Biochar harkens back to the ancient practices of carbon sequestration and wood-burning pyrolysis, where trees and other organic materials were heated in low oxygen conditions to produce a black, porous and high-carbon-content product known as biochar. The process has been used by cultures worldwide to improve agricultural soil, sequester carbon, and stabilize nutrients.
Though the modern term "biochar" was coined in 2006, its use dates back thousands of years. Historical
Research on modern biochar production has shed light on its potential as a carbon sequestration tool and
Case studies and field experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of biochar in various settings, including tropical
