Oxfordbiochar

Over at bigbiocharexperiment.co.uk/ you can find really interesting stuff about biochar and even the instructions on how to start your own experiments. The pages are really easily read and I for one will investigate them further.

National Geographic on biochar

Put the word biochar into google and one of the top results is this article featured on the NG homepage. I think it was worth mentioning since it debates a lot of the issues and possibilities with biochar on a global scale as well as benefits for the individual.

Charcoal dust

I came across this video and I have to say, I don't know how to react. The idea is good, yes, but the execution is not optimal to say the least. On the other hand it shows what could be done differently. I mean the technique is 5000 years old...

Introducing BalBic

I came across this website this morning. The Baltic Bioenergy and Industrial Charcoal company is:

"a renewable energy development project, which aims to develop the use of biocoal in the Baltic Sea region."

 If I'm not mistaken, this is one of a few Finnish companies that produce and study biocoal/biochar. An neven more interesting thing is that some of the authors of some of the material seem to be working here in my neighborhood. I plan to make contact and if I'm lucky maybe get a guided tour or some answers for my questions. Exciting times!

2nd Nordic Biochar Seminar Towards a carbon negative agriculture

This is the event of the year!

Nordic association of agricultural sciences soil water environment horticulture

Unfortunately I won't be going... €300 for a couple of seminaries is frankly, robbery...

I can't help it: must share!

The Results Are In… Again! Read the astonishing news from the re:char team in western Kenya.

Happy new year

An apology is in order since a few months have passed since the last update. This year will hopefully be filled with a lot of interesting news about biochar. I am just one exam short of my masters degree and the future lies open. Who knows, if I am working full time with biochar in a few months. Nobody knows.

So, these are my wishes and dreams for the year 2013.
