Building the Future from the Ground Up!
US Biochar Initiative is not-for-profit organization promoting the sustainable production and use of biochar through research, policy, technology and doing it!
Biochar is fine-grained charcoal made by pyrolysis, the process of heating biomass with limited to no oxygen in a specially designed furnace capturing all emissions, gases, and oils for reuse as energy. It's been used in agriculture for more than 2,500 years and is becoming increasingly popular in modern agriculture and horticulture as a safe, sustainable soil amendment to improve the soil's porosity and it's retention of water and nutrients.
Biochar production is carbon negative and helps reduce CO2 emissions when biomass production is managed sustainably. Decaying or burning biomass releases CO2. Biochar retains approximately 50% of the carbon from the raw biomass, sequestering that carbon in the soil and enhancing plant growth which, in turn, absorbs more CO2 from the atmosphere.

Fantastic!
That's great. The 4% biochar is surprisingly low.
Greetings! Your content is great, but it’s missing essential SEO components like tags and keywords. These are key for increasing visibility and engagement. I’m a UA-cam SEO expert and can help you optimize your channel. Let’s connect to discuss the next steps!
Hello there! I really enjoyed your video, but I noticed it’s lacking proper SEO. Missing tags, keywords, and a low SEO score can limit your growth. I can help you improve this and boost your channel’s performance. Let’s schedule a chat to talk about how I can assist you!
Hey, A lively video🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested and keep creating good content:)
Should have used a larger unit for this demo but I see lots of applications here.
Regulation, codes and a bunch of all tones of intellectual white washing BS.... please keep it simple....let this black gold rise in its value naturally . Stop hyping "superficializing" it.
Here we go again with the imperialist highjacking of a natural primitive process....
The government involved in anything-- jacks up everything Just watch
hi l will like to know more information for the modular reactor tks
The current price of carbon credits is incredibly low. And major corporations have been burned in the court of public opinion for buying carbon credits in projects that turned out to be scams, so they're pivoting away from buying carbon credits as a means of being carbon neutral.
Its a shame. The current prices don't even cover the cost of buying char to intern.
Patrick, did I simply miss the type of biochar?
❤❤

Could you recommend it for a hay field ?
Biochar is an incomplete solution on its own. Without soil, compost and microbiology it can’t do anything. It’s really only good for amending poor soils and only in conjunction with the above. And the production and logistics economics pretty much remove it from the equation. Really only good for small scale specialty applications.
Thank you!!!
I live in an arid climate & currently use humanure in the construction of hugelkulture raised beds, where the partially rotted wood is laid in the beds and humanure is used to fill the voids, with a generous layering of grass clippings, cow manure & soil to seal in the odors. This has worked well for me, but I've wanted to incorporate charcoal into my soil, so am investigating using it in the manner you do... I'm just not wanting to bring/use charcoal dust indoors... maybe I'll keep it damp to prevent dust when covering the goods. 😉
Hi, I'm looking for some simplified and detailed descriptions of how to manufacture biochar on site. We are working on an abandoned strip mine, and logging land.
Hello i am mr San in Cambodia i interesting with this project a bout Bia char
I am curious. Why to use gasification as opposed to pyrolysis?
How much fossil fuel is used per hour? for the charring machine and for the excavator? Seems like one excavator could/should easily feed 3-5 of the charbosses to be more efficient..
Is this program available in Wisconsin? There is no code 808 on the Wisconsin EQIP payment rate PDF file.
The slides appear out of focus........ do they look good to you?
the whole title and 1st few minutes are like Code lol
We will encode it again at higher quality to see if that fixes it.
I can't get through on your phone.
Okay, nobody has 6 hours, give me the executive summary. Or just tell me, how much will say, 253 metric tons of carbon sequestration cost me, for, say, as an example, 28 private jet trips in 2 months? Asking for a friend, who might be involved in social media.
Please contact me - I've been trying to call you.
Could you contact me?

This is incredible technology! Do you have any information on the efficiency of the Char Boss? My guess is 15%?

This is not real biochar wood that is is just a charcoal those guys are doing it's not the real thing
Donald. You can test the biochar yourself or have it analyzed. You will find that it is the real thing. These mobile systems make good quality chars. The yield is lower than in a gasifier or pyrolyzer but it will benefit the soil and soil biology just as well as chars from those devices.
Can you buy this machine ?
biochar is charcoal charged up with minerals.
I agree. It's not heating the oganic matter in the absence of oxygen. There seems to be a common acceptance of making charcoal with O2 and calling it biochar. This charcoal may improve the soil. However, from my research, biochar last much longer, acting as a much more effective carbon capture product, it has better water retention properties, and therefore has a greater benefit on soil microbial mass, and for many more years. To be fair, as I said, it's commonly accepted (although wrong) that burning organics to make charcoal is "biochar". -Ken.
Amazing thank you! I’m starting a biochar project and initiative in southern Spain right now - it’s very inspirational and helpful your content here!!
Has been searching for the answer to this question: where is the market? Who will buy biochar? Thank you for uploading
Carbon Banking ....... LOL . Doomed to go the way of carbon pricing, carbon trading, carbon tax and spend etc.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL Doomed like humanity if we don't do shit. Also the banking system is already effed and the US Dollar is Fiat Currency. So it's doomed like the dollar LOLOLOLOLOL
Quick question, around 11:00 he's discussing BOD removal - and clogging of the bags with surplus BOD - but I can't find where he states what BOD stands for.
BOD = Biochemical Oxygen Demand
Dr.Smith, for biochar would hemp straw biochar be accepted? daniel.visan@kftcwa.com
Great information you are providing. Where can I find information on straw biochar applied to wheat production and its results? daniel.visan@kftcwa.com
What was the aggregate size?
I stumbled into this idea myself. I started filling all the holes in the lawn with Biochar just as an easy way to start getting it applied somewhere. I then on a whim broadcast it in the high traffic area at the gate for the chickens. Really helped take the squish out of the mud at that location. I have in front of the garage door I have not done yet as its so close to the house I was concerned about tracking it in like you mentioned.
Are there any studies of straw biochar and growth of wheat? daniel.visan@kftcwa.com
Google "google scholar straw biochar wheat" 62 plants in China are converting straw and maize stover to 500,000 tons of biochar based fertilizer which is used on their field crops with good success. See link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42773-019-00019-0
