    It seems unfair to say that we’re saving on CO2 and methane from decomposition without also counting the cost of the biochar combustion.

    Biochar is still a pretty new concept, but results are promising as a potential overall carbon negative process.

      Carbon negative when applied to soil. Making it is still a carbon releasing combustion process

      EDIT okay I’m wrong they are including the production in their calculations.

      Biochar has been used for 2000+ years, so it is NOT a new concept. Look up Terra Preta. This is biochar enhanced soil found in the amazon.

      we should turn food waste into biochar instead of letting it turn into methane in landfills
