Once burned, biochar can then be added to degraded soil, which it improves by helping it “retain water and nutrients,” per Forbes. The resulting effect can lead to potentially better crop ...

Farmers scorch weeds, husks and other biomass to create biochar, then tuck it into the soil to boost crop yields and lock that carbon out of the atmosphere. Recent research, however, suggests ...

By transforming biomass into biochar on site, the technology optimizes the efficiency of the process while contributing to ...
