Upscaling Biochar as a Soil Amendment and Waste Management Technology - Lessons from Agricultural History

Explore the potential and challenges of upscaling biochar as a carbon sequestration and soil improvement technology in this 58-minute webinar from the Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal. Delve into the findings of a new study that draws parallels between biochar development and historical agricultural innovations like fertilizer, ethanol fuel, and compost. Gain insights into the complex social, economic, and political factors that influence the large-scale implementation of biochar in agriculture and waste management systems. Learn from panelist Cameron Roberts, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin Madison Centre for Sustainability and the Global Environment, as he discusses the study's conclusions. Moderated by Wil Burns, Co-Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy, this October 2023 webinar offers a comprehensive look at the multifaceted challenges of scaling up biochar technology beyond simple financial incentives.
