Biochar, the most durable solution for Carbon Removal
Biochar impacts the reduction of CO2 emissions primarily through two mechanisms:
Carbon Sequestration
Biochar is produced through the process of pyrolysis, which heats organic material (like agricultural waste, wood, or other biomass) in a low-oxygen environment, converting it into a stable form of carbon that can last in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. When incorporated into the soil, biochar locks away the carbon that would otherwise decompose and release CO2 back into the atmosphere. This long-term storage of carbon effectively removes CO2 from the carbon cycle, reducing overall CO2 emissions.
Soil Amendment
By improving soil health, biochar can also lead to indirect reductions in CO2 emissions. Healthier soils support better plant growth and higher crop yields, which in turn can enhance the photosynthesis process, capturing more CO2 from the atmosphere. Additionally, biochar reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, the production and use of which are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Through these pathways, the application of biochar as a soil amendment contributes further to the reduction of CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
