🔥 The topic that keeps giving… how permanent is biochar? 📄 A paper recently appeared challenging that soil-applied biochar can be permanent for 1,000s of years. It generated lively discussions and several folks asked me for my take. 🧪 First things first: I am not a scientist, and this is a matter that needs to be settled 100% by science. However, the latest paper is explicitly a policy commentary. So allow me to weigh in. My main observations: ⚖️ The debate is not on wheth

🚴 Tour de Freiburg: Tyred but inspired
🔥 Biochar is about to ignite 🌲 That is my resounding takeaway from a long-needed catch-up with Hannes Junginger jungiger cycling through the gorgeous autumnal Black Forest. 📈 What has changed? Years of consistent growth and deliveries seemed to have finally turned skeptics around. And newcomers to the market - buyers and investors alike - are seeing biochar carbon removal (BCR) for what it is: the most shovel-ready, reliable, mature durable CDR technology available today.
