Biochar Beyond Agriculture – Innovations (Book pdf)

Description

For decades, biochar has been framed almost exclusively as a soil amendment — a tool for farmers seeking healthier land and better yields. Yet this narrow view overlooks its far greater potential. Biochar is, at its core, a stable form of carbon with unique physical and chemical properties: porous, absorbent, durable, and endlessly adaptable. This book moves beyond the field and into the built world — roads, toilets, buildings, water systems, health products, and beyond — to reveal biochar as a versatile material for infrastructure and innovation. Each use case doubles as a carbon sink, turning waste biomass into lasting value and livelihood opportunity.
