Webinar: Scrubbing the Skies – Upscaling Biochar as a Soil Amendment and Waste Management Technology: Lessons from Agricultural History

October 26th, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET, hosted by Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy

Join the next event in the webinar series, “Scrubbing the Skies: The Role of Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combating Climate Change“ hosted by Wil Burns, Co-Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal and Policy. Agricultural biochar offers an appealing way to sequester CO₂ while also improving farm soils. By pyrolising organic material (including farm and forestry wastes, but also possibly purpose-grown bio-crops), it is possible to lock atmospheric carbon into a stable solid form, which has numerous benefits when ground up and added to farm soils. Achieving this in practice, however, will require major changes to agricultural and waste management systems, with substantial ramifications from a social, economic, and political perspective. Panelist is Cameron Roberts, Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Wisconsin Madison Centre for Sustainability and the Global Environment.
