INVENTORY Bio-oil and biochar production both involve the conversion of waste biomass through the process of pyrolysis. In pyrolysis, biomass is heated in an oxygen-limited environment, leading to the decomposition of organic materials into different products. For example, microalgae "eat" carbon diox...
Biochar production is a technique through which carbon from biomass is transformed into stable carbon that can be captured in the soil. In addition to this long-term carbon sequestration role, biochar is also beneficial to soil performance as it improves the retention and diffusion of water and ...
Biochar use has a long history in Brazil. Analysis of soils has revealed that more than 2,000 years ago, Amazonian Indians used to bury stable carbon in the soil. A mixture of broken pottery and various other organic materials has maintained the high fertility potential of these areas to thi...
The mechanism of action of biochar is that it forms a strong bond with carbon making it assume a very stable configuration and hence slows the process of decomposition. Biochar use traps carbon in the soil while hindering its migration into the atmosphere in the form of CO2. This is ...
We are now in a world where the EU ETS is driving substantial mitigation action, which is exactly what it is supposed to do. The question that arises is what comes next? One way of answering that question is to look at a scenario analysis of the EU net-zero emissions goal, such as ...
and generate carbon credits for commercialization that are internationally recognized. Importantly, such standards have been essential in providing detailed guidance in developing and quantifying carbon projects. Examples include the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Climate Action Reserve (CAR), and Gold Sta...
