With approximately one fifth of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions originating from agriculture, there is a growing interest in developing agricultural practices that combat climate change while simultaneously enhancing soil health and fertility. This thesis aims to address this challenge by developing an agricultural carbon flow model to quantify climate mitigation potentials of producing biochar using agricultural plant residues as feedstock, at various pyrolytic temperatures. Additionally, a comprehensive literature search was conducted on the interactions between biochar and different types of soils.
