Biochar in global carbon cycle: Towards sustainable development goals

Current Research in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8, P. 100409 - 100409

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

The world is currently facing significant challenges in reducing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through scientific methods, primarily by sequestering CO2 soil. Biochar a kind charcoal that composed carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Due to its aromatic content, biochar can persist environment for an extended period absorb greenhouse gases (GHG). Each year, effectively captures estimated amount ranging from 1 35 gigatons (GtCO2) 78 477 GtCO2 over this century. helps mitigate climate change soil periods consequently GHG emissions. This enhances fertility, water retention capacity, nutrient circulation, which promote higher crop yields. Biochar's by-products be harvested used as renewable energy source. Besides, integration effective waste management strategies organic disposal. also efficient purification element favors action. Through application alteration employed establish credits, methods reduce emissions acceptable level. unique properties, wide-spread applicability, cost-effectiveness, trustworthy development prospects demonstrate great potential towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). review discusses diverse applications, social technical impacts global cycle sustainable goals.

Globally, the companies that make commercial use of bamboo culms produce different kinds solid waste rich in lignocellulosic biomass, which some cases is not used and discarded landfills or incinerated open air; losing possibility recovering them using other productive sectors. The research objective were to a biochar from Guadua agustifolia Kunth sawdust, evaluate its potential environmental agricultural use, obtain biochar/TiO2 composite inactivate Escherichia coli as soil conditioner medicinal plants producing phenolic compounds flavonoids. Biochar (produced at 300 °C for 1 h) involved TiO2 450 h inactivation E. (initial concentration: 6.5 ± 0.3 Log10 CFU mL− 1). For agriculture, 2% was B. pilosa L.

Biochar as an Environment-Friendly Alternative for Multiple Applications

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(18), P. 13421 - 13421

Published: Sept. 7, 2023

The climate crisis and years of unsustainable agricultural practices have reduced soil fertility crop yield. In addition, lands contribute more than 10% greenhouse gases (GHGs). These concerns can be addressed by using biochar for carbon neutralization, environmental restoration, management. Biochar has a role in nitrous oxide methane gas emission mitigation from soil. New methods are needed to link belowground processes functioning multi-species multi-cultivar agroecosystems. intricate relationship between the composition microbial communities, along with its impacts on functions within rhizosphere, constitutes highly perplexing elusive subject genomics. present review discusses how mitigate change, enhance sequestration, support productivity. could potential solution microplastics heavy metal contamination.

The urgent need to accelerate permanent anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) abatement has led a growing interest in in-situ CO2 mineralisation globally. This review outlines the progress of Australia and New Zealand, while focusing on potential sink reservoirs for mineralisation, including magnesium-rich calcium-rich ultramafic mafic rocks. These rock types are abundant various regions across both countries. first begins by highlighting current status Australian Zealand emissions national goals. It then previews currently funded capture, utilisation, storage (CCUS) projects countries discusses where stands complement other methods. Secondly, it details different mechanisms within selected types/complexes followed discussion limitations advantages each major type/complex countries, relative distances between deposits emission hotspots. Finally, this we examine governmental funding perception enhanced two An example Mount Keith Ultramafic Complex (MKUC) is also presented, which shows relationship permeability, expected injection, estimated cost per ton direct pumping into low permeability Peridotite deposits. results show an inversely proportional injection rate, thus stored. calculations clearly demonstrate that limiting factor not availability but rather significant government incentives present attractive breakeven can compete market. slight advantage due 2-fold higher pricing compared Australia.
