A technology has been developed to quickly convert livestock manure, a significant issue in animal farming, into valuable "black gold" rich in carbon within a day. Dr. Yoo Ji-ho and his research team ...

What is biochar? And could it be used by Australian farmers to sequester carbon, save water and fertilisers, and increase soil microbial life? It may have become a political sound bite of late, but ...

Biochar can help turn agricultural waste into clean hydrogen fuel while cutting carbon pollution, according to a new study in the journal Biochar. Researchers report that a simple two stage catalytic ...

Korean researchers found a way to turn wet coffee grounds into cleaner, faster biochar, skipping the energy-intensive drying ...

A new study published in Biochar shows that the water naturally present in plant biomass is not merely a processing obstacle.

Researchers at the Clean Air Research Laboratory of the Korea Institute of Energy Research have developed a process that converts 10 tonnes of livestock manure into biochar (biomass and charcoal) in a ...

Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is made from biomass through a thermochemical conversion process known as pyrolysis. Don’t worry if that all sounds like a mouthful—read on for an introduction ...

A ripe whiff of sludge drifts across the sewage works in Bingen, Germany, as a conveyor belt feeds a stream of semi-dried effluent into a steel container. Behind the container, the treated effluent ...

A new review of research suggests that the nature-based technology biochar—a carbon-rich material—could be an important tool to use in agriculture to help mitigate climate change. It's for these ...

In a forested area near the tiny town of Riddle on Oregon’s west side, Ken Carloni kneels to examine a native orchid. His white ponytail juts out from under a newsboy cap. To the south, a mosaic of ...
