Read more about it.

Biochar has the potential of saving the world.

SO WHAT IS IT???

Biochar is an organic compound that will not only help to improve the soil but also assist in retaining moisture in the ground to increase crop yield considerably.
It is carbon negative. It has the ability to store CO2 for a long period thus helping to reduce the net amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. It is made entirely from feedstock through a process called carbonization at high temperatures. The steam produced can be used to power turbines to produce electricity.
The carbon sequestered this way is locked up forever. It is cheaper than sequestering carbon deep in the ground as proposed by some politicians.
