A new review of emerging research suggests that biochar, a carbon-rich material produced from biomass, could play an important role in making 3D ...

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 ...

A study published in Environmental and Biogeochemical Processes determined that iron-fortified, low-temperature biochar can immobilize per- and polyfluoroa | Cannabis Sciences ...

A new scientific review points to nanobiochar, an engineered carbon material derived from biomass, as a promising solution for some of the world's ...

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 experiment shows biochar survives cow digestion largely intact, potentially turning cattle into a vehicle for spreading ...

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 ...

Excessive use of fertilizers has fueled global food production, but it has also left behind a serious problem: nitrate pollution in soil and water. High nitrate levels threaten drinking water safety, ...
