Korean researchers found a way to turn wet coffee grounds into cleaner, faster biochar, skipping the energy-intensive drying ...

A new study published in Biochar shows that the water naturally present in plant biomass is not merely a processing obstacle.

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 ...

A new study reveals how a simple, low-cost material could significantly boost the production of clean hydrogen fuel from waste. Researchers have demonstrated that biochar, a carbon-rich material made ...

Biochar can help turn agricultural waste into clean hydrogen fuel while cutting carbon pollution, according to a new study in the journal Biochar. Researchers report that a simple two stage catalytic ...

With the growing global attention to climate change and reducing environmental pollution, it is necessary to look for sustainable technologies that help curtail carbon dioxide emissions and create ...

A technology has been developed to quickly convert livestock manure, a significant issue in animal farming, into valuable "black gold" rich in carbon within a day. Dr. Yoo Ji-ho and his research team ...

The growing demand for grapevine planting materials, due to growing global viticulture, is promoting research studies to improve vineyard sustainability. In greenhouse nurseries, peat is the most ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new plasma-based process that converts wet coffee waste into high-performance ...

“As the global momentum toward low-carbon, regenerative agriculture grows, biochar provides Australian farmers with a ...

AMES, Iowa – Heat up stalks, stems, leaves or wood in a reactor with little or no oxygen (in a process called pyrolysis) and you get bio-oil for fuel and biochar for fertilizer. There’s always a ...

As the climate changes, large parts of southern Australia are projected to get drier. Extreme rains are also becoming more common. For farmers, these changes pose big risks. What can we do to manage ...
