Biochar is a charcoal-like solid carbon substance produced via thermal pyrolysis of biomass under low oxygen conditions. Biochar carbon removal is a cornerstone of Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) strategies. It sequesters atmospheric COâ‚‚ by leveraging the growth of plants through photosynthesis and converting biomass into stable biochar. Biochar is resistant to decomposition and it has a storage duration of over 100 years, thus locking carbon away while enhancing soil health.
