Carnarvon Energy : Balance between ESG and core business – MarketScreener
An intimate event was recently held in Subiaco, featuring some of Western Australia’s most strategic investors and senior resource industry leaders.
The purpose was to come together for a robust and thought-provoking conversation about the push into the world of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG).
Importantly, the focus was to look at how industry continues to take leadership on this front, exploring new technologies and approaches, while still maintaining a balance of delivering on core business.
And it’s the latter that was of most interest – how is industry making tangible change while also keeping a firm hand on delivering core business and conventional energy projects?
The event was organised by media and investor relations firm Spoke Corporate in partnership with Pragma Lawyers, and front and centre driving that conversation was Carnarvon Energy’s Chief Executive Officer Adrian Cook.
Adrian delivered a keynote presentation at the forum outlining the Company’s conventional oil and gas strategy, as well as its renewable fuels business, FutureEnergy Australia (FEA).
With the International Energy Agency forecasting oil demand to continue to rise in the near-term, investment in oil and gas developments, such as Carnarvon’s Dorado development offshore Western Australia, will be critical to meeting rising energy needs.
However, alternative fuels are also required to lower emissions, while still meeting the world’s energy demands.
As Adrian explained, Carnarvon launched FEA last year, in partnership with Frontier Impact Group, with the goal of building Australia’s first commercial-scale renewable diesel facility.
The initial plant being proposed near the town of Narrogin in Western Australia will produce 18 million litres per annum of renewable diesel per annum.
Renewable diesel is a drop-in replacement to fossil diesel, meaning it can deliver immediate emissions reductions, without the need to modify existing fleets or equipment.
The technology FEA would be using can also produce sustainable aviation fuel, a high demand product that will help lower emissions from the global aviation industry.
The Narrogin project will also support the development of a sustainable, circular economy, which can help regenerate WA’s Wheatbelt region and drive economic activity across the value chain.
The facility will produce 8,000 tonnes of biochar per annum, which can be used for carbon sequestration, and has numerous benefits to the agricultural sector, increasing soil fertility and productivity in marginal soils. It can also be used as a feed additive for livestock to reduce methane emissions.
The project will also produce about 6.5 million litres of wood vinegar per annum, which can be used in agriculture as a pesticide, seed germinator, growth enhancer and fungicide.
Carnarvon’s overall vision is to be involved in the development of more than 500 million litres per annum of renewable fuel production capacity by the end of the decade.
The carbon credits generated by Carnarvon’s renewables business will also allow the Company to offset emissions from its traditional oil and gas business.
Carnarvon is committed to further growing its ESG initiatives as part of its commitment to reach net zero emissions across its operations by 2050 or earlier, with the company also exploring other avenues to help further accelerate the energy transition.
Adrian closed out his presentation by noting: “There has never been a more dynamic, exciting, but risky period for energy providers and consumers.”

OTTAWA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Invert Inc. (“Invert” or “the Company”), a specialized carbon reduction and offsetting company focused on making carbon credits accessible to individuals, is proud to congratulate Matt Delaney, the Company’s Head of Carbon Forestry, for his contributions to developing the recently published Verra Biochar Methodology. The methodology, published by Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard Program, paves the way for new nature-based approaches to carbon removal, specifically biochar utilization in soil and other applications.
Biochar is a solid and stabilized carbon material formed by the thermochemical processing of biomass in an oxygen limited environment. When used as a soil amendment, biochar can help retain nutrients and water. The carbon in biochar is resistant to decomposition and can persist in soils for hundreds of years. Biochar was among the IPCC’s short-list of Negative Emission Technologies (NETs) that could provide a significant sequestration impact, with the potential to mitigate over a billion tonnes of CO2 per year by 2050.
The Biochar Methodology was developed by a consortium of experts from the biochar and carbon removal industry, including Invert’s internal subject matter expert and Head of Carbon Forestry, Matt Delaney. Matt collaborated with a team of experts to develop the methodology including FORLIANCE, South Pole and Biochar Works. The new methodology outlines how net emissions removals are calculated from biochar production and application. The methodology is comprehensive in that the carbon accounting boundary extends from sourcing the waste biomass, making biochar, to its final use (in soil or approved non-soil applications).
“Matt is an incredible asset to the Invert team, with over 20 years of experience in forest carbon methodology development, his knowledge and experience are invaluable not only to Invert, but to the global fight against climate change,” said Andre Fernandez, Co-CEO, Invert Inc. “We applaud his thought leadership in co-developing the recent biochar methodology and look forward to many more success stories as we continue to advance our carbon reduction investments and software platform.”
Matt has been part of the successful implementation of carbon projects on over two million acres of land, and is the co-author of an Improved Forest Management (“IFM”) methodology under the American Carbon Registry.
In addition to developing new carbon methodologies, as part of his role as Head of Carbon Forestry at Invert, Matt evaluates and completes due diligence on forest carbon project opportunities including IFM, REDD+, and reforestation projects globally. He also identifies new opportunities in the carbon offset and removal sector.
Verra will hold two webinars to launch the biochar methodology on Sep. 9 and 20.

Verra releases methodology for quantifying emission reductions from biochar production
Verra has approved the much-anticipated methodology for quantifying emission reductions from the production of biochar and its use in soils and other emerging applications.
The new methodology in Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program, the world’s leading greenhouse gas (GHG) crediting program, will broaden the available portfolio of nature-based approaches to carbon removal. If deployed on a massive global scale, biochar offers a high potential to combat climate change as a near-term large-scale carbon dioxide removal technology, delivering a mitigation potential of at least 1 billion tonnes of CO2 per year by 2050.
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid material that is created from biomass which is subjected to high heat and limited-oxygen environments. A substantial amount of biochar’s organic carbon will persist in soil and non-soil applications for centuries to millennia.
Biochar offers a range of agricultural benefits when used as a soil amendment, including enhanced nutrient and water retention, aeration, drainage, and microbial activity, which can all help increase crop yields and enhance soil health, especially in degraded agricultural soils. There are also numerous emerging non-soil end uses that show promise as low-emissions industrial products such as in the concrete and asphalt industries and in building materials.
“This new methodology will catalyze biochar producers’ access to carbon finance and help the budding biochar industry continue globally, enabling biochar to serve as a meaningful carbon sink,” said David Antonioli, CEO of Verra.
An external consortium with expertise covering the biochar industry, voluntary carbon markets, and methodology development that includes FORLIANCE, South Pole, Biochar Works, and Delaney Forestry Services collaborated on this new methodology.

Global firm Allens has advised ASX-listed Kiland Limited on its partnership with Biocare Projects, under which, subject to the successful outcome of in-field trials, 4.5 million tonnes of fire-damaged timber will be converted into approximately 900,000 tonnes of biochar.
Firm: Allens (Kiland)
Deal: Kiland has entered into a partnership with Biocare Projects to convert 4.5 million tonnes of fire-damaged timber into biochar.
Value: N/A
Area: Corporate
Key players: The team was led by managing associate Michael Hogan, with support from partner Charles Ashton and senior associate Elise Blume in the merger and acquisition team. Along with senior associate Tim Leschke on the projects team.
Deal Significance: Kiland’s timber plantations on Kangaroo Island sustained significant damage during the devastating bushfires of 2019–2020.
The project is expected to be the world’s largest biochar project, with anticipated carbon removal equivalent to the annual emissions from 390,000 conventional automobiles.
Biochar is a stable form of carbon that is considered a permanent store.
The project will take place over the next six to 10 years and will potentially produce 1.8 million carbon removal certificates.
“We congratulate Kiland on this innovative and world-leading carbon removal project,” said Mr Hogan.
“The project is a win, win.
“It will allow Kiland to offset costs associated with its biomass removal and land development activities on Kangaroo Island in a manner that delivers improved environmental outcome.”
“We are pleased to continue to support Kiland through its major corporate transactions.
“Including an-off market buyback last year, an accelerated non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer earlier this year to support its agricultural reversion strategy, and negotiation of a property management agreement with AAGIM Investment Management,” said Mr Ashton.
Kiland is undergoing the process of removing tree crops to convert the land to more traditional agricultural use.

Two signs express differing opinions on the Saratoga Biochar fertilizer plant set to be constructed at Moreau Industrial Park in Moreau, N.Y.

MOREAU, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Last week, the town of Moreau made a decision on a proposed fertilizer plant that has sparked no shortage of pushback from town residents. Now, it’s official: Saratoga Biochar is on its way.
On Thursday, Aug. 25, the Moreau Town Planning Board gave site plan approval to Northeastern Biochar Solutions, a company looking to build its first plant at Moreau Industrial Park, becoming its second tenant. The company’s process uses biosolids from wastewater treatment plants to create fertilizer, in a process that the company and the town have both hailed for its reportedly low environmental impact.
“While the Town Board plays no role in Planning Board activities and must respect the decision of the Planning Board, I would like to commend the Planning Board for their exceptionally thorough review of this particular project,” said Moreau Town Supervisor Todd Kusnierz on Thursday. “Although I have not yet seen the conditioned approval, I know that members carefully considered key areas of concern voiced by residents at the public hearing and made their decision within the confines of local, state, and federal regulations.”
Since its proposal, the plant has recieved pushback from residents who say that more research needs to be done on biochar, which puts biosolids through heat processes that release PFOAs and other toxins, which are then contained and burnbed. The biosolids would be brought in on large trucks, potentially over a dozen per day. Northeastern Biochar has submitted plans detailing how its facility handles those materials – but at a July Planning Board meeting, board member Ann Purdue brought up inconsistencies in submitted plans dating back to 2021.
That meeting led to the board calling a delay on a final decision regarding the biochar plant, in order to review details that had not yet been examined. Purdue pushed for the decision, saying that much within the hundreds of pages of provided documents had failed to fall under much scrutiny. The board member found that especially concerning, considering that the Saratoga Biochar plant would be the company’s first foray into business.
Forty-five days later, the biochar plan’s approval comes with some requirements. Northeastern Biochar must present the town with proof of a NYSDEC Solid Waste Management Facility Permit and Air State Facility Permit before construction can begin. The town also imposed rules regarding noise, with noise testing required at property boundaries – answering another common concern by community members.
One more requirement has to do with odor. The company’s proposed facility would bring the solid waste leftover from wastewater treatment in, and pour it through an enclosed system not intended to let any materials escape outside of its own closed loop. That’s nice to say, but better to ensure, a determination emphasized by the town by requirements stating that all material must remain within the building, with air handled under negative pressure.
The trucks that would carry the biosolids used by the plant would travel a road that has its fair share of houses along it. Moreau Industrial Park has been zoned since the 1990s, but with only one business operating there in all that time – Hexion, an adhesive manufacturer – many residents are worried about a sudden uptick in industrial-scale traffic.
The town has required Saratoga Biochar to only operate truck traffic 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays. It is also requiring that the trucks be timed so as to avoid backups on roads, either public or in the industrial park itself. The company is limited to 50 trucks per day – well above the 20 or so per day that the company expects.
Northeastern Biochar co-founder Bryce Meeker said that the company has no issue complying with whatever requirements are thrown at it. The company has agreed to pollution control requiremenets laid out by the New York Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. In the months leading up to now, the company has volunteered to the monitoring and regulation procedures the town and state are putting in place with regards to PFOA emissions. Meeker says agreeing to those procedures is all part of acknowledging where companies have gone wrong in the past.
“Our business will establish many new benchmarks for the biosolids industry, but also for climate change entrepreneurs in general. We cannot forget the atrocities many communities have been exposed to in the past, particularly in states like New York where industrialization first took hold. It is our duty, as climate change entrepreneurs, to adhere to all environmental requirements simply to demonstrate our commitment to human health and the environment. It is also our duty to look ahead and ensure we can adhere to new regulations on the horizon in a timely manner,” Meeker said.
While the plan was approved last week, a crowd of Moreau citizens stood outside the municipal complex, holding signs. Some held more specific messages, but all met with a single declaration: “Not Moreau.”
That phrase is echoed as the name of a Facebook page for residents who feel the plant is a bad fit for the town – and who still worry about the impact on traffic, and the environment. On Wednesday, nearly a week after the town said OK to Biochar, the Facebook page continued saying “no way,” encouraging individual citizens to write to elected officials demanding change. Although the decision lies with the Planning Board, some residents point to Kusnierz himself as the bearer of responsibility for decisions that do not reflect the community at large.
“When faced with overwhelming opposition from concerned citizens, (Kusnierz) trots out his town Planning Board to review the project and face the opposition’s ire,” said Moreau resident and “Not Moreau” member Tom Dominic. “I doubt there is anyone on the Planning Board who even heard of the ‘pyrolysis’ process, yet were stuck using the developer’s documents, which are full of his own ‘puffery,’ to reach a decision.”
Community members are now turning to other voices. Dominic said he has reached out to departments at Union College, RPI and UAlbany hoping to get more voices involved on what biochar means for the community. Dominic hasn’t recieved a response as of Thursday.
Meanwhile, Saratoga Biochar hopes to break ground on its first phase of construction this fall, to be finished sometime in 2023. Should all go according to plan, operations are expected to start in 2024. When they do, the faces of the company know they will likely still face some who would rather see them take their biosolids elsewhere – and it’s not just Not Moreau.
“It is a shame that our application has become politicized,” said Meeker. “At the outset, we assumed many of the environmental organizations, such as Clean Air Action Network, would favor the science behind our eco-friendly solution. However, even after discussing our project at depth with CAAN, and having their scientific advisor, David Walker, Ph.D. and Professor Emeritus of Columbia University agree that we are taking the right approach, we still find CAAN remaining in complete opposition, uncompelled by the science.”

027 | 100 Johanna Johnson Biochar from human waste – 100 Climate Conversations
Johanna Johnson is a former chemist and water management expert who leads sustainable projects at Logan City Council in Queensland, which has pioneered an Australian-first water treatment facility. The Loganholme Wastewater Treatment Plant now uses a gasification process to transform 34,000 tonnes of biosolids (treated and partially dewatered sewage sludge) annually into biochar, a form of sequestered carbon. After a successful trial in 2020, Logan Water is constructing a permanent biosolids gasification facility which will be operational by mid-2022. This will save Logan Water and the community around $500,000 a year in the cost of managing biosolids.
Polymath Nate Byrne is a meteorologist, oceanographer, science communicator and former navy officer, but is perhaps most well-known for his high energy ABC News Breakfast weather broadcasts. From briefing senior military officers and hosting children’s science shows, to presenting the nation’s weather in times of emergency and calm, Byrne understands the importance of engaging and climate-focused communications. He helped launch the University of Melbourne Climate Futures program and maintains a close eye on developing climate stories. While weather is his speciality, Byrne is driven to share narratives about the world and the role of climate change in shaping our future.
Logan City Council in Queensland is transforming human waste into biochar, a process which sequesters carbon, destroys microplastics and saves the community money. Johanna Johnson spearheads the Australian-first project, which will help the Council meet its target of carbon neutral operations in 2022.
We’re basically reducing our carbon content and putting it back into that biochar rather than into the atmosphere.

Welcome to 100 Climate Conversations and thank you so much for joining us. The series presents 100 visionary Australians that are taking positive action to respond to the most critical issue of our time, climate change. We’re recording live today in the Boiler Hall of the Powerhouse museum. Now, before it was home to the museum, it was the Ultimo Power Station. Built in 1899, it supplied coal powered electricity to Sydney’s tram system right into the 1960s. In the context of this architectural artefact, we shift our focus away from coal powered stuff forward to the innovations of the net zero revolution.
I’d like to start by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the ancestral homelands upon which we meet today, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. We respect their Elders past and present, and recognise their continuous connection to Country, never ceded. My name is Nate Byrne and I’m thrilled to be hosting 100 Climate Conversations throughout the Sydney Science Festival. The lovely person sitting next to me is Johanna Johnson, who is a former chemist, and the current Sustainable Solutions Llead at Logan Water in Queensland, who is leading a Wworld Ffirst water treatment process, turning human waste into energy and agricultural products. We are so thrilled to have her joining us today. Please help me welcome Johanna.
Jo, I can’t imagine many kids who would say to their mum, ‘I really want to fix dirty water.’ What did you want to be when you grew up?
I suppose when I was in high school, I was more around the histories and the sciences, loved it. But I was aiming to be a pharmacist.
What led you to that?
I love the chemistry and that’s really where it was at, finding and curious about different things and the whole idea of, I suppose, looking at different types of drugs and the research out of it. Loved it. Yeah, I did three years of pharmacy and then realised I absolutely loved the water industry.
So where in the pharmacy side of things did the water kind of come in?
So, I started off in the Logan Water Lab just as doing some research around things like drugs and pharmaceuticals that were going into sewage treatment plants, realised I really loved the water industry and switched careers. So, it was really looking at I suppose then things like emerging contaminants of concern were things that I absolutely loved learning about and looking at ways to fix it.
So, we’ve been treating water for a long time. How do we fix those contaminants, in the traditional way?
All of our sewage goes into wastewater treatment plants. Those wastewater treatment plants have oxidation processes and it’s really looking at those microbes dealing with I suppose the sludge portion of it, as well as the water side of it as well. So, it goes through chlorination, dechlorination, all those types of things to basically treat so that you have a solid stream, which is your biosolids, and then you have your water stream, which is, would then be, either environmental flow into the river, but that’s after significant treatment through our wastewater treatment plant.
What happens with the solid stuff?
So traditionally, most sewage treatment plants either have things like centrifuges. It goes into a filter press which squidgies the solids and gets it to only about 86 per cent water, 14 per cent dryies, is what we classify it as. So, that biosolids is basically treated so that it’s, we’re transporting water when we’re transporting biosolids, and then that will be disposed of at land.
So landfill, essentially?
So, it can go to landfill. and At Loganholme it goes to agricultural land and the Darling Downs, so about 300 kilometres away.
Okay. So, it’s already useful for agriculture?
Yes. But in a wastewater treatment plant process, it’s costing around 1.8 million arising just – and that’s for a medium-sized wastewater treatment plant – to dispose of that and it’s about 30 per cent of our operating costs.
And most of what you’re transporting is just water. Why don’t you recover more of that water before it’s sent out?
So, the issue with recovering water is the more you recover, the more energy intensive it is. So, lots of places will have belt filter presses or centrifuge and the centrifuge will get it to about maybe 22, 23 per cent dry. But the more water you take out, the more energy intensive it is, and it just, it’s not cost benefit or it’s actually worse for the environment.
What are the downsides of the way that we are traditionally treating our sewage?
There’s still things of concern that are in our sewage sludge. So, when we’re analysing the Loganholme treatment plant, we found glitter poop, so.
Oh, well, okay, okay, what on Eearth is glitter poop?
So, basically things like microplastics and glitter will go through a sewage treatment plant and end up in your solid streams. So basically, enmeshed in your biosolids is things that are microplastics. So, you get them from activewear, when you’re washing activewear, it goes into your sewage pipes. Things like glitter from cosmetics and all that type of stuff all ends up in biosolids.
So, those microplastics that they’re, that’s something you can’t remove in the process?
We’re actually consuming, and we wouldn’t even know it, about a credit card a month of plastic.
– Johanna Johnson
No. So, not just from biosolids, but we’re actually consuming, and we wouldn’t even know it, about a credit card a month in plastics. Yes.
Let’s, let’s walk back on that a second. Consuming a credit card’s worth a month.
So Teflon and all those types of things using plastic utensils, plastic plates, all of that. Some of them will be actually going into you rather than staying on the plate., eEven in the UK, you’re seeing them going into the terrestrial systems and things like meat products and all those types of things there will be forms of I suppose microplastics and that as well, so that’s how we’re consuming them as well.
So, that’s a bit about traditional ways of dealing with things. You’re not satisfied with that at Logan City. So, tell me, what have you done and what is it that you are doing differently?
We’re kind of looking at the whole of processes and we’re looking at all of our waste streams and what we can do to make products or go back into that circular economy kind of side of it. But right now, we’ve just commissioned the first of its kind gasification facility. What that is, is instead of having our belt filter press and dealing with and making biosolids, we’re going through a gasifier and there’s lots of things up into the gasifier, gasifier and making biochar. To go through the gasifier though, we need to get to 90 per cent dry, so that was always the issue with biosolids. How do we make it dry enough to go through something like this process and without causing, I suppose, environmental harm.
How we’re doing that is going through centrifuges and it’s getting 23 per cent dry and then it’s going through a dryer, and this dryer is 18 metres long and two belts and that gets it to 90 per cent dry. The 90 per cent dry biosolids will then go to the gasifier. The reason we can do this process is a gasifier produces a biogas, and that biogas is then transferred as heat energy back to the dryers to dry the biosolids. So, we’re taking out that loop of natural gas that would have been traditionally used for these dryers and creating our own, so that own renewable energy and that really cuts down A: the costs, but also, I suppose, the use of natural gas as well.
What is biochar?
Brought some with me, this is biochar.
That’s formerly poo?
Yes, this is biochar made from pure biosolids. If I open this up and it was biosolids, everyone in this theater would be running away because the smell and just the –, you wouldn’t want to open this jar. Whereas, yes, I can open this jar and move it around and you wouldn’t even know that it was biosolids.
Can I have a look?
We’ve just commissioned the first of its kind gasification facility.
– Johanna Johnson
Yes, you can.
Oh, wow. It’s sort of, kind of earthy. It just smells a bit like sort of what you’d get from Bunnings when you have a potting mix.
Yeah.
Can I touch it?
Yeah, go for it.
Does it feel ever so slightly moist?
We have to quench it a little bit after it goes through the gasifier. So, because it’s heated at 650 degrees, we don’t want it to keep charring out, so we quench it. The cool thing about biochar in general is that it holds your water content, and it has, it still keeps your phosphorus and your potassium, so really great for agricultural use, especially in Australia because we’re very arid, you want to keep that water content back in the soil. That’s what biochar does, compared to its traditional biosolids from.
Sweet. Because it’s been heat treated, I assume this is completely safe to touch?
Most definitely. It doesn’t have any of the nasty viruses that you would get in things that you would talk about with biosolids. And it’s just storing destroying things like your microplastics and PFAS’s and all those chemicals that you’d get through emerging contaminants.
PFAS for the uninitiated?
We’re taking out that loop of natural gas that would have been traditionally used for these dryers and creating our own…renewable energy.
– Johanna Johnson
Perfluoroalkyl substances. So, they’re basically really emerging contaminants of concern, people would know about them from firefighting foam and those sort of things. They stay in and basically, they’re called ‘forever chemicals’ because they just don’t destruct like in a natural way of cycle. So, they’re very nasty product –, very useful, so Scotchgard and all those types of things, you’d find them in that because it’s got hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, which means that basically stain resistant, water resistant, so that’s why people like them for those types of products. [They’re] really bad for human health because they’re persistent organic pollutants. They stay in your body system, they just will not come out and they can have nasty health effects as well. Really hard to destroy in a natural cycle, so gasification actually thermally treats it.
What actually is physically in that biochar?
That’s sequestered carbon. What that means is instead of going, in a normal process if you applied biosolids to land, it mineralises, so that’s methane back into the environment, not the greatest as carbon emissions go. When it goes through a gasifier, it sequesters the carbon, which means it locks it up and it won’t go back in, so it’s fixed carbon content that will stay back into the agricultural soil, which is where you want it.
It has also other great products for the ag sector. So, it’s got potassium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, all the things that you need for plant growth, really high end. So, the agricultural sector is very excited about this, these types of products. And yeah, we’re looking at different, I suppose other ways of using it as well. So activated carbon would be another form that we could possibly use there, so we’re looking at that. What this could be used in? oOdor, so odor control, lots of filters would have and we use it in our wastewater treatment plants. So, it’s another way of, I suppose, coming back to that circular economy of using it ourselves as well as looking at the wider market as well.
So you end up, at the end of the day, if you’re sending this out somewhere, those microplastics no longer an issue?
So, in our demonstration plan and we’re just proving this out at the moment, was a 64 per cent reduction, but it doesn’t go back into the terrestrial cycle, so it stays in the carbon, so it doesn’t go back into the basic agricultural system. Whereas and PFAS is, you would find PFAS in biosolids in low concentrations, it’s non-detectable in biochar.
So, we end up, you’ve heated up this dried solid mass, you’re ending up with biochar and the rest that’s coming off. What is that?
So that’s it goes through your oxidiser first, that’s set at 850 degrees. So, that deals with all of your volatile compounds and PFAS and all those types of things. It then goes through a wet scrubber which takes out your SOx, your NOx, so sulfurs and your nitrous oxides and all those sorts types of things are dealt with in the wet scrubber and particulates, because we don’t want particulates going back into the atmosphere either. aAnd then it goes to a wet ESP, which is an electrostatic precipitator. It has a rainfall basically, in this massive tank shot with electricity and what we call cations and anions basically drop your particulates to the ground. And so, then that goes back and all of this, these waste products, are recycled back into the wastewater treatment plant and goes back through their process, so that we’re not putting them through the stack that goes into the environment.
What goes through the stack at the end is highly controlled because we’re on what is an environmental authority, at the wastewater treatment plant, so we have guidelines that we can’t go over. So, we monitor things like carbon monoxide, oxygen, your nitrous oxides, your SOx and those types of things through an emissions control system, so we know exactly what’s coming through the stack. How that works is that we’re basically reducing our carbon content and putting it back into that biochar rather than into the atmosphere.
So, we’re ending up with this really, really interesting and useful substance, biochar and you’re saying, there’s zinc and phosphorus and all of that. Does what you’re putting in radically affect what you’re getting out at the end?
When we’re talking about our traditional process of biosolids, that was about 34,000 tons of biosolids that was produced. And again, most of that is water that we’re transporting. Biochar it’s about 3000 tons. So, it significantly reduces the volume that we produce. And it also then goes through and is able to be applied to land so we’vre got less truck movements, less, a better, its higher carbon content, it doesn’t have any of the chemicals that we would have been worried about being applied long term to land. So, all of that is incorporated and then biochar.
So a big part of the process here is you’re sequestering that carbon. Where would it have otherwise gone?
Into the atmosphere. So, all up, the carbon that’s sequestered is around 6000 tons per annum, for our wastewater treatment plant. If this was on scale, every wastewater treatment plant, that would be a humungous number because we’re only dealing with about 45 megalitres per day of sewage. But there is quite a significant amount of wastewater treatment plants that we have and if that was on the scale, it would be an astronomical amount.
Is this I meansomething, could you take one of the major city centres, highly, densely populated places, and still treat their sewage in the same way?
Massively so, because it’s great for scale. So, you’re creating all of your internal energy, all that type of stuff. Biosolids management in general does need to have quite a lot of land space. So, all of our sewage treatment plants do have the land, that land capability., pPlus you’re reducing your volumes off of truck movements and all that kind of side of it. And so yes, we’ve actually been talking to a lot of the water utilities, every week we’re having visitors come through from other water utilities to look at how they can actually implement into their biosolids management strategy because the risks are there and just going to be increasing with fuel costs and all those types of things.
So, who is it that wants to get their hands on this biochar? So, you said it’s good for agriculture. I’m assuming we’re just like sprinkling it on fields, sort of thing. Who else, though, is keen on it?
So, we have had lots of interest from composters, concreting, brick manufacturing, all those types of things that would need like an ash. What this does is that sequestered carbon is needed, and it would significantly reduce concrete and bricks and those high- intensive carbon products to be low carbon and really, really great for the environment. So, even things like bitumen and roads, you could use it on that. We’re sort of investigating at the moment, it’s so new, we had to do a lot of testing to make sure this is safe and applicable. So, we’re also looking at things like activated carbon with universities as well. But yes, agriculturals, the way that we’re looking at going, because it fits under what we call the end-of-waste code for biosolids. So, we’re highly regulated and so there’s certain things that we can use it for. So, agriculture is the easiest and we’re looking at setting up an end-of-waste code for biochar in Queensland, which will then open up the market so that other areas can start using the product.
All right. You’ve mentioned the market there. Is this a money maker?
Well, we pay at the moment for disposing of our biosolids. We’re looking at actually getting revenue back for the sale of our biochar. So, it’s definitely changing the way we’re viewing waste streams within our wastewater treatment plants. They really shouldn’t be named wastewater treatment plants, they should be looked at as resource recovery and really going at all of our waste streams, how we make products out of that and really achieve a circular economy.
I imagine that when you first say to council, to government, people probably are a little bit resistant. Did you find that to be the case?
They really shouldn’t be named wastewater treatment plants. They should be looked at as resource recovery.
– Johanna Johnson
Logan City Council is probably ahead of the curve in that regard. We’ve got to be carbon neutral by the end of the year, as a council. So, that includes all the wastewater treatment plants, landfill all that. And so that’s been a key driver for the past five years, end of this year we will be carbon neutral. So, a lot of these projects we’ve actually been able to get a leg up because we’re saying, ‘We’re going to be reducing our carbon and we’re looking at truck movements, we’re looking at all these types of things.’ Moving into renewables and looking at the waste streams is encouraged because we can see that as a community, we’re going to be significantly impacted by things like urban heat development, all that type of stuff. If we don’t do something now, we’re going to be dealing the consequences later. And that’s just not acceptable.
How long does it take to recover the initial input costs? But you’re potentially able to, I guess, sell this biochar? Is this something that’s like a no-brainer investment?
We were able to get a significant grant opportunity for the original project from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, so 6.23 million because we are a council, we are a water industry, very risk adverse when it comes to these types of things. But on a business case, when you’re looking at the rising costs, we were paying 1.8 million per year minimum, that would actually be rising this year to about 2.2. We’re going from 2.2 down to about 500,000 just in operational costs. So, it is actually a cost benefit and if we sell, that’s even greater. So, we’re actually looking at having a revenue stream rather than costing us 500,000. What that means is, yes, it is cost benefit for all, for utilities to go down this process and I suppose all of the water utilities are looking at us to see where we hit, so that they can follow suit and bring up the business cases.
How close are you to being carbon neutral now?
So, these types of projects, so this gasification does about 6000 tons per annum, but that will only increase because we’re looking at diverting all of our wastewater treatment plants to Loganholme to go through the process. We’ve put in solar farms, so about 1.1 megawatts of solar is currently at the treatment plant and we’re looking at how to actually increase that so that it’s off the grid. So, when you’re looking at energy for the waste side of it, we’re about 40 per cent of the energy usage for the whole council. So, we’re looking at things of increasing solar as well, so that basically we can be our own renewable energy kind of factor. All up we will be hopefully implementing and we’re doing feasibility studies of different waste streams, so things like hydrogen, solar, you name it, we’re looking at it, so that we can be basically self-sufficient.
Is there a future where you’re carbon negative?
Most definitely. Because that’s the only way to really look at this. If we’ve got all these products, if we don’t go, if we do the circular economy and circular economy right, we should be carbon negative.
How long between now and that future where you might be fighting climate change not only, not contributing, but helping to pull back from the climate crisis?
I would hope that we are there in the next five to ten years. Purely because there’s a strong push, we will be carbon neutral by the end of the year. How do we get there for the future? The only way forward is to look at innovation and look at where technology is going.
Is there something special about Logan or is this exportable? Can this go anywhere? And who else in the world is already doing this kind of stuff?
So, this gasification process, we think is probably the first of its kind on purely biosolids. But yes, it’s totally exportable. We have been getting massive interest from overseas. We we’re just up for an international award at the International Water Association because it’s so innovative and they’re really trying to push the targets out there.
So, things like the UK and Europe in general, they’ve got very strict carbon emissions kind of guidelines, so when they’re seeing somewhere like Logan and it’s quite a small council saying, ‘We have actually got a solution for biosolids management, it does take notice. We’ll be having delegates from all over the world coming, so I think we’re looking at groups coming from Indonesia, so you name it there’re lots of people looking at it and we are supplying that information and very open with information as to how we can achieve biosolids management.
Does this have to apply to water waste sewage stuff? Could it also be used to help other waste streams where you don’t maybe have to remove the water first?
Most definitely. So, things like FOGO, so Food Organics, Green Organics, we’re sort of looking at that at the moment and where that would sit because again, that’s a massive component of what we put into landfill, right? aAnd as a council we do have landfill. So, we’re looking at, when I’m saying, we’re looking at waste streams for all of Logan water and wastewater treatment plants that’s actually broadened out. So, things like FOGO would be amazing if we could do that, it still has a high-water content though. So, all of our food has water content in it. So, how do we deal with that will be the crux of the problem. So, can we deal with it like we do with biosolids? Most definitely could.
So, it’s things like – and I get all science and nerdy and talk about calorific value, which is what I love. So, biosolids have a really high calorific value because it’s the same as what we would classify brown coal. Food organics doesn’t have as high a calorific value, so we might have to be supplementing or mixing it with different waste streams to produce the right blend because at the moment, the data that we’re getting back is around 14 megajoules per kilogram. To give context, our biosolids is around 17 to 18, if not 19, so how do we get that so that the heat balance is right, and we can implement the same sort of process? I mean, that would be absolutely amazing if we could, and I think it can be done. But that’s a type of I suppose feasibility and things that we have to look at for future to say, yes, we have this one waste stream but how can we look at that different?
So, there’s a possibility here, in a perfect world where you’re taking several waste streams, mixing up your perfect recipes and creating, not only biochar, but perhaps, is there a world where biogas could be drawn off and used beyond just the treatment plant itself? Is biogas a useful product outside of the waste treatment?
I’m hoping that we have our wastewater treatments plants that are totally circular economy principles, so producing its own energy, having sustainable products and really supporting our community.
– Johanna Johnson
So, when we were talking about wastewater treatment plants, there’s already a process that we use as anaerobic digestion. We don’t have any in Logan, but that takes out and produces electrical energy, already. The reason we wouldn’t do this with gasification is because it lowers your calorific value of your biosolids. So, then you wouldn’t be able to get the heat energy put back, but you are still producing energy from the source. We could, in theory, mix the different processes and we’re not necessarily saying gasification is the only way to go.
There are multiple ways of dealing of this, it’s just looking at which is the appropriate technology for our wastewater treatment plants, for our landfill, for all those types of things, and saying, ‘The technology is there’, but we just need to figure out what the one is going to be, I suppose, able to deal with the issues and have a sustainable product at the end too, because you don’t want to be dealing with a mountain of biochar that you can’t get rid of or that type of stuff. I suppose it’s looking at it from a holistic perspective as well.
I’m so blown away by this. As it stands right now, what does the future look like for you?
I’m hoping that we have our wastewater treatment plants that are totally circular economy principles, so producing its own energy, having sustainable products and really supporting our community.

A techno-economic analysis of biochar production and the bioeconomy for orchard biomass.
It is well established that the global practice of burning crop residues, such as orchard biomass, harms human health and the environment. A bioeconomy for orchard biomass may reduce open burning, facilitate the recovery of nutrients that improve soil health, and boost economic growth. We present a techno-economic analysis for converting orchard waste into biochar, a charcoal-like substance that shows promise for improving soil health, but that is considered an experimental product with emerging efficacy and limited market demand. We impute values derived from a cost analysis of biochar production in California’s Central Valley into a regional economic input-output model to demonstrate economic growth and a bioeconomy for biochar made with orchard waste. Results from a stochastic Monte Carlo simulation show a probable range of biochar production costs between $448.78 and $1,846.96 (USD) Mg-1, with 90% probability that costs will range between $571 and $1,455 Mg-1. A sensitivity analysis shows that production costs are most responsive to biochar production rates. A modifiable Excel-based biochar enterprise budget that includes fixed and variable biochar production costs is provided as Supplementary Material. The regional economic analysis demonstrates positive economic growth as defined by job creation, labor compensation, value-added product, and gross output. Stochastic cost estimates and net positive regional economic impacts support economic feasibility of a circular bioeconomy for waste orchard biomass when coupled with governmental policy initiatives. Results may contribute to developing a circular bioeconomy for biochar and orchard biomass in the study region and elsewhere in the world.

Verra approves new methodology for biochar offsets
The carbon offset standard setting body and registry Verra has released a new methodology for quantifying emission reductions for biochar. This follows increasing interest and doubts regarding biochar’s durability for carbon sequestration.
The new methodology is part of Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program to broaden the available portfolio of nature-based approaches to carbon removal.
The methodology was developed through an external consortium with expertise covering the biochar industry, voluntary carbon markets, and methodology development including FORLIANCE, South Pole, Biochar Works and Delaney Forestry Services.
Verra believes that if deployed on a massive global scale, biochar offers a high potential to combat climate change as a near-term large-scale carbon removal technology. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), biochar could have a mitigation potential of at least 1 billion tonnes of carbon annually by 2050.
“This new methodology will catalyse biochar producers’ access to carbon finance and help the budding biochar industry continue globally, enabling biochar to serve as a meaningful carbon sink”, explained Verra’s CEO David Antonioli.
Biochar is carbon-rich solid material that is produced when biomass, like agriculture and forestry waste, is put in a high heat and limited-oxygen environment. The results of this process creates a kind of charcoal from the biomass that acts as a carbon sink to stably store carbon for hundreds of years under certain conditions.
When biochar is introduced into soils, it can help restore degraded soils and improve agricultural productivity and the ability for soils to retain water.
However, soils can only hold a finite amount of carbon and there will be a saturation point for introducing biochar into soils as means of carbon sequestration. Additionally, there is a high risk of reversibility as the carbon stored in biochar can be released back into the atmosphere if soils are distrubed. The impacts of climate change could also speed up the decay of soil, which could further aggravate carbon losses from soil.
Currently, biochar projects have high costs and limited funding, which has limited the scaling up of its applications. There have also been concerns in regards to the monitoring and verification of carbon removal through biochar, which Verra’s new methodology aims to address.
The new methodology includes the procedures and factors required to determine the greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits of biochar production and usage, using the IPCC publication on biochar as well as seven other programmes such as the European Biochar Certificate (EBC) as reference materials.
Verra includes a list of eligible feedstocks for biochar production under its methodology, including agricultural waste biomass, forestry and other wood processing, recycling economy, aquaculture plants, animal manure, and high-carbon fly ash.
Since the methodology includes a wide array of biomass materials, including forest residues to animal manures to aquatic plants, the default GHG is considered to be zero, the most conservative assumption. However, a biochar project can provide its own baseline emission factors by applying historical data from a three year period.
In addition to carbon, the methodology also considers fluctuations in nitrogen and methane, and the emissions are defined in units of tonnes of CO2e.
The methodology uses a broad monitoring and accounting framework that captures the GHG impacts across three stages of the biochar value chain: sourcing stage, production stage and application stage. It also includes mechanisms to address permanence of biochar including decay rate and reversal risk from natural and non-natural risks.
To address additionality, the methodology stipulates that the total mass of waste biomass converted to biochar amounts to 5% or loss of the total mass of waste biomass available globally. Projects must pre-determine additionality for different classes of project activities using a positive list, which is represented by the applicability conditions of the methodology and activity penetration.
To improve monitoring of the real world carbon sequestration impacts of biochar, projects must document and prove final application of biochar through sales records, invoices, attestations, and other evidence.
Verra’s new methodology is part of a growing body of efforts to increase international standards and understanding of biochar’s potential for carbon removal in order to make projects more credible and increase financing to scale-up its applications.
In August 2022, one of the methodology collaborators South Pole announced it partnered with carbon credit removal platform Carbonfuture to digitise biochar projects on the new Verified Carbon Standard. Using Carbonfuture’s digital tracking capabilities will help to better transmit monitoring data for the carbon removal of biochar projects when coupled with Verra’s new methodology, according to South Pole.
“The latest VCS methodology is changing the momentum around vital carbon removal solutions like biochar. South Pole will apply this new approved methodology to best-in-class projects to help scale up the adoption of biochar globally”, commented South Pole’s senior manager for biochar and agricultural land management Hannes Etter.
Increasing the application of international standards to assessing the carbon removal potential and monitoring its real world impact will be key to creating more transparency and credibility to related carbon offsets for companies to use as part of their net zero strategies.
“High-quality biochar projects can only be scaled up when they have environmental integrity at their core”, said South Pole’s sustainable standards and methodology manager Chetan Aggarwal.
Aggarwal explained that the new methodology will help provide quality assurance to companies “who are looking to source certified and verified removal credits to support their climate targets”.
While there may still be doubts on the long-term durability for biochar to act as a stable carbon sink, increasing knowledge and standardisation of its carbon removal potential is a step in the right direction to ensure that this potential is properly accounted for as a carbon removal strategy for net zero goals.
Moreau Biochar approved, with restrictions | Glens Falls Chronicle
By Zander Frost, Chronicle Staff Writer
The Moreau Planning Board approved the Saratoga Biochar facility, with stipulations, by a 4-2 vote Thursday night.
John Arnold, Erik Bergman, Meredithe Mathias and Adam Seybolt voted in favor.
Ann Purdue, Esq. and Michael Shaver voted against.
Hundreds of project opponents lined the entryway to the town hall prior to the meeting, carrying “no Biochar” signs.
Security was present. Meeting attendees had to pass through a metal detector and sign in. A Sheriff’s deputy stood in sight behind the Planning Board.
The room was so full some people were stuck on the other side of the metal detector, leaning in to watch.
It triggered very loud, repeated beeps from the detector. Eventually the security officer shrugged and turned it off.
The meeting lasted nearly four hours. By the end, much of the crowd had left.
The meeting opened with Ms. Purdue, vocal critic of Biochar, moving to rescind the SEQR [State Environmental Quality Review] approval of the project.
Ms. Mathias seconded the motion so discussion could be opened.
Acting Chairman Mr. Arnold went point by point through Ms. Purdue’s motion, and said he could not find new information that would cause the board to reconsider its SEQR approval.
Her resolution was voted down 5-1.
Ms. Purdue’s stance throughout was that an independent consultant was needed to evaluate the project.
Discussion moved to proposed approval with a list of contingencies that the board created prior to the meeting.
They read the list aloud and then approved, edited or removed each point.
Conditions included noise levels, pollution, and contingencies if the Department of Environmental Conservation modifies its list of toxic chemicals.
A point of contention was a clause requiring Saratoga Biochar to carry a $1-billion environmental liability policy, in addition to general liability insurance.
Ms. Purdue said that while she is not an insurance expert, she feels this policy is necessary because Biochar’s “operation is this facility here and nothing else. If there is liability…you need to have some kind of financial recourse or recovery.”
She cited the recent Hoosick Falls PFOA pollution judgment as example of a lack of recourse in environmental damage.
Mr. Arnold said Saratoga Biochar had already objected, saying the limit “is an arbitrary, capricious, commercially unavailable and is an impossible condition.” It added, “Perhaps this was a typo.”
A Saratoga Biochar representative later said their policy would be in the “$5-10 million range in liability, but the per occurrence would be $1-2 [million].”
Karla Buettner, Planning Board attorney, said she believed the board did not have the authority to put such requirements on an applicant.
Mr. Arnold said “failure to maintain insurance does not allow the planning board to shut down operations because we can’t do that. That’s not ours.”
The board voted to strike the insurance requirement 5-1.
Ultimately, Biochar’s site plan review was approved by a 4-2 vote.
The remaining Biochar opponents yelled out in frustration. Some said “this is not over” and said they’d bring the continued challenge to the DEC.
Biochar CEO Ray Apy told The Chronicle, “That was a long night. And it was a really tough, tough process for the planning board to get through. And I thought they managed it well.”
He said, “We’re happy that we have this decision, but it doesn’t come without a price. The conditions are tough…but so be it. That’s good, it’s the right thing to do.”
What does he think of the community reaction? Mr. Apy replied, “I wouldn’t categorize it as the community because there’s 17,000 residents in Moreau, and they’re not all here.”

Oil and Gas Extraction are Producing Historic Amount of Wastewater in Texas
Oil and gas extraction in the Permian Basin oil field in West Texas is projected to generate approximately 588 million gallons of wastewater per day in the next 38 years, according to a state-commissioned study group. The estimation is based on the research group’s findings that oil and gas companies in the oil field are producing 3.8 billion barrels of wastewater per year.
The group considers the projected wastewater production amount for the next 15 or 16 years to be three times as much as the oil these entities are generating.
According to Rusty Smith, the executive director of the Texas Produced Water Consortium, the said content is a massive amount of water. Smith told Texas Groundwater Summit in San Antonio on Tuesday, August 30, as cited by Inside Climate News.
The study focused on the Permian Basin since it is the state’s top oil-producing zone. Still, the increasing population has significantly stretched water supplies. Planners forecast a deficit equivalent to 20 billion gallon per year by 2030, according to the Texas Water Development Board.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), wastewater equates to “used water,” which includes substances like human waste, chemicals, oils, soaps, and food scraps. In our homes, this water comes from bathtubs, toilets, showers, sinks, dishwashers, and washing machines. Entities in the business and industrial sectors also contribute to used water that must be cleaned due to contamination.
In natural causes, wastewater could also be a result of storm runoff, which is the water flowing through the streets or mud during a storm. Most people think these runoff waters are clean, yet they contain harmful substances which can harm rivers and lakes, the USGS explains.
With this, the US agency emphasized water should be treated to avoid health and environmental repercussions, mentioning instances that “wastewater treatment” is often confused for “sewage treatment.” This is despite the fact that nature has ways to cope with relatively small amount of water waste and pollution.
However, mother nature has limits when it comes to filtering these waters. It would be overwhelmed if businesses and industries do not treat the billions of gallons of wastewater and sewage when released back to the environment, the USGS adds.
The wastewater crisis in Texas is only the tip of the iceberg. In fact, multiple reports and studies in recent years have shown that the excessive wastewater production is a growing environmental problem, which is expected amid modernization and industrialization.
Global quantification of wastewater production shows that the world is generating 359.4 billion cubic meters each year, according to the Earth System Science Data (ESSD) run by Copernicus.org.
The organization claims this is in line with previous estimates of 380 billion cubic meters worth of produced wastewater in 2020 and 450 billion cubic meters of the same excess used water in 2013 from different studies.

The global biochar market is estimated to garner a revenue of USD 1130.2 Million by the end of 2030 by growing at a CAGR 13.93% over the forecast period, i.e., 2021 – 2030. Moreover, in the year 2020, the market registered a revenue of USD 309.8 Million. The growth of the market can be attributed to growing utilization of biochar in the agricultural sector, backed by the surge in demand for food and fodder worldwide. Globally, the availability of arable land is decreasing, while the population count is increasing significantly. For instance, according to the statistics by the World Bank, arable land around the world decreased from 0.221 hectares per person in the year 2000 to 0.184 hectares per person in the year 2018. Moreover, the statistics also stated that the population globally increased from 6.114 Billion to 7.602 Billion during the same period. Owing to such a factor, there is a growing need amongst the farmers to increase the production of their crops, which in turn is driving the need for different types of fertilizers. Biochar increases the water and nutrient holding capacity of the soil and also aids in crop nutrition and its growth. The biochar production process includes heating of the biomass in partial or total absence of oxygen. Besides this, the numerous benefits of biochar, such as improving soil texture, porosity, density, and structure of soil, and odor controlling properties are also anticipated to boost the market growth in the coming years.

This study investigated the mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic fermentation of rape straw with biochar addition. The effects of biochar on the biogas yield, degradation of lignocellulose, bacterial community, and crystallinity were explored. The results showed that the biogas yield and methane content increased as the biochar concentration was increased. The biochar concentration of 5.0% resulted in a high biogas yield in mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic digestion at 142.2 mL/g and 193.5 mL/g, respectively, which were 40.5% and 21.0% improvements compared with the control. The corresponding methane contents were 59.4% and 57.0%, respectively. For the lignocellulose degradation, the cellulose content in the mesophilic AD decreased from 54.0% in the pretreated rape straw to between 18.7% and 25.0%. The microbial community results showed that as the biochar concentration was increased, the relative abundance of Firmicutes initially increased before it decreased. Among the microbial community results, the relative abundances of Firmicutes and Bacteroides in the biogas residue of the mesophilic anaerobic digestion were the highest in the biogas residue with the 5.0% biochar concentration sample in the mesophilic AD, at 27.06% and 39.20%, respectively. This result revealed the mechanism of biochar to improve the biogas production of rape straw in anaerobic fermentation.
Most wood properties are affected by changes in moisture content below the wood fiber saturation point. In this study, the thickness swelling ratios of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) produced from Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) bonded by using polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), polymeric diphenyl methane diisocyanate (pMDI), and a mixture of them were evaluated. Thickness swelling of the samples was calculated after different waiting times under water. While the lowest thickness swelling ratio (1.65%) was determined from bonding with PVAc 92%- pMDI 8%, for 2 hours, the highest thickness swelling ratio (6.35%) was observed from bonding with PVAc 98%- pMDI 2% adhesive for 96 hours. As a result, adding pMDI to the PVAc adhesive reduced the rate of swelling of the test specimens. For this reason, the material can be used potentially in wet or humid places.
Several protective coatings enhanced by antimicrobial agents and/or pigments were considered for the wooden toy market: water-based matte varnish, an ultra-hygiene water-based matte varnish (WBV-UH), a polyurethane matte varnish (PUV), and an ultra-hygiene antiviral polyurethane matte varnish (PUV-UH), as well as a water-based dye (WBV 5%K), an ultra-hygiene water-based dye (WBV-UH 5%K), a polyurethane dye (PUV 5%K), and an ultra-hygiene polyurethane dye (PUV-UH 5%K), which contain 5% red nano-pigment (K). By utilizing 7 kinds of bacteria and 2 types of yeast that are commonly detected in routine, daily settings, the efficacy of the different protective coatings on wooden toy surface was investigated. The antibacterial and antimicrobial activities of the tested dye samples were based on the agar-well diffusion method. Ultimately, the study found that the addition of antimicrobial agents to several different protective coatings and dyes resulted in the presence of antimicrobial activity vs. the lack thereof with protective coatings and dyes alone. Additionally, some of the dyes with added antimicrobial agents were found to be effective against biofilm formation. Overall, the addition of pigment into the coating, alongside the addition of antimicrobial agents, proved to be highly effective in inhibiting growth and spread of microorganisms on wooden toy surface.
Windmill palm fiber (WPF) is an abundant source of cellulose fiber that can be used in textile manufacturing. In this study, acid-alkali palm fiber and acid-alkali-enzyme palm fiber were prepared to create blended yarns. The morphology, chemical composition, physical structural parameters, and tensile properties of the WPF samples and yarns were studied. The results indicated that both the acid-alkali and acid-alkali-enzyme treatments can be used as degumming methods to prepare windmill palm textile-grade long fibers with spinning ability. After chemical treatment, the cellulose content of WPF increased to more than 60%, up from 34%. However, the line densities of the acid-alkali and acid-alkali-enzyme textile-grade long fibers decreased to 5.29 ± 1.00 tex and 4.52 ± 0.82 tex, respectively. For the enzyme-treated fiber, a stratification phenomenon of the fiber cell walls and a decrease in the modulus were observed. The palm/cotton yarn had a high tensile strength and strip uniformity.
WO3-ZrO2 solid acid catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and pyridine adsorbed IR spectroscopy (Py-IR). The catalysts were used for catalytic deoxygenation of Jatropha curcas oil. The optimal conditions for the deoxygenation of the generated oil were obtained by response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken four-factor experiments. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied while determining the optimal conditions for the Jatropha oil deoxygenation percentage. The rate was calculated based on Box-Behnken four-factor experiments, with reaction temperature, catalyst amount, reaction time, and reaction pressure as independent variables and the deoxygenation of Jatropha curcas oil as response values. The optimal reaction conditions obtained were a temperature of 370 °C, pressure of 2 MPa, time of 7 h, and catalyst amount of 0.22 g. The deoxygenation percentage of the generated oil under the optimal conditions was 95.1%, which was close to the theoretical value, indicating that the model was reliable. The generated oil contained more jet fuel components, with 68.1% C8-C16, 12.0% isoalkanes, 14.2% cycloalkanes, and 8.9% aromatic compounds under the optimum conditions. This study provides an effective and simple method for preparation of bio-aviation fuel.
Bamboo plants are fast-growing, quickly produce usable material, and are an abundant resource. Bamboo is an excellent, natural, and renewable material. It has a long history of application in human life, industrial manufacturing, cultural industries, and other fields. The warehousing of bamboo and its finished products is an emerging industry with much potential. A reasonable, stable, and orderly warehouse could be an effective solution for the sustainable management, seasonal harvesting, and raw material stability issues. In addition, the warehouse plays an important role in the processing of raw materials, reserve logistics, keeping a robust and real-time supply for downstream products. This is of great significance for alleviating problems associated with Chinese timber safety and for improving the quality of life. This paper focuses on warehousing experience in grain and coal fields, reviews the common material processing and preservation measures of bamboo, analyzes advantages and developmental prospects of bamboo warehousing, and explores and suggests appropriate storage methods, technical systems, and application models. It is expected to provide technical guidance for construction in the bamboo storage industry, and to supply ideas and suggestions for the modern development of the bamboo industry.
In this study, the effect of wollastonite on mechanical, physical, and morphological properties of composites made of sesame stem (Sesamum indicum L.) and gypsum was investigated. The mixing ratio of sesame stem as a lignocellulosic material with gypsum at three levels (10:90, 20:80, and 30:70) and wollastonite at three levels (0%, 5%, and 10%, based on dry weight of cement) were considered as the variables. Fire resistance (weight loss) was tested according to ISO 11925-3 and DIN EN 634-1 and two specifications for the mechanical and physical properties. Microstructural properties of composites were evaluated by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) imaging. The results showed that boards containing wollastonite increased the physical and mechanical properties compared with gypsum board without wollastonite. The modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, and internal bonding of the boards decreased with increased sesame stemcontent, and its maximum value was obtained when using 10% sesame stem. The addition of 10% wollastonite is recommended to significantly improve the fire retardancy of the boards. The results from SEM images showed that the wollastonite can fill in the gaps inside the boards and create a solid structure.
A bio-based membrane was developed for building envelope applications. Biocomposites with enhanced water vapor permeability were fabricated based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and cellulose microfibers (CMF). To improve the interfacial adhesion between PLA and fibers, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a compatibilizer for the modification of CMF. The properties of prepared PLA-based biocomposites were investigated in terms of their morphology, thermal stability, thermomechanical properties, and water vapor permeability. The morphological investigation showed the improved dispersion of cellulose fibers in the PLA matrix after modification of the bio-filler with PEG. The thermogravimetric analysis illustrated that the addition of modified CMFs increased the thermal stability of materials. Moreover, the water vapor permeability of PLA-based biocomposites was enhanced by adding modified CMFs to the PLA matrix. The results suggest that the utilization of PEG as a biopolymer compatibilizer represents a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method to improve the properties of PLA/CMF biocomposites. The developed membranes are potential materials for the fabrication of bio-based membranes with permeable properties that facilitate the transmission of entrapped water vapor through the building, eventually prolonging the service life of building envelope materials.
Silylation is an effective means of cellulose modification. However, the condensation reaction process between the hydrolysis products of the silane coupling agent and cellulose, as well as the structure of the coating, which both have a strong influence on the wettability, are still controversial. In this paper, the reactions of different methyltriethoxysilane hydrolysis products with cellulose were simulated via the density functional theory method. The reaction activity centers of the different methyltriethoxysilane hydrolysis products in an ethanol solution were analyzed via the front-line orbital theory and the Fukui function. The silylation reaction of different methyltriethoxysilane hydrolysis products in an ethanol solution on the cellulose surface were investigated via the transition state theory. The results show that although the initial hydrolysis product has the lowest grafting energy barrier, considering the whole process of grafting and condensation on the cellulose surface, the hydrolysis product with two hydroxyl groups is more favorable for the growth of organosilicon on the cellulose surface, so it is desirable to control the reaction where this product is dominant. In addition, the silylation process on the cellulose surface is more inclined to a multilayer coating mechanism.
The tensile relaxation behavior of bamboo fiber was evaluated. Bamboo fibers were extracted via a mechanical method and treated in alkaline solutions of sodium hydroxide. The relaxation tests of bamboo fibers were conducted by applying a constant strain at one end of a single bamboo fiber while the other end was fixed. The reaction force in the bamboo fiber was measured at the same time. The relaxation tests of the bamboo fibers were conducted under different temperature and moisture contents. The results showed that in the wet and/or high temperature conditions, the relaxation rate was faster than that in the dry and/or room temperature conditions. For a low strain, the bamboo fiber can be totally relaxed within 10 min under a high temperature. A nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive model was proposed to fit the relaxation curves, which could model the stress relaxation behavior of a bamboo fiber under different temperature or moisture content conditions. Compared with the experimental data, the model gave reasonable values for the relaxation behavior of the bamboo fiber.

摘要: Carbonaceous materials with superior catalytic activity, which could avoid drawbacks of heavy metal ion leaching for metal-based catalysts, are widely used in advanced oxidation processes ( AOPs). Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced by pyrolysis of biomass under oxygen limited condition, is low-cost, widely available, and environmentally friendly. Biochar has been utilized to activate peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide, peroxymonosulfate and peroxydisulfate for the degradation of pollutants in water. In this paper, precursors and preparation methods of biochar as well as their influence on catalytic activity of biochar are discussed. The activation mechanisms of peroxides by biochar and the effects of water matrices on the degradation of pollutants are summarized. The progress in the modification of biochar is reviewed. The reusability of biochar is elucidated and the regeneration methods of biochar are provided. In the end, the problems and the prospects of the biochar- based AOPs are put forward.

Climate change is driving new research into conserving natural resources and the importance of sustainability. One way to confront this situation is by implementing best management practices that help prevent, decrease, or mitigate the impacts of extreme environmental changes over a short period and help prepare for climate change in the long term. Currently, extreme events affecting natural resources have become quasi-permanent. They include increased drought, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, wildland fires, and other human activities inducing pollution, vegetation loss, declining soil productivity and water availability, and increasing erosion, which threaten life on earth.
New approaches in managing the uncertainty associated with climate change suggest using integrating innovative natural resources management practices into decision-making for conservation. Because biochar can be made from forest biomass, it presents an opportunity to promote forest management in areas with a high risk for wildland fire. Thinning these areas can reduce fire risk and provide biomass for biochar production. Biochar has potential applications in waste management, renewable energy, greenhouse gas emission reduction, mine site reclamation, and soil and water remediation, as well as its potential for enhancing soil health and crop productivity.
This collection aims to demonstrate the importance and potential of biochar feedstocks, production systems, field applications, long-term results, and potential uses for climate change mitigation for natural resource conservation.

City of Parramatta Council CEO Brett Newman has today announced he will step down from his role at the end of September.
“I am humbled and proud to have had the opportunity to lead this great organisation and contribute to the City of Parramatta’s incredible transformation over the past three years,” Mr Newman said.
“It has been an honour to work with such a talented and enthusiastic group of people at City of Parramatta Council, who are absolutely committed to putting their community first. I would like to thank our staff for their continuous hard work, and in particular, the Executive Team for their support, friendship, and dedication. I would also like to thank the Councillors for their ongoing support.”
Mr Newman said it was a difficult decision but decided the time was right to pursue other priorities, including spending more time with his family, and has accepted a role in the private sector.
Lord Mayor Cr Donna Davis thanked Mr Newman for his leadership, particularly during the challenges of the pandemic and a significant period of growth and transformation for the City of Parramatta.
“Brett has played a central role in implementing Council’s vision, through the delivery of major projects for our community,” Cr Davis said.
“Brett’s advocacy has built vital relationships that will endure for the benefit of our City. I thank Brett for his dedication, commitment, and leadership.”
Since joining Council in September 2019, Mr Newman led a wide range of key initiatives, including: the delivery of PHIVE, Parramatta Square and the Parramatta Aquatic Centre; planning reform across the local government area including the CBD Planning Proposal; the launch of a new City brand (AT Parramatta); the establishment of two key alliances focused on education in Parramatta and the Parramatta Square precinct; and the continuation of service delivery for the community during two years of COVID lockdowns as well as floods.
Mr Newman will remain in the role until the end of September to ensure a smooth transition to an interim leader, as the search for a new CEO commences.

Drought stress has plenty of detrimental repercussions on soil, the microbial properties of soil, and crop plants' attributes. To clarify the fact how using biochar (BIO) and exogenous application of Methyl Jasmonate (MJ) affect some physiological and biochemical indexes of Barley under drought stress, two-year experimental research was done in the experimental greenhouse of the University of Zanjan-Iran. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design in five replications in which two regimes of irrigation including regular irrigation as the control (D0) and water deficit for two weeks in flowering stage (D1), three levels of spraying Methyl Jasmonate (zero μmol as the control treatment, 50 and 100 μmol) and our levels of biochar (zero % as the control treatment, 0.25, 0.5 and one percent of soil weight) were executed. The results demonstrated stimulating impacts of using biochar and Methyl Jasmonate in amelioration of the adverse effects of drought stress. It was observed that using these anti-stress materials can significantly adjust the devastating effects of biochar on SPAD index, the enzymatic activity of CAT, PER, APER and SOD, as well as total soluble protein, MDA, proline, total carbohydrate concentration, and electrolyte leakage (EL). Although water shortage increased the proline concentration, total carbohydrate and electrolyte leakage (EL), using biochar and Methyl Jasmonate modulated their condensation in studied plants. Moreover, while the enzymatic activity of all studied enzymes was increased as a result of drought stress, biochar adjusted the effect of drought stress and reduced the enzymatic activity but Methyl Jasmonate improved the activity of all of them. Conclusively, it is pronounced that biochar amendment and foliar application of Methyl Jasmonate could effectively improve growth and yield under drought stress through amelioration of overwhelming consequences of drought stress conditions on physiological and biochemical traits of crop plants, in particular winter barley which was investigated in this research.

Invert's carbon forestry expert develops biochar methodology
Ottawa-based Invert Inc., a specialized carbon reduction and offsetting company focused on making carbon credits accessible to individuals, is proud to congratulate Matt Delaney, the company’s head of carbon forestry, for his contributions to developing the recently published Verra Biochar Methodology. The methodology, published by Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard Program, paves the way for new nature-based approaches to carbon removal, specifically biochar utilization in soil and other applications.
Biochar is a solid and stabilized carbon material formed by the thermochemical processing of biomass in an oxygen limited environment. When used as a soil amendment, biochar can help retain nutrients and water. The carbon in biochar is resistant to decomposition and can persist in soils for hundreds of years. Biochar was among the IPCC’s short-list of Negative Emission Technologies (NETs) that could provide a significant sequestration impact, with the potential to mitigate over a billion tonnes of CO2 per year by 2050.
The Biochar Methodology was developed by a consortium of experts from the biochar and carbon removal industry, including Invert’s internal subject matter expert and head of carbon forestry, Matt Delaney. Matt collaborated with a team of experts to develop the methodology including FORLIANCE, South Pole and Biochar Works. The new methodology outlines how net emissions removals are calculated from biochar production and application. The methodology is comprehensive in that the carbon accounting boundary extends from sourcing the waste biomass, making biochar, to its final use (in soil or approved non-soil applications).
“Matt is an incredible asset to the Invert team, with over 20 years of experience in forest carbon methodology development, his knowledge and experience are invaluable not only to Invert, but to the global fight against climate change,” said Andre Fernandez, Co-CEO, Invert Inc. “We applaud his thought leadership in co-developing the recent biochar methodology and look forward to many more success stories as we continue to advance our carbon reduction investments and software platform.”
Matt has been part of the successful implementation of carbon projects on over two million acres of land, and is the co-author of an Improved Forest Management (IFM) methodology under the American Carbon Registry.
In addition to developing new carbon methodologies, as part of his role as head of carbon forestry at Invert, Matt evaluates and completes due diligence on forest carbon project opportunities including IFM, REDD+, and reforestation projects globally. He also identifies new opportunities in the carbon offset and removal sector.
Verra will hold two webinars to launch the biochar methodology on Sep. 9 and 20.

Startup Mantra: Tapping hidden treasures from agro waste, crop residue – Hindustan Times
Subscribe Now! Get features like
While you get to read this story today, Govinda Hari Sonawane, an aspiring-entrepreneur from Nimbhora village of Raver tehsil in Jalgaon district of Maharashtra – about 1,100 kilometres from Delhi – is awaiting a call to get his startup shortlisted for incubation in IIT Delhi.
Govinda has made a portable machine named “BioChar” that converts agricultural waste and crop residues into valuable products like bio-incense sticks, paper plates and “vegan leather”. Interestingly, the machine does not require any kind of external source like electricity for its operation. Govinda’s startup “Agri Waste Pvt Ltd” is helping farmers earn additional income from agri-waste; reduce air and soil pollution due to burning of this waste; and create employment and income opportunities in rural areas and for small-scale entrepreneurs.
Hard lessons
Govinda comes from an economically-stressful background. He completed his schooling and college education in Jalgaon itself, while his father did furniture work to sustain the family. Govinda did his MSc Electronics from Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon, and later moved to Talegaon Dabhade in Pune for a job.
Govinda said, “I worked in the company till 2014-end and returned to my village. I was looking for options when the thought of starting my own business came to my mind. I had the experience of making CFL bulbs and decided to do something in a related field. I began with CFL bulb assembly and mobile charger circuit business. I took a loan of ₹5 lakh under the PM Employment Guarantee Scheme in March 2015 for this business.
“However, a few months later, I ran into losses. The bulb performance guarantee provisions were not sustainable and hence all profit and the capital invested was lost. It was a hard lesson learnt, but I did not lose hope. I realised that the non-functional bulbs will have either the tube or circuit in good condition and thought of repairing such faulty bulbs and resell it. I used to collect such non-working bulbs, repair it and resell it. I did this business for about two years till I repaid the loan amount in 2019.”
Pivot
While touring for the bulb business, Govinda spotted opportunities to diversify and start new business of incense sticks (agarbatti). Since many small and big players are already set in this market, Govinda was in search of having some product-differentiation.
“I had presented an idea of making incense sticks from flowers and based on this I was hoping to get incubated under the Start-up India Scheme at the North Maharashtra University. My mentor Manveen Chaddha persuaded me to do more research on this business. A few startups were already doing some work in agri-waste processing and I went through the patents and IP rights,” he said.
“While watching videos of some machines on an online platform, I realised that either electricity or huge amount of wood or charcoal is required for the machines to produce incense sticks. I visited one such unit at Nagpur and they told me that the machine costs around ₹10 lakh. So, I started researching about the machine and its design. Short of money and resources, I took a 200-litre capacity drum and made a prototype. It was designed in such a way that no electricity was needed to operate it and any kind of waste, including dry leaves of plants, would be turned into charcoal in a few hours. The machine was a success and I invited my mentor to check it,” Govinda said.
Resistance
Initially, Govinda’s family opposed his business. However, his wife Manisha not only supported, but also decided to share responsibilities in his enterprise.
Govinda said, “While touring for the bulb business, I used to meet many shop owners in and around my village. Their acquaintance helped me get initial traction for the incense sticks business. But I was wary of suffering financial loss while doing business. It also happened that due to incomplete documentation, an award remuneration of ₹85,000 from KCIIL Incubators (North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon) was delayed. Hence, I did not register the company nor did I seek funding from any external investor. In fact, no one from my family or village had ever heard of funding or venture capital and they could not believe that a person or institution can actually help monetarily to do business. Later, I received another award worth ₹75,000 from MIT ADT University in Pune and also the first award amount. That’s when my family started believing in my entrepreneurial spirit, and now, they completely support me.”
Prototype to final product
The prototype to final product journey has been a long one for Govinda. During the Covid lockdowns in 2020, Govinda’s business flourished because other companies were unable to provide their products in villages. But in 2021, during the second wave of coronavirus infection, Govinda and his entire family was affected and hospitalised.
“Business took a hit for about six months due to Covid. Whatever gains we made in 2020 were wiped out in 2021, but we did not lose hope. We started again with the same zeal and are still running. The company was incorporated in February 2022. The prototype was made with just ₹9,000. With certain design changes, we were able to make the final product in March-2022 at a cost of just ₹90,000,” recalls Govinda.
BioChar: How it works
Govinda’s BioChar is a low-cost product designed for rural entrepreneurs and farmers to generate additional income and employment opportunities.
For readers convenience, Govinda explained how the machine works. “Typically corn cobs (bhutta) and cotton stalks (cotton crop waste) are either thrown away or burnt by farmers. Industries looking for biofuels are interested in larger farms (5 acre or more) and hence small farmers (less land holdings) are ignored by them. This is the raw material that is required to put into BioChar machine.
If the raw material is put into the machine and ignited it will burn into ash. So, we need to control the oxygen levels and keep it at lower levels. We also need to keep the smoke in control. For that, we have put a filter and the carbon particles help achieve higher temperatures in the range of 800-900-degrees Celsius. Corn cobs usually take 90 minutes to turn into charcoal while dry leaves of plants or cotton stalks take less time. Cotton stalks are chopped to 4-5-inch size which helps to input more raw material at any given time. Once the charcoal is ready, the flame is reduced and charcoal blocks are removed from the lower side of the machine,” Govinda said.
Feedback
Govinda started making use of social media to create awareness about his BioChar machine and agri-waste recycling. Elated over the response, Govinda shared that he is receiving calls from across India about the machine and its applications.
“One such caller gave me an idea to tweak the design to process paper plates as raw material. Another such variation we are working on is for processing turmeric. The machine flame can be used to heat water required for turmeric processing. This new design of our machine would cost up to ₹2.5 lakh but it will help farmers get their dry turmeric product in just few hours instead of weeks,” he said.
Govinda said, “I am often asked by investors if we are going to sell our machines (B2B model) or the products derived from it (B2C or D2C model). In our case, if the customer doesn’t understand the charcoal production process, then the model would fail. Hence, we have not gone into it. Instead, we have focussed on the B2B2C model wherein we sell the incense sticks produced at our unit to small shop owners who in turn sell it to the end consumers. Since big shop owners demand credit, we are not targeting them now. We may even give franchises in future. We are receiving a lot of interest from various groups, including farmer self-help groups.”
No ecommerce
Ecommerce business lures everyone, but Govinda has a different take on it. “Attractive packaging is very expensive and most small businesses fail due to these additional costs. Since there are variety of products, we can’t make heavy investments in such activities. With local packaging and unfavourable return policies, small entrepreneurs end up with less margins on products sold through ecommerce websites. Besides, they have to also advertise on those platforms to improve their ranking. Considering all these factors, we have decided to stay away from ecommerce platforms at least in the near term.”
Future plans
Agri Waste Solutions plans to expand its operations and target urban population for its product consumption as well. Govinda said, “We are a team of four members at present. We are continuously researching about the newer possibilities with our machine design. One such effort is towards building a product which can use the carbon particles to drive pumps used by farmers at their farms.”

A hoopoe charmed viewers with its habit of digging soft ground systematically with a ‘chimta’ or forceps-like bill, as if searching the earth for a lost, buried treasure. When the hoopoe rendered a soft, musical hoo-po-po call, it entranced the ear and spawned transcriptions of the vocalisation. Many hoopoe names in cultures across the world take from its idiosyncratic call. However, the bird’s presence has ebbed from one frequently encountered.
Many a time, a student’s entire outlook and career dimension would undergo sea-change post counselling. Parents, often, with their limited know-how and outmoded ideas are of little help. College life, no doubt, offers students a plethora of choices related to picking up courses, selecting subjects, attending classes, appearing in examinations along with dressing up at their will. Only then we can expect to nurture them as individuals with a strong sense of responsibility.

Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus L.) is the 4th most cultivated oil seed crop worldwide by area. In recent decades, it was introduced as an oil seed crop in Pakistan but its cultivation and yield is fluctuating due to various production and socio-economic constraints. Sunflower is one of the most commonly grown oilseed species with a worldwide production of grain and oil over 28.5×106 and 10.5×106 Mg respectively, and it is grown around 22.6×106 hectares with a seed yield of 1.3 tons/ha. Sunflower seeds have a great nutritional value, it contains a high amount of oil content (40 to 50%) which is a key source of poly-unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid.
According to the reports of Agricultural statistics of Pakistan 2009-10, the sunflower cultivated area in 2000-01 was 58998 ha and increased to 319743 ha in 2008-09, with the production of 420487 tons and per hectare, the yield was more than 1ton ha-1. Studies on this crop have revealed that there is great potential in the sunflower crop because it can be grown in all types of soils and environmental conditions such as in rain-fed as well as in irrigated farming systems in different agro-ecological zones.
Phosphorous is one of the principal elements in plant nourishment. Lack of Phosphorous availability to plants can significantly reduce plant growth as well as crop yield. Hence, phosphorous based inorganic fertilizers are commonly used in farming lands around the globe to increase soil phosphorous concentration and crop revenues. Phosphorous plays a vital role in numerous metabolic processes in plants such as cell division, production and transport of sugar and starch, the structure of cell wall phosphor-lipids, and root growth. In soils, phosphorous is present as exchangeable, soluble, and precipitated forms, as well as held on the surface of clay minerals. Yet, only a small portion of it is accessible for plant uptake. The results of several studies have indicated that phosphorous concentration in plants is variable throughout different growth phases, and its concentration relies on various factors.
Calcareous soils are commonly present in arid regions of the world where the annual rain fall rate is low, the temperature is too hot, and organic matter content are commonly very low, such as in Pakistan. Phosphorous, when applied to these soils are readily precipitated due to high concentrations of calcium carbonate and pH and becomes unavailable to plants in calcareous soils Therefore, appropriate phosphorous fertilizer management in calcareous soils of arid regions is important for crop production. Therefore using large volumes of chemical fertilizers, the growth and yield of crops can be improved. However, rising costs of these fertilizers and environmental concerns linked to their use have led to the development of alternative strategies.
The use of beneficial soil microorganisms and, carbon-based organic materials such as PSB and biochar could decrease the amount of fertilizer input by enhancing the efficiency of nutrient availability and other plant growth promoting activities.
A diverse gathering of soil microbes is involved in solubilizing insoluble P complexes and enabling plants to easily absorb P. Many kinds of soil bacteria such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, and Enterobacter have the skill to change the insoluble form of phosphorous in the soil into soluble form through releasing organic acids such as formic, propionic, fumaric, acetic, and succinic acids. The usage of beneficial microorganisms (bio-fertilizers) like phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as inoculants with the seed rises the phosphorous acquisition because the beneficial microorganisms release organic acids which condense soil pH. These acids reduce the pH and carry the dissolution of fixed forms of phosphate. These beneficial germs are significant not only for the decline in the usage of inorganic fertilizers but also for environment friendly and also increased crop productivity.
Biochar is a porous solid, carbon-rich material prepared by chemical-thermal alteration of biomass in an environment with a shortage or lack of oxygen. Research has exposed that the addition of biochar to the soil improve soil fertility and agricultural productivity significantly. In addition, it has been shown that biochar has an effect on soil physical such as soil structure, soil texture, pore spaces, and water holding capacity, and chemical properties like pH, cation exchange capacity, and availability of plant nutrients. Biochar application significantly increased the pH and soil available phosphorous concentration to lettuce. Several studies have shown that phosphorous uptake significantly increased with the application of biochar. Therefore, it is possible that biochar application in calcareous soils may improve the availability of phosphorous to plants.

A review of biochar potential in Cote d'Ivoire in light of the challenges facing Sub-Saharan …
Soil erosion, starvation, livelihood protection, energy shortages, and environmental pollution are major concerns in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Biochar has become an issue of international concern, but little research has investigated biochar’s capacity to alleviate SSA challenges. This review defines and evaluates biochar’s ability and constraints in SSA by undertaking a case study in Cote d’Ivoire. The specific goals were to (1) describe and assess biochar feedstocks; (2) conduct an overview of the literature on biochar production technology; (3) explore its potential uses in agriculture, energy, and environmental remediation; and (4) identify barriers to research implementation and future biochar research. Furthermore, the potential agricultural and environmental benefits of biochar are addressed. According to these results, Cote d’Ivoire’s plentiful crop supplies represent a major opportunity for biochar production. Biochar has promising application in agriculture and the environment by improving soil fertility and crop productivity, sequestering CO2 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and remediating polluted water and soils. Biochar is an excellent alternative to traditional coal for producing clean energy, especially for low-income households without access to reliable electricity. To reap biochar’s benefit within SSA, researchers, customers, and the general public need to overcome various challenges, including environmental, socioeconomic, and logistical constraints. Therefore, many research projects would be expected to show the value of biochar applications, set guidelines for their use, and ultimately, develop a policy and standards for their eventual implementation.

Effect of straw biochar from different crops on growth and nutrient uptake by peach (Prunus …
The discarding and unreasonable use of straw cause environmental pollution. To improve its utilization, the effects of biochar made from the straws of four crops (rape, rice, wheat, and corn) on the growth and nutrient absorption of peach (Prunus davidiana) seedlings were investigated in a pot experiment. The biochar from each crop straw increased the biomass, photosynthetic pigment content, antioxidant enzyme activity and soluble protein content of peach seedlings to some extent. All biochar treatments increased the phosphorus and potassium contents in peach seedlings. The rice and wheat straw biochar increased the nitrogen content in stems and leaves, while the rape and corn straw biochar had a negative effect on the nitrogen content of leaves. Therefore, crop straw biochar can be beneficial for the growth and nutrient absorption by peach seedlings, of which the rape straw biochar shows the best effect.

Biomass from specialty crops, including almonds, walnuts, and numerous others, serves as an important resource for energy and materials as agricultural systems evolve towards greater sustainability and circularity in management and operations. Biochar was produced from almond shells in a laboratory furnace at temperatures between 300 and 750 &deg;C for residence times of 30 and 90 min with moisture contents of 5% to 15% wet basis. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the biochar yield. Feedstock and product temperatures were continuously monitored throughout the experiments. In addition, larger batches of biochar were also produced in a fixed-bed pilot-scale pyrolyzer. The yield of biochar was determined as a weight fraction of the amount of oven-dry almond shells used in each experiment. Physical and chemical characteristics of biochars were evaluated. Pyrolysis temperature and time were found to be the significant parameters affecting the biochar yield, with second-order regression models derived to fit yield results. As anticipated, highest biochar yields (65%) were obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 300 &deg;C and a pyrolysis time of 30 min due to the limited volatilization at this short residence at low temperature affecting torrefaction of the feedstock. The average biochar yield from the fixed-bed pilot-scale experiments was 39.5% and more closely aligned with the fixed carbon from standard proximate analyses. Higher pyrolysis temperatures resulted in higher C:N ratio and pH with the highest C:N ratio of 19:1 and pH of 10.0 obtained at a pyrolysis temperature of 750 &deg;C for 90 min. Particle density increased with the increase of pyrolysis temperature. Results of this study can aid in predicting biochar yields from almond shells under different pyrolysis conditions and determining the amount of biochar required for different applications.

KERONE is pioneer in application and implementation engineering with its vast experience and team of professionals. KERONE is devoted to serve the industry to optimize their operations both economically and environmentally with its specialized heating and drying solutions.
KERONE has developed a new pyrolysis plant technology that enables biomass to be converted on-the-spot into high value biochar product. Pyrolysis is the high-temperature treatment of wood waste in a low-oxygen atmosphere to manufacture a special type of char called as biochar, which has a variety of valuable applications. The technology is especially useful for the treatment of invasive pest tree and plant species, providing a way of complete destruction with minimal risk of spread. A complicated thermal oxidiser arrangement also makes the technology suitable for contaminated biomass sources where contaminants can be volatilised and destroyed in the high-temperature afterburner flue system.

189: What is Biochar? | David Butler – Ag Future: Innovation in Agri-Food – Poddtoppen
Wavemaker Impact Invests $525,000 In Agritech WasteX – Carbon Herald
VC climatetech venture builder Wavemaker Impact has launched its first startup WasteX with an initial investment of $525,000. The company will help agricultural producers in Southeast Asia turn biomass waste into products that tackle climate change.
Every year, 3.5 billion tons of agricultural waste is discarded, burnt, or sold cheaply, causing environmental harm. To tackle this problem, WasteX will offer an end-to-end solution for agricultural producers that has the potential to create substantial financial, operational, and sustainability benefits.
Relevant: Bloomberg Philanthropies Allocates $2.8M For Biochar Project To Reduce Emissions
The startup will help agricultural producers choose the right technology and its deployment, and will offer them operational support, carbon credits certification, and help with the sale or application of upgraded products such as biochar or black soldier flies, whose larvae can improve the biomass waste properties to reduce the loss of carbon.
The early assessment shows a potential for more than $150 billion Gross Merchandize Value for the higher-end products and over 700 million metric tons of greenhouse gasses reduction.
WasteX came out of Wavemaker Impact’s 4-month-long venture building initiative, which is the first one purely focused on climate tech in Southeast Asia. The process of choosing to focus on biomass waste conversion included reviewing an array of agriculture and food problems and conducting hundreds of interviews.
“There are some amazing new technologies and developments in waste valorization but due to their novelty and process complexity, they are sparsely adopted by agricultural producers,” said Pawel Kuznicki, the Founder and CEO of WasteX. “Given how challenged the industry is by multiple global crises, including climate change, the war in Ukraine, and global inflation, we want to enable these new solutions for both smallholders and large producers, and unlock 3-5x more value for them.”
WasteX has already begun several pilot projects in Southeast Asia and is working with clients coming from agricultural organizations, livestock farms and independent mills. The startup’s plans for the future include digitizing its solution and creating connections between diverse actors in the biomass waste value chain.

University of Helsinki: Biochar can be a promising tool in mitigating the environmental …
In his doctoral study Subin Kalu found that biochar addition to soil can reduce nitrogen leaching from agricultural soils to waterways, and reduce the emissions of N2O a potent greenhouse gas.
The high specific surface area and porous structure of biochar can improve retention of soil water and nutrients in the soil, and thus their availability to crops. Biochar can also alter the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils that could eventually reduce greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching. Whether these beneficial effects after a single application of biochar persist for the long-term, especially in boreal climates, has remained unknown so far.
“It is also essential to find out the long-term effects of biochar before its widespread application to soils, to detect if biochar would have any detrimental effects because it is not possible to remove it once it has been applied to the soil,” says Kalu.
Application of biochar in agricultural soils is a safe way of enhancing soil carbon storage
Kalu studied the long-term effects of biochars in four different agricultural field experiments in southern Finland where biochars had been applied two to eight years ago. Kalu says, “Although the effects of biochars were not consistent throughout these years, some improvements in plant growth were observed when the previous growing seasons were planted with legumes. This special biochar and pre-crop effect warrants further study”.
“In some cases, biochars showed tendencies to improve agricultural benefits such as increases in crop yield, soil nitrate retention and plant nitrogen uptake while reducing the negative environmental effects such as decreases in soil N2O emissions and nitrate leaching”.
Even if the observed positive agricultural and environmental effects were not consistent in all fields in the long-term, researchers detected no negative effects of biochar over the study periods. This indicates that the application of biochar in agricultural soils is a safe way of enhancing soil carbon storage.
Subin Kalu did his PhD at the Faculty of Agricultural and Forest Sciences, in a joint collaboration between researchers from the Department of Forest Sciences and Agricultural Sciences as well as with researchers from Natural Resources Institute Finland (LUKE) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
Doctoral defence
Subin Kalu will defend the doctoral dissertation entitled “Long-term effects of biochars as a soil amendment in boreal agricultural soils” in the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Helsinki, on 2 September 2022 at 12:00. The public examination will take place at the following address: EE-Building, Walter Hall, Agnes Sjöberginkatu 2. Professor Claudia Kammann, Hochschule Geisenheim University, will serve as the opponent, and Professor Johan Ekroos as the custos. The dissertation is also available in electronic form in Helda.

Clifford Chance advises Biocare Projects on world's largest biochar carbon removal project
Biocare Projects specialises in identifying, sourcing and financing project development in the carbon space, supporting businesses to improve processes which reduce carbon impact and unlock carbon monetisation opportunities.
The Biocare-Kiland project involves the conversion of 4.5 million tonnes of fire damaged timber from Kiland’s timber plantations on Kangaroo Island in South Australia into approximately 900,000 tonnes of biochar, a stable form of carbon made from biomass which acts as a carbon store that can endure in soil for hundreds to thousands of years. The project will take place over the next six to ten years and is expected to generate approximately 1.8 million carbon credits.
Lead partner Reuben van Werkum said, "We are thrilled to advise Biocare on this landmark deal, which will provide an innovative and environmentally-sustainable solution to prevent the release of carbon from millions of hectares of Australian timber damaged by bushfires. We are very proud to be working with a business that plays a key role in assisting companies to tackle climate change as they move to carbon net-zero and beyond. This transaction builds upon our market-leading work in Australia and around the world advising businesses in all sectors in mitigating climate change risk, transitioning to clean energy and undertaking ESG-related investments."
Reuben was supported by associate Joshua Yan in Sydney.
Clifford Chance regularly advises on market-leading decarbonisation initiatives including Xpansiv on Blackstone’s US$400 million investment in its global carbon and environmental commodities exchange platform, Adamantem Capital on its acquisition of the Climate Friendly carbon farming business and follow-on investment by Mitsui, and Climeworks on the project financing of the first ever commercial scale carbon dioxide air capture project.

Effects of magnetic hydroxyapatite loaded biochar on Cd removal and passivation in paddy …
Stabilized cadmium (Cd) was extremely easy to be re-released into the environment. The study was aim to explore the Cd removal efficiency and passivation in paddy soil by magnetic hydroxyapatite loaded biochar (MHBC), and to investigate the effect of MHBC on Cd accumulation and yield of rice with low Cd accumulation cultivar named ZhuLiangYou189 (ZLY189) and conventional cultivar named ZhuLiangYou929 (ZLY929) in 2-year field trials. These results shown that MHBC under the high dosage of 25.2 t/ha can effectively decrease the bioavailable Cd (from 0.4 to 0.24 mg/kg) and total Cd (from 1.42 to 0.86 mg/kg). For ZLY929, only with the dosage of 25.2 t/ha MHBC, the grain Cd content can meet the contaminant limits in grain (≤ 0.2 mg/kg) during 2 years. While for ZLY189, the grain Cd content in 6.3 t/ha, 12.5 t/ha, and 25.2 t/ha decreased to 0.13 ~ 0.17 mg/kg, to 0.07 ~ 0.10 mg/kg, and to 0.05 ~ 0.08 mg/kg during 2 years, respectively. What’s more, the application of MHBC has no environmental risk and increase grain yield by boosting soil nutrient substance. Thus, the application of MHBC was a promising remediation technology in Cd-contaminated paddy soil.

Electromagnetic absorption enhancing mechanisms by modified biochar derived … – RSC Publishing
Although the rapid advances of wireless technologies and electronic devices largely improve the quality of life, electromagnetic (EM) pollution increases the risk of exposure to EM radiation. Developing high-efficiency absorbers with rational structure and wideband characteristics is of great significance to eliminate radiation pollution. Herein, Enteromorpha prolifera derived biochar which would provide proper surface and multiple polarization has been prepared as the supporter to anchor nanoparticles. In addition, theoretical simulation results further confirm that the radar wave scattering could be largely inhibited after coating with the absorbing materials. As a result, the hybrid absorbers achieve remarkable EM absorption properties attributed to the synergistic magnetic-dielectric loss. Elaborate compositional and structural characterizations indicate the absorber has large specific area and numerous polarization centers, which would make full use of waste biomass as lightweight and broadband high-performance EM absorption materials.

Mineral elements uptake and physiological response of Amaranthus mangostanus (L.) as …
Amaranthus mangostanus L. (amaranth) was hydroponically grown in different concentrations of biochar amended nutrient solution to investigate the mineral elements migration and physiological response of amaranth as affected by biochar. Our results showed that exposure to 26.6 g/L of biochar greatly increased the root and shoot K, Na and Al content, while 2.6 g/L of biochar greatly increased the root Ca and Mg content. The uptake of K and Al notably altered other elements’ accumulation in shoots and roots upon the biochar exposure. The ratio of Ca: K in shoots and Mg: K in roots were negatively correlated to the biochar concentrations, while the ratio of Al: Ca and Al: Mg in roots were positively related to the biochar concentrations. The Al: Fe ratio was also polynomial correlated to the concentrations of biochar. The addition of biochar beyond 2.6 g/L resulted in the cell membrane and DNA damages in roots. The activity of SOD and CAT in 6.7 g/L biochar treated roots was significantly elevated as compared to the ones in other biochar treatments and was almost 2-fold of the control. The photosynthetic Fv/Fm intensity and subcellular structure in leaves were also compromised upon exposure to 26.6 g/L biochar. Taken together, biochar could significantly alter the mineral migration in amaranth and physiologically damage in the plants. It is essential to study the effect of biochar within appropriate concentrations on plants prior to wide application in agriculture.

Biochar produced from eggshell waste applied for removal of water-polluting substances …
This study aimed to evaluate biochar produced from eggshells to remove water-polluting substances and to apply it on clayey soil to improve physical properties. CCRD was used to determine the influence of biochar concentration and contact time in water-polluting substance removal. Bacteria removal efficiency and genotoxicity effects were evaluated. Compaction and compressive strength tests were performed after the application of biochar to clayey soils. The removal efficiency of aluminum, fluoride, manganese, zinc, and iron were 52.8, 69.8, 78.9, 96.7, and 96.4%, respectively. After 6 h of contact time, E. coli was completely removed. The water did not demonstrate genotoxic residual after biochar application. The maximum compressive strength obtained demonstrated an increase of 29.7% if compared to control. The biochar production from eggshell waste to remove water-polluting and stabilization of clayey soil provides a very simple, low-cost, effective and environmental friendly of this waste.

Saratoga Biochar facility: Lawsuit likely. – Foothills Business Daily
Ray Apy, CEO of Saratoga Biochar Solutions, center, watches the proceedings of the Moreau Town Planning Board in August 2022.
“I think we are going to sue,” Tracy Frisch told FoothillsBusinessDaily.com Sunday Sept. 4.
Frisch founded the Clean Air Action Network of Glens Falls in 2019. The group has until Sept. 24 to file the lawsuit.
On Aug. 25, the Moreau Town Planning Board approved with conditions Saratoga Biochar’s $44-million plant off Bluebird Road. The board had also made a “negative declaration” under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), last March, meaning the board believed the project would present no significant, environmental impacts.
[Read our coverage of Biochar’s track to approval here.]
In August, CAAN retained the services of Pace Environmental Litigation, with Todd Ommen, their managing attorney. The Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic represents public interest environmental groups free of charge.
Ommen focused on that negative declaration in his Aug. 23 letter to the town: “The Planning Board’s conclusion that the facility will not have any potential significant adverse environmental impacts appears deeply flawed, and it is evident that the Planning Board has not yet complied with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (‘SEQR’).”
A SEQR review considers not just the ecological impacts that may occur, but the impacts on the lived environment. The questions the board must consider during a SEQR review cover many areas from the effects on groundwater and air quality to the effects of additional traffic or noise pollution on nearby homes and businesses.
People who have worked against the Biochar plan have said that the SEQR review came before a public hearing on the plan, so the board took little public input before the negative declaration.
“The way the whole SEQR process was done was a real travesty,” Frisch said. “How anyone with a straight face can say that there are no potential significant environmental impacts from bringing up to 720 tons a day of sewage sludge to be burned by pyrolysis to be made into biochar is beyond comprehension.”
“If the Article 78 lawsuit…is victorious, the town would be directed to revisit SEQRA,” she wrote in a subsequent email. “If the town planning board made a positive declaration [that Saratoga Biochar could have significant environmental impacts], the company would have to produce an Environmental Impact Statement, which would examine all sorts of potential environmental impacts as well as alternatives to the project, including no project at all.
“There is no reason that Moreau should be the site of a processing facility for up to 15% of the state’s sewage sludge, mostly from Nassau County, NYC and its suburbs, the mid Hudson Valley — as well as western CT and western MA. The town does not have a wastewater treatment plant and most residents are on septic,” she wrote.
The company has long held that dried biosolids, not raw sewage, will be the “feed” for the plant, along with wood waste. Biosolids are the end product of wastewater plants, taken and dried at those facilities. They will be transported in a covered truck to the Moreau facility once it is operating. The company has been adamant that the facility will not burn the biosolids but extract gas and burn the gas.
Contacted via email for comment, Saratoga Biochar CEO Raymond Apy said, “We believe the Moreau Planning Board’s handling of our application was very thorough and that they followed the correct, legal process, leaving little or no room for a complainant to find material fault.
“If Tracy Frisch decides to proceed with a lawsuit, we believe she will have a long and very expensive uphill battle with little chance of winning,” he wrote.
Apy continued, “This project is going to happen, and the outcome is going to be excellent, despite the inaccurate and undeservingly negative claims made against it.
“New York needs innovative solutions to its serious and growing biosolids disposition problem, capable of operating at large scale, and it needs them now. We offer that solution in that we address ALL the problems associated with biosolids, whereas Tracy Frisch and her cohorts are fast becoming part of the problem,” he wrote.
Article 78 would require that the lawsuit moved against the Town of Moreau and its planning board, not against Biochar directly. Moreau Town Supervisor Todd Kusnierz didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Application of Biochar for Improving Physical, Chemical, and Hydrological Soil Properties
Biochar is a carbon-based substance made by the pyrolysis of organic waste. The amount of biochar produced is determined by the type of feedstock and pyrolysis conditions. Biochar is frequently added to the soil for various reasons, including carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas mitigation, improved crop production by boosting soil fertility, removing harmful contaminants, and drought mitigation. Biochar may also be used for waste management and wastewater treatment. Biochar’s various advantages make it a potentially appealing instrument material for current science and technology. Although biochar’s impacts on soil chemical qualities and fertility have been extensively researched, little is known about its impact on enhancing soil physical qualities. This review is intended to describe biochar’s influence on some crucial soil physical and hydrological properties, including bulk density of soil, water holding capacity, soil porosity, soil hydraulic conductivity, soil water retention, water repellence–available plant water, water infiltration, soil temperature, soil color, and surface albedo. Therefore, we propose that the application of biochar in soils has considerable advantages, and this is especially true for arable soils with low fertility.

Deciphering physicochemical properties and enhanced microbial electron transfer capacity …
Magnetic biochar is important for improving the electron transfer capacity (ETC) of microorganisms in wastewater treatment. In this study, three magnetic biochar under different pyrolysis temperatures (300, 500 and 700 °C) were prepared by co-precipitation, and their characteristics and impacts on mediating microbial ETC were investigated. Results indicated that magnetic biochar had a higher capacitance and conductivity than pyrolytic biochar, with the largest specific capacitance of 14.7F/g for FCS700 (magnetic biochar prepared at 700 °C). The addition of magnetic biochar could improve the nitrogen removal efficiency of a sludge-biochar system. The electron transfer resistance (Rct) of magnetic biochar was lower than pyrolytic biochar by 25.5 % (300 °C), 19.7 % (500 °C), and 11.6 % (700 °C), respectively. The structure of the microbial community in the sludge-biochar system differed significantly. Spearman correlation suggested that the electrochemical properties of biochar were an important factor affecting the structure of the microbial community.

VGrid Energy Systems, Inc. Earns USDA Certified Biobased Product Label – Yahoo Finance
CAMARILLO, Calif., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — VGrid Energy Systems, Inc. announced today that it has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label. The product, Persist™ Biochar, is now able to display a unique USDA label that highlights its percentage of biobased content.
Third-party verification for a product’s biobased content is administered through the USDA BioPreferred Program, an initiative created by the 2002 Farm Bill (and recently reauthorized by the 2018 Farm Bill). One of the goals of the BioPreferred Program is to increase the development, purchase and use of biobased products.
The USDA Certified Biobased Product label displays a product’s biobased content, which is the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source, such as plant, animal, marine, or forestry feedstocks. Utilizing renewable, biobased materials displaces the need for non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals. Biobased products, through petroleum displacement, have played an increasingly important role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that exacerbate global climate change.
“With the USDA BioPreferred Program product label, VGrid can further demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our Persist™ premium biochar,” said Greg Campbell, CEO at VGrid Energy Systems. “Created from pistachio shells, a biowaste that would otherwise end up in the landfill, our premium biochar is helping homeowners, golf course superintendents, vineyard managers and many others use less water, generate long-term soil health and, ultimately, reverse climate change.”
Biobased products are cost-comparative, readily available, and perform as well as or better than their conventional counterparts.
“We applaud VGrid Energy Systems for earning the USDA Certified Biobased Product label,” said Vernell Thompson, USDA BioPreferred Program. “Products from VGrid Energy Systems are contributing to an ever-expanding marketplace that adds value to renewable agriculture commodities, creates jobs in rural communities, and decreases our reliance on petroleum.”
According to a report that USDA released in July 2019, biobased products contributed $459 billion to the U.S. economy in 2016 (a 17% increase from 2014) and support, directly and indirectly, 4.6 million jobs. The report’s research team estimates the reduction of fossil fuels and associated GHG emissions from biobased products equivalent to approximately 12 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) prevented as of 2016.
The increased production of renewable chemicals and biobased products contributes to the development and expansion of the U.S. bioeconomy – where society looks to agriculture for sustainable sources of fuel, energy, chemicals, and products.

About the USDA BioPreferred Program and Certified Biobased Product label
The BioPreferred Program is a USDA-led initiative that assists the development and expansion of markets for biobased products. The BioPreferred Program is transforming the marketplace for biobased products through two initiatives: mandatory purchasing requirements for Federal Agencies and Federal contractors and voluntary product certification and labeling.
Biobased products span a diverse range of applications, such as lubricants, cleaning products, chemicals and bioplastics. The USDA Certified Biobased Product label communicates a product’s biobased content. Expressed as a percentage, biobased content is the ratio of non-fossil organic carbon (new organic carbon) to total organic carbon in a product. New organic carbon is derived from recently created materials. The total organic carbon in a product consists of new organic carbon and old organic carbon that originates from fossil carbon materials, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas. More than 3,500 products have earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product label.

Rohit Sharma still optimistic about Pakistan-India Championship match – PiPa News
Rohit Sharma still optimistic about Pakistan-India Championship match
There won’t be another Pakistan vs India game in the Asia Cup 2022 after losing to Sri Lanka by six wickets in a match crucial to the Super Four stage of the tournament, but Indian captain Rohit Sharma is still optimistic about Pakistan-India final. competition.
In a post-match press conference after the loss to Sri Lanka, Indian captain Rohit Sharma assured the audience that Pakistan and India will once again face off in the Asia Cup final.
The Indian captain responded to the team’s second consecutive defeat in the competition, claiming that everyone in the team was capable and therefore they were competing in the Asia Cup. We are working to maintain a positive atmosphere in the locker room, he continued, despite the loss.
Sharma said that he is unhappy with Arshdeep Singh’s catch drop in the game against India, in response to the controversy surrounding it. “We don’t use social media and are confident to win.”
On Tuesday, Sri Lanka set up a strong run chase to beat India by six wickets and send their rivals home early from the Asia Cup. In the event that Pakistan beat Afghanistan on Wednesday, Sri Lanka will be their opponent in the final on Sunday, eliminating inductive India in the process.
Rice straw biochar reduces Cd accumulation and promotes Cu accumulation in rice – Springer
Biochar has become a research hotspot in soil heavy metal pollution remediation. However, there are few studies on the effect of biochar on the heavy metal accumulation in rice under different irrigation regimes, and there is very limited information on the soil heavy metal speciation changes during whole rice growth period. This study aims to clarify the effect and mechanism of biochar on Cd and Cu accumulation in rice grains under different irrigation regimes.
The rice straw biochar (0 g kg−1 (CK), 20 g kg−1 (BC20), 40 g kg−1 (BC40), and 60 g kg−1 (BC60)) was applied to the paddy soil (contaminated with Cd and Cu) under three irrigation regimes (flooding irrigation (FI), intermittent irrigation (II), and wet irrigation (WI)), and a rice pot experiment was carried out for two consecutive years. The speciation changes of Cd and Cu in the soil during the key stage of rice growth and the metal content of each part of the rice were analyzed.
Biochar promoted the formation of reducible and oxidizable Cd throughout the rice growth period, while the acid-extractable and residual forms were dynamic and affected by irrigation regimes. A significant reduction in acid-extractable Cu content was observed, and biochar mainly converted the acid-extractable Cu to oxidizable Cu, while reducible Cu was sensitive to soil water conditions. As biochar reduced soil available Cd content, BC60 decreased Cd content in brown rice by 50.41%, 70.32%, and 81.52% under FI, II, and WI, respectively, but the Cd content in brown rice was the lowest in FI. Biochar decreased the Cu content in brown rice under FI (maximum 31.2%), while significantly increased Cu content under II (maximum 74.33%) and WI (maximum 49.3%) because biochar increased soil available Cu content after rice heading stage and encouraged its transport from root to shoot.
Rice straw biochar can be used to control Cd pollution in rice under various irrigation regimes, and the effect is better when combined with flooding irrigation. The application of rice straw biochar to control crop Cu pollution is not suitable for water-saving irrigation.

Coupling biochar with microbial inoculants improves maize growth and nutrients acquisition …
Coupling of biochar along with microbial inoculants could increase the phosphorus (P) availability and efficiency under the P-deficient environment. However, the effects of biochar and microbes on soil P retention remain still unconcerned in the subtropical environment. In the present study, AMF Glomus mosseae and Bacillus J 119 were applied as microbial material into two texturally different soils (soil A and soil B) amended with two different biochar (Rice husk biochar, RHBC; poplar wood chip biochar, PWBC). Both soils and biochar properties significantly affected the mycorrhizal root colonization. Soil amended with RHBC significantly improved the root colonization and root surface area in the no-P environment. Additionally, plant root and shoot biomass significantly enhanced in the combination of B + AMF. Moreover, B + AMF enhanced macronutrients (N, P, K, and Ca) and micronutrient concentration (Mg, Mn, Cu, and Zn) in plant root and shoot with biochars and in the no-P application. Overall, biochar application in both soils might increase the availability of nutrients especially P for maize plants. However, the responses of both biochar and microbial inoculants were varied with soil and biochar types which need in-depth investigations, especially its residual effects at field conditions in different climatic conditions before final recommendations.

Biochar can mitigate the environmental impacts of agriculture – Innovation Origins
A new study carried out at the University of Helsinki shows biochar can be a promising tool in mitigating the environmental impacts of agriculture also in Finland, as written by the university in a press release.
In his doctoral study, Subin Kalu found that biochar addition to soil can reduce nitrogen leaching from agricultural soils to waterways, and reduce the emissions of N2O – a potent greenhouse gas.
The high specific surface area and porous structure of biochar can improve the retention of soil water and nutrients in the soil, and thus their availability to crops. Biochar can also alter the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils which could eventually reduce greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching. Whether these beneficial effects after a single application of biochar persist for the long-term, especially in boreal climates, has remained unknown so far.
“It is also essential to find out the long-term effects of biochar before its widespread application to soils, to detect if biochar would have any detrimental effects because it is not possible to remove it once it has been applied to the soil,” says Kalu.
Kalu studied the long-term effects of biochars in four different agricultural field experiments in southern Finland where biochars had been applied two to eight years ago. Kalu says, “Although the effects of biochars were not consistent throughout these years, some improvements in plant growth were observed when the previous growing seasons were planted with legumes. This special biochar and pre-crop effect warrant further study”.
“In some cases, biochars showed tendencies to improve agricultural benefits such as increases in crop yield, soil nitrate retention, and plant nitrogen uptake while reducing the negative environmental effects such as decreases in soil N2O emissions and nitrate leaching”.
Even if the observed positive agricultural and environmental effects were not consistent in all fields in the long term, researchers detected no negative effects of biochar over the study periods. This indicates that the application of biochar in agricultural soils is a safe way of enhancing soil carbon storage.

Shuttered Greenville Steam Co. could become a biomass processing facility
GREENVILLE — A company plans to install a biochar manufacturing line at the shuttered Greenville Steam Co. biomass power plant.
Biochar is a charcoal made from heated organic material, such as forest and agricultural waste, also known as biomass.
Clean Maine Carbon, LLC filed an application for an air emission license through the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, which was approved for processing Aug. 31, Deputy Commissioner David Madore said. The company plans to build a kiln that will convert wood material to biochar in an oxygen-deprived environment at the facility at 185 Greenville Steam Road.
Clean Maine Carbon’s vision is to be profitable, provide high-quality jobs in Piscataquis County — though it’s unclear how many — and bring clean energy to northern Maine. Good jobs are often hard to come by in Piscataquis, Maine’s poorest county, and maintaining a clean environment is important for the recreational tourism economy that supports much of the population.
“Once operational, the owners will prioritize securing skilled labor and goods from the surrounding communities,” the website said.
To date, the company has invested more than $4 million to bring Greenville Biomass online, according to its website.
Clean Maine Carbon anticipates equipment to be delivered in mid-November, according to the construction schedule outlined in the application. Installation and start-up should be completed by January 2023.
A group of lifelong Mainers primarily owns Clean Maine Carbon, according to its website. The company’s application lists Patrick Jones of Dade City, Florida, as its president. The authorized agent from Resource Policy Group and controller are also based in Florida.
Greenville Biomass began operating in the mid-1980s, and for nearly two decades, the facility was a strong employer in the region, according to Clean Maine Carbon’s website. When the regulatory landscape changed, it became more challenging to remain profitable, and Clean Maine Carbon bought the facility in 2017. If the state approves an air emission license, the facility will once again be functional.
Once constructed, the manufacturing line will process about 2,200 pounds per hour of green wood, which has been recently cut and hasn’t had a chance to dry. It will yield about one-fourth ton of biochar for each ton of green wood processed, according to the application.
Clean Maine Carbon will provide biochar to NextChar, a company based in Amherst, Massachusetts, on a regular basis, according to a comment from NextChar CEO Stephan Rogers on the website.
The proposed equipment has the potential to emit air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide, the application said.
As part of Maine DEP’s regulations, Clean Maine Carbon will need to demonstrate that emissions from the proposed equipment will receive Best Available Control Technology, or BACT.

The majority of the Financing ($375,000) was provided by insiders of the Company and the remainder ($250,000) was provided by existing shareholders. The debt has an interest rate of 1% monthly and a term of five-months. At the Company’s option, the debt may be prepaid without penalty on or after the date that is one month after the date of closing.
CHAR Technologies intends to use the net proceeds of the Financing to advance the development of both contracted and earlier stage projects and for general working capital needs. The Company is pursuing additional funding for the development of various projects and believes it will soon receive funding and funding commitments for a portion of costs for its planned (500,000 GJ) showcase facility in Thorold. “We are at a very exciting juncture in our commercialization of our renewable energy technologies to produce both renewable natural gas (RNG) and biochar to provide solutions to Canadian strategic industries,” stated Andrew White, CEO. “This small financing will bridge us to other sources of funding as we develop our capital structure for our future expansion,” he added.
The Financing has been provided by existing shareholders, and current and former directors, executive officers, business associates and employees, some of whom are insiders of the Company. Such participation by insiders in the Financing constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). However, such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves related parties of the Company, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. As required by MI 61-101, the Company advises that it will file a material change report relating to the Financing less than 21 days before completion of the Offering, which is reasonable in the circumstances because such lesser time period is necessary to complete the Financing in an expeditious manner.
No commissions or fees are payable in connection with the Financing. The closing of the Financing may be subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of any necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the applicable securities regulatory authorities.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Evaluation of Biochar and Salicylic Acid Application on Soil Biochemical Properties and … – Springer
Considering the negative consequences of water crisis in agriculture, strategies need to be developed to mitigate the adverse effects of drought stress. This study investigates the effect of applying biochar, as a stable carbon-rich soil conditioner, and salicylic acid, as an elicitor, on soil biochemical properties and some growth parameters of Borago officinalis L. under water deficit conditions. This experiment was conducted as a split plot factorial experiment based on a completely randomized block design (RCBD) with four replications. Factors were irrigation regimes as water deficit treatments, including 100%, 75% and 50% water requirement (WR) in the main plots and application of biochar (0, 5, and 10 ton ha−1) and foliar application of salicylic acid (0, 0.5 mM) in the sub-plots in two growing seasons (2016–2018). The results of this study indicated that application of 5 and 10 ton ha−1 biochar increased soil pH and soil organic carbon (SOC). Biochar was effective on soil nitrogen only in 75% WR, and increased the amount of ammonium in the soil by 5 ton ha−1 in all irrigation regimes but decreased the soil nitrate. Furthermore, decreasing irrigation regimes increased ammonium and decreased soil nitrate in both cropping years. Reducing the irrigation regimes negatively reduced the soil respiration rate, which was improved by the application of biochar at 5 ton ha−1 in both years. Application of salicylic acid alone and in combination with biochar mitigated the adverse effects of water deficit. Co-application of salicylic acid and biochar increased plant growth parameters, including (flowering branches dry matter, leaf dry matter, shoot dry matter, and the plant height), and SOC under water deficit conditions. It can be concluded that both alone and combined applications of treatments mitigate the adverse effect of water deficit by soil biochemical properties improvement and enhances growth parameters of borage.

Biochar Market Developments, Trends, Production, Supply and Demand Analysis and
According to the most recent analysis by Emergen Research, the global Biochar Market had a value of USD 160.9 million in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a rate of 12.1% during the forecast period. Biochar is charcoal produced by carefully heating waste products including animal dung, wood refuse, and agricultural waste. Among all of the final applications, it is frequently employed as a soil amendment to lessen pollutants and hazardous elements as well as to avoid soil leaching, moisture loss, and fertiliser runoff. Greater opportunities for market expansion are projected to result from environmental awareness, lower raw material costs, and unified government policies for waste management.
Due to the absence of many large-scale manufacturers and the rising number of small- and medium-sized businesses, particularly in North America and Europe, the industry is divided into the organised and unorganised sectors. Due to a lack of knowledge about the advantages of the products and their long-term benefits, the economies of the Asia Pacific and Middle Eastern countries are predicted to grow more slowly. High-quality biochar must be produced with significant financial commitment. It caused a number of businesses to abandon the industry during the past several years.
The full potential of biochar is yet to realize in other sectors than the agricultural sector. It is used as a fabric additive in the textile industry, as a raw material in the manufacturing of building materials and as a shield against electromagnetic radiation in the electronics industry. Growing demand from the food sector is expected to be an extremely important factor in boosting the biochar market growth.
Key companies operating in the Biochar Market include:
Agri-Tech Producers, LLC, Diacarbon Energy Inc., Biochar Products, Inc., Phoenix Energy Group, BIOCHAR INNOVATIONS PTE LTD, Bioforcetech Corp., Airex nergie Inc., Aries Clean Technologies, Mai Animal Health, and Wakefield Biochar.

Producers of Biochar Receive Funding to Expand Their Customer Base
Players in the biochar market are seeking investments to broaden their product offerings and advance their technological capabilities. Additionally, companies like Shopify and Microsoft are buying biochar carbon credits to offset their carbon emissions. Additionally, in June 2021, Nasdaq Inc. acquired control of Puro.earth Oy, a trading platform that purchases carbon credits from engineered carbon removal techniques like biochar. Aside from that
Three Maine-based U.S. institutions provided $2 million (EUR 1.7 million) in funding to Standard Biocarbon Corporation in October 2021 for the purchase of machinery for generating biochar at the old location of the Great Northern Paper Mill in East Millinocket.
Sustainable Thinking Scotland, an environmental social company that supports community-scale green waste recycling and promotes local sustainable food production, received a EUR 190,000 investment from FirstPort and Social Enterprise Scotland’s Catalyst Fund in September 2021. Its biochar water treatment method, which involves baking scrap wood and other biomass at high temperatures, was given this funding in order to improve it. Biochar can pull carbon from the atmosphere into the soil, where it can be stored for hundreds to thousands of years.

The application of straw biochar in farmland in Dongting Lake area can realize the resource utilization of straw and reduce environmental risk. In 2020, a rice pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different biochar application levels on ammonia volatilization rate, cumulative ammonia volatilization, pH value, and NH4+-N concentration in surface water. Six levels of reed (Miscanthus lutarioriparius) biochar amount, i.e., 0%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% of soil weight of the 0-20 cm column, were applied in two typical paddy soils in sou-thern China, i.e., reddish clayey soil derived from quaternary red soil and granitic sandy soil derived from granite. Compound fertilizer was applied at a rate of 200 kg N·hm-2. The results showed that biochar application resulted in significant differences in the rate and cumulative amount of ammonia volatilization between the two soils and among different biochar treatments. For the granitic sandy soil, peak ammonia volatilization under different biochar treatments appeared at the second day after fertilization, which was decreased by 23.6%-53.4%. For the reddish clayey soil, peak ammonia volatilization appeared between the 7th to 13th day after fertilization, which increased with biochar addition level. The rate of ammonia volatilization from the granitic sandy soil was generally higher than that from the reddish clayey soil. For the granitic sandy soil, addition of <4% biochar could inhibit the ammonia volatilization and cumulative volatilization amount, with the greatest reduction (46.9%) at the treatment with 2% biochar addition. The addition of biochar did not affect the pH value of surface water at the early stage of rice growth. For the reddish clayey soil, the pH value and NH4+-N concentration in the surface water increased with biochar addition level, resulting in the increases of ammonia volatilization rate and cumulative volatilization amount by 1.3-10.5 times. Biochar addition level was the key factor affecting ammonia volatilization from the two soils. Elovich equation could well fit the variation trend of cumulative ammonia volatilization with time for the two soils, with the correlation reaching extremely significant level for each treatment. Overall, the application of reed biochar could suppress ammonia volatilization from the granitic sandy soil which was nearly neutral in acidity, while would promote ammonia volatilization via increasing pH value and NH4+-N concentration of surface water for the acidic reddish clayey soil. Therefore, appropriate dosages of reed biochar should be selected for different types of soil in order to reduce nitrogen loss.
在洞庭湖区农田施用秸秆生物炭不仅能实现秸秆资源化利用,还可降低环境污染压力。本研究于2020年采用水稻盆栽试验,研究了不同南荻秸秆生物炭施用量对土壤氨挥发速率、累积氨挥发量、表面水pH值和NH4+-N浓度的影响。供试土壤为第四纪红土发育的红黄泥和花岗岩发育的麻砂泥水稻土,设置6个南荻秸秆生物炭添加处理,即分别以土柱0～20 cm土壤重量的0%、1%、2%、4%、6%和8%比例添加生物炭,每盆施用复合肥200 kg N·hm-2。结果表明: 施用生物炭导致两种土壤之间或不同生物炭处理之间的氨挥发速率和累积量均存在显著差异。麻砂泥施用生物炭处理在施肥后第2天出现氨挥发峰值,且较不施生物炭处理峰值降低了23.6%～53.4%;红黄泥氨挥发峰值出现在施肥后第7～13天,且其峰值随着生物炭添加量的增加而升高。整体上,麻砂泥土壤的氨挥发速率均高于红黄泥。麻砂泥土壤＜4%生物炭添加量能抑制土壤氨挥发速率及累积量,其中以2%处理降幅最大(46.9%),但生物炭添加对水稻生长前期表面水pH值的影响不显著;红黄泥土壤随着南荻生物炭用量的增加,表面水中pH值和NH4+-N浓度增加,导致氨挥发速率及累积量增幅达1.3～10.5倍。回归分析显示,生物炭添加量是影响两种土壤氨挥发的关键因素。Elo-vich方程能较好地拟合两种土壤的氨挥发累积量随时间的变化动态,各施炭处理的相关系数均达极显著水平。总体上,对于偏中性的麻砂泥土壤,施用一定量的南荻生物炭对氨排放有一定的抑制作用,而对于酸性的红黄泥土壤,增施南荻生物炭会通过提高表面水的pH值和NH4+-N浓度促进氨挥发,因此针对不同类型土壤施用南荻秸秆生物炭应注意选择适宜用量,以降低氮素损失。.

Suitable biochar type and optimum ridge width for sainfoin production in ridge-furrow … – Springer
Environmentally friendly mulching material and appropriate tillage practice are needed to solve plastic film residues in agricultural production in ridge-furrow rainwater harvesting technology (RFRHT) in the Loess Plateau in China.
A field experiment in randomized block design was conducted to (1) investigate the runoff coefficient for three ridge widths (30, 45, and 60 cm) using three ridge mulching materials (ridges compacted with soil (RCS), maize straw biochar-soil mixture (SBM), and cow dung biochar-soil mixture (DBM)); (2) the effects of three ridge widths using three ridge mulching materials on soil moisture, temperature, nutrients, fodder yield, quality, and water use efficiency (WUE) of sainfoin and conventional flat planting (FP) as a control, during two consecutive sainfoin-growing years: 2017 and 2018.
The predicted runoff coefficient for RCS30, RCS45, RCS60, SBM30, SBM45, SBM60, DBM30, DBM45, and DBM60 (subscripts 30, 45, and 60 referred to ridge widths) was 0.31, 0.33, 0.34, 0.26, 0.30, 0.31, 0.22, 0.24, and 0.25, respectively, over 2 years. DBM had a higher concentration of total nitrogen and organic matter compared to SBM, while SBM had a higher concentration of Olsen phosphorus and available potassium compared to DBM. The higher runoff coefficient and soil moisture in SBM led to higher fodder yield, WUE, and condensed tannin content of sainfoin, compared to DBM. Compared to FP, in RCS, fodder yield and WUE of sainfoin decreased by 8.8–17.8% and 0.6–2.6 kg ha−1 mm−1, respectively. Condensed tannins concentration of sainfoin for RCS, SBM, and DBM increased by 4.1 −9.0%, 11.4 −21.8%, and 9.4 −15.2%, respectively. Fodder yield in SBM and DBM increased by 14.3 −19.5% and 7.1 −10.0%, respectively, while WUE in SBM and DBM increased by 6.7 −8.5 and 4.7 −5.5 kg ha−1 mm−1.
Ridges compacted with biochar-soil mixture, especially with maize straw biochar-soil mixture, increased fodder yield, WUE, and condensed tannin content of sainfoin. The optimum ridge width in SBM and DBM for sainfoin production was 46–49 and 41 cm, respectively.

The efficient thing to do is render them into charcoal, yes. Biochar is a great – Hacker News
Biochar is a great soil amendment, and doesn't oxidize over decades or even centuries, depending. Putting it back in the mines is an option, if we ever need to stop rebuilding topsoil, which is itself getting urgent.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) > Biomass feedstocks doesn't have a pivot table of conversion efficiencies?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_… :
> Biomass sources used in BECCS include agricultural residues & waste, forestry residue & waste, industrial & municipal wastes, and energy crops specifically grown for use as fuel. Current BECCS projects capture CO2 from ethanol bio-refinery plants and municipal solid waste (MSW) recycling center.
> A variety of challenges must be faced to ensure that biomass-based carbon capture is feasible and carbon neutral. Biomass stocks require availability of water and fertilizer inputs, which themselves exist at a nexus of environmental challenges in terms of resource disruption, conflict, and fertilizer runoff.
If you keep taking hemp off a field without leaving some down, you'll probably need fertilizer (see: KNF, JADAM,) and/or soil amendments to be able to rotate something else through; though it's true that hemp grows without fertilizer.
> A second major challenge is logistical: bulky biomass products require transportation to geographical features that enable sequestration. [27]
