Biochar Application for Greenhouse Gases Mitigation

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

Agricultural applications significantly increase the atmospheric emissions of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, nitrogen oxides and methane. Therefore, studies on new strategies to reduce greenhouse gases are become more important. Biochar produced from different organic materials as a by-product of slow pyrolysis and/or rapid pyrolysis, gasification or combustion processes can be used for carbon sequestration, greenhouse gases mitigation, soil improvement, waste management and wastewater treatment. Biochar application is promising technology as a climate change mitigation tool to reduce carbon emissions from soils. The agricultural implementation of biochar may have an important effect on global warming reduction by greenhouse gas emission mitigation and carbon sequestration. Besides, biochar can support the improvement of soil structure and productivity and increase the yields in agriculture. In this study, biochar application and especially the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions are reviewed. Further research is necessary to realize the effective mechanisms in biochar application to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
