Using Biochar to Remediate Mining Pollution

Biochar is multi-benefit carbon material made by the pyrolysis of waste biomass. It can be used as a soil amendment, a sorbent for contaminant adsorption and for heat energy. Since it is a carbon negative technology, it is an actionable way to meaningfully sequester carbon.
Awareness about it benefits and matching production with appropriate markets are big challenges currently. Research into its adsorptive properties demonstrate promise for various water quality and mining applications.
