Nottingham University is leading a £4.5m trial, exploring the viability of the material biochar for storing CO
2 from the atmosphere to fight climate change.
The study is one of five UKRI-funded projects aiming to cut emissions in line with the government’s 2050 net zero target, through the use of Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) technologies.
Biochar is produced by heating organic biomass from agriculture and forestry waste in the absence of oxygen (pyrolosis), making it carbon-rich and chemically stable. Currently produced on a small scale in the UK and used as a mulch for horticulture, the substance is similar to commercial-grade charcoal used on BBQs but should be produced at higher temperatures to produce stable carbon.
