Biochar Success

BIOCHAR : NEGATIVE EMMISIONS TECHNOLOGY

Recognized by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018 as a negative emissions technology, biochar’s emergence as a natural climate solution is driven by the potential to reduce emissions resulting from the decomposition of organic biomass, instead pyrolysing material into a highly stable form of carbon. 

The IPCC estimates that biochar derived from pyrolysis of woody biomass contains an average 77% organic carbon – most have far more.
