Biochar can help turn agricultural waste into clean hydrogen fuel while cutting carbon pollution, according to a new study in ...

Robert Brown, director of Iowa State University’s Bioeconomy Institute, is adapting fast pyrolysis, a process where biomass crops when heated in the absence of oxygen decompose into syngas, bio-oil ...

Biochar is a “charcoal-like substance that’s made by burning organic material from agricultural and forestry wastes (also called biomass) in a controlled process called pyrolysis,” according to ...

AMES, Iowa – Heat up stalks, stems, leaves or wood in a reactor with little or no oxygen (in a process called pyrolysis) and you get bio-oil for fuel and biochar for fertilizer. There’s always a ...

If you take organic waste, subject it to high heat and starve it of oxygen, you will, through a process called pyrolysis, wind up with a pile of char — also known these days as biochar — that doesn’t ...
