In the Kristellnacht/ Dancing on the Grave of Freedom thread I posted several pictures of technologies which could create a lot of jobs equivalent to building cars and refining petroleum; from high-tech advances like wind turbines, tidal turbines, solar power and mag-lev trains to advanced forestry techniques. We can also include biodiesel (from waste grease) and ethanol (from cellulosic waste), cool roofs, LED lights, carbon sequestration and no-till farming.
But, when I first saw this about five years ago, I thought HUH, and wondered if anything would become of it.
Well, here it is....
The millenium-old technique called "bio char"
Quote:
For centuries indigenous South Americans living in the Amazon Basin used a combination of charred animal waste and wood to make "terra preta," which means black earth, in Portuguese. Thousands of years later, the terra preta soil remains fertile without need for any added fertilizer, experts say.
"These terra preta soils are older than 500 years and they are still black soil and very rich in carbon," said Steiner, a professor at the University of Georgia. By using biochar concepts, terra preta soils have been proven to remain fertile for thousands of years, preventing further harmful deforestation for agricultural purposes.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

Amazing - Zit looked on awesome information and saw --- the limited, puerile reflection of himself.
Enjoy your small boring cage, Zit. You and your bagel will be in it the rest of your life.

S'wneyways
Considering that the biochar is made from biological materials, there's no contribution to the surface CO2 load. I wonder if one can use biological materials to heat up the waste to such a high temperature, or if one needs to use fossil fuels for that.
It appears, though, that overall the creation and use of biochar has a net negative effect on surface CO2. "Worldwide use of biochar could cut CO2 levels by 8 parts per million within 50 years, according to NASA scientist James Hansen."
And, gee, I have a garden ... where can I get me some of this stuff ?

Oh that's so cute - you're trying to play an April Fool's joke. Run along now, sonny. Let the grownups talk.
