biochar and carbon sequestration

Biochar is a type of charcoal produced by heating organic materials such as wood or agricultural waste in a low-oxygen environment. It is used to improve soil fertility and retain nutrients, as well as to mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration. Carbon sequestration refers to the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, preventing it from being released into the environment and contributing to global warming. In the context of biochar, carbon sequestration refers to the ability of biochar to store carbon in the soil for an extended period, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable land management practices.
