Advanced techniques to evaluate the long-term stability and carbon sequestration potential of different types of biochar
Biochar is emerging as one of the most promising tools to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and permanently sequester carbon (C) in soils. The technology is based on pyrolysis of fresh biomass, a process that also generates energy in the form of syn-gas and bio-oil.
