Biochar Technology Rapidly Evolving

Science never holds still and the science of biochar isn’t any different.  There has been a great deal of publicity in recent months over biochar’s potential to act as a powerful new weapon in the fight against climate change.  New pyrolysis kilns being produced througout the world are capable of processing decomposing organic waste streams and transforming their decaying carbon into new organic fertilisers.  These new fertililisers inject the carbon back into the ground where it can safely stay sequestered away for thousands of years.  In addition to reducing global CO2 levels new cutting edge biochar formulations greatly enhance plant growth and crop yields.

Until recently carbon sequestration has been the main focus of biochar advocates.  In truth, the high application rates neccessary to mimic the results of chemical fertilisers were too high to be economically feasable for most farmers.  Biochar research at places like The NSW Department of Primary Industries indicated that farmers would need to use approxamately 20 tonnes per hectare to achieve the dramatic results that have shown up as hightlights in press clippings.  Those days are quickly coming to an end.

New pyrolysis kilns and scientists’ increasing understanding of how biochar interacts with the soil are leading to dramatic new developments in the ever evolving world of biochar.  New biochar formulations are more effective than ever with some experts predicting that we’ll see biochar on a broad acre commercial scale as early as next year.  Retail products for home gardeners are already being prepaired with a new product from Don Burke scheduled to begin hitting store shelves in coming months.

One thing is certain, consumers are ever more willing to vote with their wallets.  Companies like Don Burke’s Biochar and Agrichar Limited are answering the call for innovative new products that empower consumers to seriously alter their carbon footprints.  Biochar is the first product that provides users with the ability to quanitfy the amount of carbon they are removing from the carbon cycle.  In addition to feeling good about what they’re doing these home gardeners will be able to take advantage of healthier food grown in an environment where they have control of the chemicals entering their food.
