Scientists found that biochar doesn’t just capture pollutants, it actively destroys them using direct electron transfer. This newly recognized ability accounts for up to 40% of its cleaning power and ...

Scientists have discovered that tweaking the composition of biochar, a charcoal-like material made from biomass, can significantly improve its ability to trap and neutralize toxic groundwater ...

Nitrogen dioxide is one of the most harmful air pollutants in urban and industrial regions, contributing to respiratory ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal (mostly carbon) produced by heating organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis. This avoids the production of carbon dioxide and locks up the ...

On a site next to a sawmill in Waverly, Virginia, a startup takes sawdust and offcuts from the mill and heats it up to turn it into biochar, a material that can store carbon for hundreds or thousands ...

Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is made from biomass through a thermochemical conversion process known as pyrolysis. Don’t worry if that all sounds like a mouthful—read on for an introduction ...

Global biochar industry projected to nearly triple in value to over $2 billion by 2032 Biochar accounts for over 90% of carbon removal credits but supply struggles to meet demand Small-scale biochar ...
