Can Biochar create energy independence?
Biomass pyrolysis facilities create new local jobs, businesses, energy, and financial cycles to raise rural community incomes. Farming benefits, because Biochar boosts soil fertility while reducing purchased fertilizers and sequestering CO2. Farmers can use biofuel as on-farm energy, plus sell surplus energy. Carbon credits and renewable energy are new revenue sources. Energy and fertilizer become decentralized, distributed, reducing oil and gas import dependence, while supporting regional energy production competitive with fossil fuels. This carbon-negative energy production doesnt cut trees or divert food crops. Instead, crop residues and biomass wastes produce hydrogen, methane, syngas, electricity, bio-oils, ethanoland Biochar, to renew soil and boost productivity.
