A team of agricultural and environmental scientists has developed a simple biochar based technology that can strip self toxic chemicals from pepper growing soils and restore healthy seed germination.

On-farm biochar production is a step closer to commercialisation after a UK biochar specialist launched an integrated biochar and heat recovery system on ...

Researchers harnessed rice plants to generate electricity using plant microbial fuel cells. Activated biochar electrodes improved power density and lowered methane emissions significantly. The ...

Scientists have developed a new edge-of-field water-treatment system that reduces the load of excess nutrients washing into waterways from farm drainage systems. Their method combines a woodchip ...

Simon Kitol’s 25-acre farm in western Kenya teems with maize, tomatoes, and beans, but also an invasive menace: Prosopis juliflora, better known as the mathenge plant. Its long roots steal water from ...

Concrete has a major environmental cost, while human waste creates another difficult waste-management challenge. Researchers ...

An economically viable model to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has been developed to thwart runaway, point-of-no-return global warming. The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar ...
