Sustainable Use of Biochar

The present book Sustainable Use of Biochar - From Basics to Advances compiles detailed information on a thoughtful approach that maximizes biochar's benefits while minimizing potential environmental and social impacts. To achieve this, it's crucial to start with sustainable sourcing of biomass, ensuring it comes from renewable and responsibly managed sources. During the pyrolysis process, adopting efficient technologies that reduce emissions and energy consumption contributes to sustainability. Quality control measures, such as monitoring biochar's properties like particle size and nutrient content, ensure its effectiveness in soil improvement and carbon sequestration. Application rates should be tailored to soil types and crop needs, supported by long-term monitoring to assess biochar's impact on soil health, greenhouse gas emissions, and crop productivity. Integrating biochar with other sustainable agricultural practices and promoting knowledge sharing further enhances its sustainable use, fostering resilience and environmental stewardship in agriculture. This book has information on sustainable agricultural practices, and promoting knowledge sharing further enhances its sustainable use, fostering resilience and environmental stewardship in agriculture. Biochar applications are able to cope with global challenges in soil management, and ecological approaches can restore the damaged ecosystem. The present book will be helpful to researchers, the scientific community, academics, business farmers, and policymakers to overcome various environmental concerns.
