I thought biochar is a carbon stable form that is in demand as a soil amendment?
- Sharlin 3y agoBiochar is simply charcoal with some specifics as to how it's made, and charcoal is just pyrolysed biomass.
- waldothedog 3y agoYes. The quoted line is saying that NOT using the materials to make bio char would mean losing the 100 years of carbon stability, and instead generating methane if dumper into landfill.
