Korean researchers found a way to turn wet coffee grounds into cleaner, faster biochar, skipping the energy-intensive drying ...

Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is made from biomass through a thermochemical conversion process known as pyrolysis. Don’t worry if that all sounds like a mouthful—read on for an introduction ...

Phosphorus is a necessary nutrient required for all life. However, it is only found in limited quantities in nature. In a new doctoral thesis at the University of Borås in Sweden, biochar plays a ...

Agriculture accounts for a large share of global greenhouse gas emissions, and the path to carbon neutrality is not straightforward. Researchers from Land-CRAFT—Center for Landscape Research in ...

Researchers have developed a practical and low cost method to transform agricultural waste into high quality biochar, significantly increasing its ability to store carbon and help combat climate ...

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 ...

Australia produces over 31 million tonnes of food waste each year, creating serious challenges for both the environment and the economy. Researchers at the University of New South Wales and their ...

Concrete is one of the most common materials on Earth, thanks to its high strength and low cost – but it’s also one of the largest single sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Engineers at Washington ...
