Dear Climate Solution Thinkers: Read the latest endorsements of Carbon Negative Energy from Biochar Production at www.GlobalClimateSolutions.org including Dr. James Hansen who has recently stated that:
"Carbon sequestration in soil also has significant potential. Biochar, produced in pyrolysis of residues from crops, forestry, and animal wastes, can be used to restore soil fertility while storing carbon for centuries to millennia. Biochar helps soil retain nutrients and fertilizers, reducing emissions of GHGs such as N2O. Replacing slash-and-burn agriculture with slash-and-char and use of agricultural and forestry wastes for biochar production could provide a CO2 drawdown of ~8 ppm or more in half a century." As always, we're looking for serious sustainable solutions to climate change. If you would like to submit a piece please visit our website for instructions. What we choose to do--or not to do--will make all the difference. Be determined to work together and to win! Respectfully, Ryan D.
