Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its soil incorporation is increasingly discussed as a means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. When deployed in agricultural...

We investigate the socially optimal anthropogenic intervention into the global carbon cycle. The limiting factor for this intervention is the accumulation of carbon in the atmosphere, which causes global warming. We apply a simplified two-box model to incorporate aspects of the global carbon...

Seit einigen Jahren wird Biokohle - ein kohlenstoffreiches Produkt aus Biomasse - als eine viel versprechende Klimaschutzoption diskutiert. Insbesondere besteht die Möglichkeit, der Atmosphäre langfristig Kohlenstoffdioxid zu entziehen, indem Biokohle in den Boden eingearbeitet wird....

In recent years, there has been much discussion about biochar - a carbonaceous product made of biomass - as a promising technique for mitigating climate change. In particular, this method has the potential to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for the long term by incorporating biochar...
