Climate Mitigation: Biochar, created from organic waste like crop residues, has the capacity to capture atmospheric CO2, aiding in climate change mitigation.
Soil Health: It also contributes to improving soil fertility and can enhance plant growth, with the carbon sequestration effect lasting for hundreds of years.
Potential for Greenhouse Gas Reduction:
Long-term Stability: A substantial portion of this sequestered carbon would remain in the soil over a century, offsetting a major fraction of agricultural emissions.
Global Biochar Production Outlook:
Sustainable Practices: Accounting for sustainable harvesting and alternative uses of crop residues, biochar production still presents a considerable opportunity for carbon capture.
Biochar stands out as a promising tool for reducing excess atmospheric CO2 while simultaneously enriching soil health, representing a synergy between agricultural advancement and climate change mitigation strategies.
