Biochar Technology for Carbon Sequestration

Biochar technology offers a promising solution for carbon sequestration, enabling the capture and long-term storage of carbon in soils while improving soil fertility and supporting sustainable agricultural practices. This program explores the science behind biochar production from organic waste materials through pyrolysis and its potential to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Participants will learn how biochar enhances soil properties, retains nutrients, and boosts agricultural yields while playing a significant role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon.
The course will delve into the technical aspects of biochar production, including feedstock selection, production methods, and application techniques. Additionally, participants will explore case studies on how biochar is used in various regions for sustainable agriculture, carbon credits, and climate mitigation projects. Ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, and market opportunities for biochar-based carbon credits will also be addressed, providing a holistic view of biochar’s role in a low-carbon economy.
