Category: Biochar

Biochar techniques propose to burn biomass and municipal waste in the absence of oxygen to create charcoal. This charcoal is then mixed into soils as a soil additive, directly burying carbon into the soil. The approach is inspired by (but very different from) Amazonian Terra Preta black soils where indigenous communities have used charcoal to improve fertility.
