Engineered biochar shows promise in wastewater treatment, effectively capturing heavy metals and organic pollutants at low costs through advanced adsorption.

Biochar is regarded by many as a promising negative emissions technology and an important tool in the fight against climate change. It is formed by the pyrolysis of biomass under low-oxygen conditions ...

Researchers in China have developed an advanced biochar-based material that dramatically improves the removal of harmful ...

Jim Archuleta, a retired U.S. Forest Service soil scientist, helped the agency design a mobile biochar processing unit in partnership with a private machinery manufacturer. The Pacific Northwest’s ...

A new comprehensive study highlights the remarkable potential of engineered biochar, a carbon-rich product derived from plant ...

Biochar, a charcoal-like material derived from plant biomass, has long been hailed as a promising tool for carbon dioxide removal. However, a new study by Stanford researchers highlights a critical ...

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 ...

A new study finds that rinsing biochar removes dissolved organics - the key to trapping toxic lead and cleaning contaminated water.

UMD researchers are working on a new biomass product — biochar — to beef up roadside bioswales and absorb pollutants before ...
