In a three-year project, researchers at NIBIO have tested how biochar affects potato yields and soil quality under Norwegian ...

Soil acidification is quietly threatening agricultural productivity worldwide, reducing crop yields and degrading soil health. Now, a new global study shows that biochar, a carbon-rich material made ...

Researchers developed a biochar nanocomposite that removes tetracycline from water by adsorption and light driven breakdown, achieving over ninety percent removal and enabling reuse.

A new long-term field study reveals that adding biochar to rice paddies can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions ...

Biochar can be produced from a variety of feedstocks, including wood chips, corn cobs, or separated manure solids. Its ...

A five-year field study shows biochar improves soil chemistry and transforms microbial communities in acidifying paddy soils ...

A new study demonstrates that biochar-supported catalysts can efficiently convert biomass tar into hydrogen-rich gas at significantly lower temperatures, offering a promising ...

Biochar may improve soil, but too much can harm ants, disrupting their behavior, teamwork, and the health of the ecosystem.

What is biochar? And could it be used by Australian farmers to sequester carbon, save water and fertilisers, and increase soil microbial life? It may have become a political sound bite of late, but ...

If you take organic waste, subject it to high heat and starve it of oxygen, you will, through a process called pyrolysis, wind up with a pile of char — also known these days as biochar — that doesn’t ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal made in high heat, low oxygen conditions It can be used to produce energy, capture and store carbon and improve soil health But a climate expert warns we should not "over ...
