A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and ...

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 ...

A team of researchers from Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) has developed a low-cost, environment-friendly stove named the "BAU Biochar Stove," which can be used simultaneously for cooking and ...

Phosphorus is a necessary nutrient required for all life. However, it is only found in limited quantities in nature. In a new ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from plant biomass, has long been hailed as a promising tool for carbon dioxide removal. However, a new study by Stanford researchers highlights a critical ...

DDT soil pollution is still a major problem in many parts of the world. Researchers have developed a new method to manage ecological risks from the toxin by binding it with biochar. When they mixed ...
