Biochar's carbon storage potential undervaluedFriday 7 Feb 2025
The paper, published in Environmental Research Letters points the way to more accurately evaluating biochar, and boosting its credibility as a climate change solution. The research challenges conventional durability metrics and proposes a more nuanced framework for evaluating biochar projects. It grew out of an early project looking at soil's ability to capture carbon dioxide. "We realized that even though biochar is really important component of the carbon removals market, there is very little useful data on how it actually behaves," said study co-author Kate Maher, a professor of Earth system science in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. "It is important for policymakers and buyers to be aware of this." More >> Source & image credit: Phys.org Image credit: Oregon Dept of Forestry | ||
