Re: Terra Preta in the news

Can I just ask how they gear up the cooker to produce syngas or synfuel? Does cooking up biochar tailored for biochar and energy compromise something at some point? (As opposed to just cooking it up for biochar itself.)

And with these more high tech biochar cookers cooking it all in a low-oxygen environment, does that just involve restricting airflow or involve other gases such as Nitrogen being injected? How expensive is Nitroogen anyway? And why does my mate keep insisting that they'd use Nitrogen?

(I'm from a humanities background and need the tech broken down into English please. )
