A technology has been developed to quickly convert livestock manure, a significant issue in animal farming, into valuable "black gold" rich in carbon within a day. Dr. Yoo Ji-ho and his research team ...

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

Biochar can help turn agricultural waste into clean hydrogen fuel while cutting carbon pollution, according to a new study in the journal Biochar. Researchers report that a simple two stage catalytic ...

A new study published in Biochar shows that the water naturally present in plant biomass is not merely a processing obstacle.

Researchers at the Clean Air Research Laboratory of the Korea Institute of Energy Research have developed a process that converts 10 tonnes of livestock manure into biochar (biomass and charcoal) in a ...

What is biochar? And could it be used by Australian farmers to sequester carbon, save water and fertilisers, and increase soil microbial life? It may have become a political sound bite of late, but ...

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 ...

A new review of research suggests that the nature-based technology biochar—a carbon-rich material—could be an important tool to use in agriculture to help mitigate climate change. It's for these ...

A ripe whiff of sludge drifts across the sewage works in Bingen, Germany, as a conveyor belt feeds a stream of semi-dried effluent into a steel container. Behind the container, the treated effluent ...
