A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and organic waste, could transform how scientists clean polluted water and soil.

Each year, more than 1.5 billion tons of agricultural waste is produced globally, a volume that continues to rise as food demand increases. Traditional waste disposal methods—including landfilling and ...

On a site next to a sawmill in Waverly, Virginia, a startup takes sawdust and offcuts from the mill and heats it up to turn it into biochar, a material that can store carbon for hundreds or thousands ...

Biochar as a material is not novel. It has been produced by humans for more than 2,000 years. But churning out the material ...

Biochar is a form of charcoal (mostly carbon) produced by heating organic matter in the absence of oxygen, a process called pyrolysis. This avoids the production of carbon dioxide and locks up the ...

Engineered “biochar” made from waste wood and natural clay minerals could help buildings stay comfortable while cutting ...

Researchers have developed a powerful machine learning framework that can accurately predict and optimize biochar production from algae, offering a ...
