Biochar was included for the first time as a promising
negative emission technology in the new IPCC special report, 8
th
October 2018. The inclusion of biochar is an important milestone for mitigating
climate change and fostering research on pyrogenic carbon. Since the EU
is obliged to fund research in negative emission technologies due to the
Paris Agreement, it can be expected that biochar research and
development will start to receive more funding in the near
term. Here, authors provide a short summary on
pyrogenic carbon capture and storage (PyCCS) and relevant excerpts from the new IPCC special report.
That is great - that more research can be done on biochar - I have spent time proving the benefit in fruiting of veg crops - but we need the more scientific/microscopic level of research done. have managed to grow seeds in 75% biochar, produced upto 60% more weight and number of fruits on tomatoes, and shown by droughting experiments that biochar can keep plants alive over ten days longer than those just in coil with no biochar added. would love to experiment more and contribute to research
