Smile Re: Terra Preta in the news

All three of these latest articles have links to other articles including the row starting about the whole idea. I suppose it is better than being ignored. But years of putting up with GW denialists now we have to deal with drop-kick 'biochar denialists' who are not up to speed on Charcoal.
Been there done that just get on and do it.

'Biochar' goes industrial with giant microwaves to lock carbon in charcoal
A ripe whiff of sludge drifts across the sewage works in Bingen, Germany, as a conveyor belt feeds a stream of semi-dried effluent into a steel container.

Behind the container, the treated effluent emerges in the form of glittering black granules. In a flash of eco-alchemy, they are turning sewage into charcoal.

The charcoal is then buried to lock the carbon into the ground and prevent it entering the atmosphere.

Proponents of the technology say it is so effective at storing carbon that it should be included in the next global climate agreement.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
