Researchers are working to make biochar production safer by reducing harmful contaminants, ensuring its potential for carbon ...

Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from plant biomass, has long been hailed as a promising tool for carbon dioxide ...

The researchers dug out soil, put it in piles and mixed biochar into half of them. They then set up 24 experimental plots and distributed the soil piles to them in a randomized experiment.

Researchers have developed a new method to manage ecological risks from the DDT toxin by binding it with biochar.

In parallel, they will explore how to scale up the experiment, to be able to mix biochar into the soil without having to dig out large volumes. Using biochar for treatment of contaminated soil is ...

"In our field experiment, we mixed the soil with biochar and grew different plants. We found that biochar binds DDT efficiently, so that it is not taken up by soil organisms," says Paul Drenning ...

This study critiques the two-pool model for biochar, emphasizing the need for improved parameterization to accurately assess ...
