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

The growing demand for grapevine planting materials, due to growing global viticulture, is promoting research studies to improve vineyard sustainability. In greenhouse nurseries, peat is the most ...

With the growing global attention to climate change and reducing environmental pollution, it is necessary to look for sustainable technologies that help curtail carbon dioxide emissions and create ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, 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 ...
