Farm-Scale Biochar Production System Design Published

The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics published a study that explores the design of an affordable, farm-level operable kiln for biochar production and examines the properties of the biochar produced by this system. The system is aimed at supporting smallholder farmers in aiding agriculture’s shift towards net-zero emissions and in preventing soil degradation. It uses crop residue such as pigeonpea and maize stalk as feedstock.
