Biochar, an ancient technology invented by Amer-indians, could help solve some of our most pressing environmental challenges at both the global and local scale. Biochar has the ability to sequester incredible amounts of carbon in the soil, create nearly permanent fertility and structure in even degraded soils, bind pollutants, cleans water, generate clean fuels, and many other benefits that will be discussed.

Ryan Hottle, PhD candidate at Ohio State University and its Carbon Management and Sequestration Center, discusses biochar. This substance is a carbon-rich compound created by the incomplete combustion of biomass.
