Biochar could potentially capture a few billion tons of environmentally damaging gases every year. Researchers uncover ...

A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and ...

On a site next to a sawmill in Waverly, Virginia, a startup takes sawdust and offcuts from the mill and heats it up to turn it into biochar, a material that can store carbon for hundreds or thousands ...

Phosphorus is a necessary nutrient required for all life. However, it is only found in limited quantities in nature. In a new ...

Each year, more than 1.5 billion tons of agricultural waste is produced globally, a volume that continues to rise as food demand increases. Traditional waste disposal methods—including landfilling and ...

A new study finds that a nitrification inhibitor outperforms biochar in increasing crop yields and reducing nitrous oxide ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal (mostly carbon) produced by heating organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis. This avoids the production of carbon dioxide and locks up the ...

Engineered “biochar” made from waste wood and natural clay minerals could help buildings stay comfortable while cutting energy use for cooling by nearly a quarter, according to a new study in the ...

Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from plant biomass, has long been hailed as a promising tool for carbon dioxide removal. However, a new study by Stanford researchers highlights a critical ...
