Climate change mitigation not only requires reductions of greenhouse gas emissions, but also withdrawal of carbon dioxide (CO) from the atmosphere. Here we review the relationship between emissions reductions and COremoval by biochar systems, which are based on pyrolysing biomass to produce biochar, ...
Biochar has a larger climate-change mitigation potential than combustion of the same sustainably procured biomass for bioenergy, except when fertile soils are amended while coal is the fuel being offset.Similar content being viewed by others Biochar in climate change mitigation Article 02 December 2021...
21.1.1Biochar for climate change mitigation Turning organic matter intobiochar, withorganic carbonstabilized in a recalcitrant carbonized matrix, diverts carbon from a relatively rapid biological cycle, with average turnaround time of at most a few decades (Prentice et al., 2001), into a slow car...

However, Dave Levitan, writing for the YaleEnvironment360,explains this dual nature of biochar. Jim Hansen of NASA admits that while biochar “could absolutely add some benefit to a range of climate mitigation strategies,” it’s far from a “miracle cure.” ...
Biomass pyrolysis with biochar returned to soil is a possible strategy for climate change mitigation and reducing fossil fuel consumption. Pyrolysis with biochar applied to soils results in four coproducts: long-term carbon (C) sequestration from stable C in the biochar, renewable energy generation,...
There are many established uses for biochar and even more currently being explored. The most timely use for biochar, however, is its application in climate change mitigation. Andrew Zimmerman positions biochar and soil mixtures in an agricultural field at the University of Florida Plant Science Resea...
Considering the dramatic decrease of carbon stocks in soil organic matter (SOM) due to land use [8] and climate change [9], the recalcitrance of BC-carbon makes BC an attractive possibility for carbon-sequestration as climate change mitigation strategy [9], [10]. While properties of freshly ...
To be included in policy discussions and adapted by decision-makers with regards to climate change mitigation strategies such as biochar application should be technologically feasible and economically viable, which requires the full state of environmental and economic cost and benefits be compared. This ...
Beyond farm productivity, biochar also contributes to climate change mitigation. By reducing synthetic fertiliser application, it proportionally curtails greenhouse gas emissions from production (CO2) and use (N2O). Considering agriculture’s role as a major contributor to climate change, biochar’s impa...
