Biochar Offers Carbon-Negative Solution to Boost Crop Yields and Sequester Atmospheric CO2
Biochar, made from burning biomass without oxygen, is a solid material rich in carbon. It is getting attention for its ability to trap carbon, produce clean energy, manage waste, enhance farming, and restore the environment. Unlike other bioenergy, biochar can store carbon in the soil for thousands of years and improve crop growth by retaining water and nutrients. Recent studies show that using biochar can benefit agriculture and the environment.
