China starts large scale biochar production

[Thomas Goreau]

If China scales this promising start up to much higher levels, and the rest of the world follows suit, CO2 might be reduced to safe pre-industrial concentrations in decades.

It takes 100,000 tons of crop wastes and stops them from rotting or being burned, avoiding two major sources of greenhouse gas, and makes biochar fertilizer that reduces the use of chemicals and earns the average farmer 150-250 yuan ($20-40) more per day from produce. Each sack of biochar fertilizer is a dollar cheaper than chemical fertilizer. China built 20 of these this year, one every 3 weeks. It is just starting. 45 more are under construction, 200 planned. Simple, scalable, shovel ready. Megatons of carbon removed from the sky, made into charcoal and buried. Albert Bates with IBI Board members Dr. Genxing Pan and Kathleen Draper.
