but biochar requieres high temperatures, which usually produces co2... The problem with all this CO2 Storage is that we have a perfect storage for co2: Oil. Since we burn this storage, we release more and more of that CO2 without anyway to put it back to storage. The tree idea can maybe slow down the climate change, but it is in no way a solution, merely a short stopgap.

Biochar can be produced (and is) by burning off the hydrogen. This is done by restricting oxygen availability, which the hydrogen preferentially bonds with. When the hydrogen is used up, you are left with charcoal, which powdered and mixed into the soil improves it wonderfully. Look up "terra nigra", invented in the Amazon basin.
