Peat

Though public awareness is low, some scientists believe “biochar” is quietly becoming the world’s first major carbon removal success story. The waste coffee husks that come out of Synergie Nord Sud (SNS), Cameroon’s largest coffee-processing plant, are no longer left to gradually decompose in a landfill. Instead, these tons of biomass are now transported to […]

Repeat Lithosphere Land CO2 removal methods New methods Conventional methods Conventional CO₂ removal methods, such as reforestation, store the captured carbon in the land reservoir. Novel methods, such as ocean alkalinisation, are deployed on smaller scales and store carbon in the lithosphere, ocean or products.

Abstract Peat remains the primary constituent of horticultural growing media in professional use. However, use of peat in horticultural growing media results in greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss due to excavation of natural peatlands. Biochar is gaining attention as a sustainable alternative to peat use in horticulture. This study examined the potential of biochar produced […]
