Energy Balance is a series of essays on the matter of future energy

Posted on September 21, 2008
Following my last posting, I have been thinking further about biochar and the likelihood of it being used as a long-term form in which to store carbon captured from the atmosphere by photosynthesising plants which are then pyrolysed to yield this relatively stable form of carbon (which may be tilled into soil) along with a release of energy and other useful liquid and gaseous products, some of...
