The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of biochar on the composting process of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) under real conditions. Different doses of ...

A study finds that “preparing” biochar through composting can make it far more effective for improving soil fertility and boosting plant growth. Biochar, a carbon-rich material made by heating biomass ...

Due to the significant population growth and industrial and agricultural development, agricultural waste has increased, including residues from greenhouses, gardens, and farms. Recycling is an ...

A new study shows that combining biochar with beneficial microbes can significantly speed up composting of municipal solid waste and improve the quality of the final product, offering a promising ...

A new study by researchers from Sichuan Agricultural University and international collaborators provides the most comprehensive evidence to date that biochar, a charcoal-like substance made from ...

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a proposed method of carbon dioxide sequestration that involves spreading crushed silicate minerals on soils to drive chemical reactions that form carbonate minerals: ...

Construction on the biochar composting facility in Winton Woods is underway. Great Parks Sustainability Coordinator Stephanie Bacher says the bays will be used to hold biochar and the working compost ...

Most people probably don't think about soil as a living thing. But it is filled with millions of tiny organisms that play a critical role in everything soil does—including sequestering carbon.

California has a methane problem. The state’s dairy industry is the largest in the nation, but all those dairy cattle are producing more than milk. Foul-smelling slurry ponds of manure dot the Central ...

Tino creates his own biochar to boost crop yields and soil quality. Biochar is a soil additive that improves soil health and fertility. It’s essentially charcoal – organic material that’s burnt at ...

A study team from Hefei University of Technology, Zhejiang University, and South China University of Technology revealed that adding carefully treated biochar to cement can significantly improve the ...
