    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.
