Advances in biochar research in Brazil.

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: To mitigate global warming, major changes in the global carbon balance are expected as the world's larger economies migrate to energy matrices that emit less greenhouse gases (GHG).Alternatives of carbon-neutral technologies have led to significant alterations in the global balance of carbon.One example is biochar, which is any source of biomass previously heated under low or no oxygen supply with the purpose of application on soil.This review aims to give an overview about the research carried out in Brazil on biochar-to-soil technology, from its structural characterization to field trials all over the country.
