Can biochar link forest restoration with commercial agriculture?

摘要

1.Biochar-based products utilize low-value biomass from forest restoration projects. Simultaneously, biochar can: 2.Prolong the storage of soil water 3.Sequester carbon in soils 4.Improve plant productivity 5.Our economic analysis determined that: 6.Microwave pyrolysis is more costly than thermal pyrolysis 7.Electrical generation from this process adds a significant cost 8.Further analyses will determine if these extra costs can be offset.
