A team of agricultural and environmental scientists has developed a simple biochar based technology that can strip self toxic chemicals from pepper growing soils and restore healthy seed germination.

Burning trees to help other trees grow? It sounds counterintuitive, but using biochar to improve soil conditions is a ...

A Somerset farmer is trialling an innovative underground drainage system using biochar in a bid to protect fragile peat soils ...

Three million years ago, there were no humans, global temperatures were possibly four degrees celsius warmer and sea levels were high enough to cover most of modern-day Manhattan. This was also the ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Western Australia and Universitas Brawijaya has found that adding biochar to advanced food waste recycling systems can significantly increase the ...

An economically viable model to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been developed to thwart runaway, point-of-no-return global warming. The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar ...

Local parks in Cincinnati have been using an ingredient called biochar to help trees grow. They’ve been purchasing it from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers may have found a useful role for rice husk waste in 3D printing: making PLA parts slide better and wear less.
