Assessing the Contribution of Biochar as a Renewable Energy Resource in the Fight Against Climate Change

|

Biochar is a carbon-rich substance that does not degrade in the soil even when left there for millennia. It can also be used as a renewable energy resource. Biochar’s high stability and potential use in carbon sequestration inspired the combustion-based sequestration of carbon-based materials. Because of its capacity to trap carbon with little effort, it
