According to the World Economic Forum, regenerative agriculture is a way of farming that focuses on soil health, which indirectly produces more food and nutrition, stores more carbon, and increases biodiversity—the variety of species.

A number of research scientists believe that the potential of our soils to sequester carbon has been seriously overestimated. Some recent studies, estimating the potential of farmland to store more carbon through innovative soil management, are presenting an overoptimistic picture of what can be achieved and the analyses need to undergo a ‘reality check’, according […]

A new study is assessing the permanence of biochar carbon removal in terms of locking away the CO2 from going back to the atmosphere. The results are groundbreaking and point to higher durability than previously considered. The research is peer-reviewed by Hamed Sanei, Arka Rudra, Zia Møller Moltesen Przyswitt, Sofie Kousted, Marco Benkhettab Sindlev, Xiaowei Zheng, […]

01 December 2023, Africa: I visited a feisty grandmother in Kisumu County, Kenya, a few years ago. Abol was 75 years old then. As she approached to greet us, her gait was sure, and her smile was heartful. Her calloused hand clasped mine gently. We exchanged pleasantries. We talked about the good old days, rains […]

This article is brought to you thanks to the collaboration of The European Sting with the World Economic Forum. Author: Dr. Berta Moya, Carbon Removal Sourcing and Methodology Development, Carbonfuture Biochar Carbon Removal is a way to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with wide-ranging co-benefits. For example, Biochar’s use as a soil amendment can […]

Biochars are cost effective, carbonaceous amendments that can immobilize potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils. Application of silicon (Si) has been shown to mitigate the effect of soil PTEs on plants. Studies on the interaction effects of Si and biochars in PTE-contaminated soils are limited. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the […]

Increasing organic carbon in soils has been promoted as a way to help combat climate change while also improving soil fertility and crop yields, but a new paper shows that promised yield increases at a global scale would be negligible with current technologies and optimal management practices. Importantly, the paper finds that regions with low […]

Upon my recent second viewing of the “Kiss the Ground” documentary, I felt the need to share my thoughts on the film’s optimistic claims about Earth’s soils capacity to store carbon dioxide for climate stabilization. The film, in its pursuit of a utopian “silver bullet” solution, overlooks significant details. A misleading graphic shown early in […]

Chainsaws revved at John Keene Excavation and the air smelled of campfire and resinous pine, as scientists and climate activists gathered recently for step one of a project aiming to reimagine Island waste and habitat management. Dressed in thick yellow canvas, with a clear plastic face shield protecting wide oval glasses, forest biologist Ken Carloni […]

–(BUSINESS WIRE)–American BioCarbon, a revolutionary manufacturer of sustainable products derived from sugarcane bagasse, has been pre-certified by Puro.earth for CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) generated by bagasse biochar production in its commercial facility. This milestone marks a significant step in American BioCarbon’s mission to combat climate change through innovative solutions that simultaneously address multiple UN Sustainable […]
