Biochar ranges from 50 to 90 percent carbon and less than 0.1 percent nitrogen. It can be used to restore soil function in areas where there is a loss of organic matter.

Biochar can be made with unused organic materials and can remove carbon and produce biofuels during its production. Biochar carbon removal (BCR) that occurs during biochar production is a …

In Part 1 of this publication, we provide introductory information on biochar used to partially replace peat moss as a container substrate component. Parts 2 and 3 focus on what biochar can do and discuss …

This chapter will provide an overview on the methods employed for the production of biochar. Biochar has been considered by a number of analysts as a means of improving their ability to remediate …

Biochar is a carbon-rich, charcoal-like substance produced by heating organic plant material, known as biomass, that can be used in carbon storage. When applied to soils, biochar can sequester carbon at …

“Biochar is a solid material produced by the thermal decomposition of biomass (such as wood, manure, or leaves) under limited supply of oxygen (O2) and at relatively low temperatures (<700°C).

Biochar production requires heating the biomass to temperatures in which the biomass denatures moisture and volatile compounds, and the biomass is modified to amorphous and crystalline structures.
