into biochar, a material that can store carbon for hundreds or thousands ...

University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, with other partners, is embarking on a large-scale three-year project to find more efficient ways to increase water conservation and plant growth, and ...

Calling Kelpie Wilson a “biochar believer” isn’t a joke. “I’m a believer in science,” she said, “and the science tells us biochar is worth pursuing.” And at this point in her life, Wilson is in chase ...
