Just KevinMaking our solar gardens also become carbon sequestration farms is something that we totally need to do. Ask me how we can do that even better via <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23BioChar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BioChar</a> is you're interested.

DoomsdaysCWSo, a few months back, someone posted about using <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biochar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biochar</a> as an ingredient in seed starter. It seems biochar has a lot of potential good uses -- including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PFAS</a> remediation!"This project aims to investigate whether biochar can be used as a soil amendment to immobilize PFAS in the soil and reduce its bioaccumulation in the edible parts of vegetable crops, such as lettuce and tomatoes. The study will address several key questions: the optimal application rate of biochar in the soil, the frequency with which additional biochar should be applied after the initial amendment, and low-cost modification techniques to enhance biochar's ability to adsorb short-chain PFAS from the soil. This research will involve both laboratory and field studies. The findings will contribute to developing practical guidelines for farmers on the use of biochar in PFAS-affected soils."<a href="https://www.maine.gov/dacf/ag/pfas/pfas-fund-research.shtml" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.maine.gov/dacf/ag/pfas/pfas-fund-research.shtml</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Research</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoilRemediation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoilRemediation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoilHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoilHealth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFASPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PFASPollution</a>

Hippy Steveohh. Compost & Biochar Could Boost Carbon Sequestration by Crushed Rock Crushed rock additives may also help decrease soil emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as nitrous oxide & methane. <a href="https://eos.org/research-spotlights/compost-and-biochar-could-boost-carbon-sequestration-by-crushed-rock" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://eos.org/research-spotlights/compost-and-biochar-could-boost-carbon-sequestration-by-crushed-rock</a> [science mag]Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a proposed method of CO2 <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/sequestration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sequestration</a> that spreads crushed silicate minerals on soils to drive chemical reactions that form carbonate minerals: Essentially, boosting the natural process of rock weathering, in which carbon is transferred from the atmosphere into rocks.Researchers spread finely crushed metabasaltic rocks across test plots in Browns Valley CA in each of 3 yrs. Along with crushed rock, some applications included compost or a combination of compost & <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/biochar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biochar</a>. Other plots were treated with only compost, & a group of control plots received no treatment. Combining crushed rock, compost, & biochar yielded the best results; in addition to sequestering carbon, the mixture reduced NOx emissions & increased methane conversion, resulting in increased greenhouse gas mitigation overall. The researchers estimate that if the combination of all three materials were expanded to cover 8% of California’s total rangelands, it could sequester up to 51.7 million metric tons of CO2e per year. ___CA Ag Sector emissions are 32 million metric tons [including cow farts]. CA total emissions are 381 million metric tons. If 58% of rangeland were covered, we would become carbon neutral.

foundseedwe’re getting some consistent open garden hours going! someone will be around on Fridays and Saturdays this month, tending to the garden, working on projects, and happy to answer questions or visit with neighbors. foundseed open garden hours are welcome to anyone, to come by, help out, donate, or sit on our rug with us. We plan to do a biochar lesson this Saturday, after dusk, so come by if you want to learn! 🌱<a href="https://spore.social/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityGarden</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/GuerrillaGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GuerrillaGardening</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/PNWgardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PNWgardening</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/biochar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biochar</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/pdx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdx</a>

This analysis shows that LCA can support MRV protocols by providing critical insights into baselines, additionality, uncertainty, multifunctionality, environmental safeguards, holistic emission factors, and overlooked carbon pools. 🔌💡 <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ClimateSky" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateSky</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23BioChar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BioChar</a> RE: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:fqdrze44h7i5gf63sugvpucf/post/3llohfpnm522m" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:fqdrze44h7i5gf63sugvpucf/post/3llohfpnm522m</a>

Homestead CultureThere are a lot of fancy ways to make Biochar, but I prefer the simple slash pile method.We burn slash (dead branches) anyway to reduce hazardous fuels around our home, so why not make charcoal for the garden!?Lots of people make biochar a science, but I tend to see it more as an art.🔥 Please burn responsibly.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/permaculturegarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permaculturegarden</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biochar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biochar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sequestercarbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sequestercarbon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardenideas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardenideas</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homesteadskills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homesteadskills</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homesteader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homesteader</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sustainablegardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainablegardening</a>

Hippy Steve<a href="https://mastodon.social/@georgebaily" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@georgebaily</a> That's why <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/biochar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biochar</a> and <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/RegenerativeAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RegenerativeAgriculture</a> are so important. Both ultimately sequester carbon into the soil. With Regen Ag for about 30 years. With biochar you get 1000+year stable carbon.Both are short natural carbon cycle hacks, so you're taking biomass that would ordinarily return to the atmosphere through natural 20-30 year processes and instead sequestering a significant portion in such a way as to increase and improve resiliency of food production.Technological carbon capture is just an excuse to burn more fossil fuels.

Ein Köhler<a href="https://troet.cafe/@Irisfreundin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Irisfreundin</a> not sure what the point of that statement is.<a href="https://social.la10cy.net/tags/biochar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biochar</a> is very ecological by about any metric you can put on it. And like i burn and donate away my coal, that can't be called profit oriented. It is even very traditional and thousands of years old. Check terra pretta as keyword.But it seems you just don't like it based on gut feeling. Nothing i can do about that.

New research suggests it stays trapped for much longer than scientists thought.""For all its plant and animal life aboveground, the Amazon rainforest’s soils are surprisingly poor in nutrients necessary for growing food. Thousands of years ago, the region’s Indigenous peoples solved this problem by creating “terra preta” from table scraps and charcoal and tucking it away in the hostile soil.""As biomass like trees and crops grow, they sequester carbon in their leaves and branches. Heat that biomass up without fully consuming it and it turns to nearly pure carbon known as biochar,""The nagging question, though, is exactly how long that carbon stays in the soil. A new study adds to a growing body of evidence that scientists have been underestimating the staying power of biochar, meaning the technology is actually an even more powerful way to store carbon than previously thought.""Nailing down exactly how long biochar can hold onto carbon is crucial for the carbon-removal credit industry, where companies like Microsoft and Google fund projects to draw carbon out of the atmosphere.""Much as humans eat food off dishes instead of eating the dishes themselves, bacteria and fungi choose to eat organic matter like leaves over biochar. “It’s kind of like if you have a nice piece of cake and they bring it to us on a plate, we’re going to eat the cake,” Sanei said. “If we are very hungry, we eat it much faster.

Without intervention, this waste decomposes and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Minneapolis’ new facility aims to reduce emissions by capturing carbon in <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/biochar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biochar</a> which remains stable in the soil for over a thousand years.
