New automated pyrolysis system converts agricultural residue into biochar to improve soil health, reduce fertilizer ...

A team of agricultural and environmental scientists has developed a simple biochar based technology that can strip self toxic chemicals from pepper growing soils and restore healthy seed germination.

Three million years ago, there were no humans, global temperatures were possibly four degrees celsius warmer and sea levels were high enough to cover most of modern-day Manhattan. This was also the ...

Local parks in Cincinnati have been using an ingredient called biochar to help trees grow. They’ve been purchasing it from ...

Tile drainage is common in U.S. Midwest agricultural fields, helping to remove excess water and aerate the soil. While the practice enhances crop productivity, it can cause phosphorus to leak into ...

A Somerset farmer is trialling an innovative underground drainage system using biochar in a bid to protect fragile peat soils ...

An economically viable model to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been developed to thwart runaway, point-of-no-return global warming. The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar ...

Burning trees to help other trees grow? It sounds counterintuitive, but using biochar to improve soil conditions is a ...

Concrete is one of the most common materials on Earth, thanks to its high strength and low cost – but it’s also one of the largest single sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Engineers at Washington ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Western Australia and Universitas Brawijaya has found that adding biochar to advanced food waste recycling systems can significantly increase the ...
