What are the applications of biochar in environmental remediation and role of biochar in mitigation of climate change through carbon sequestration?
Dear Prof Naresh
Greetings
Bio char is an ideal de odourless, absorbs all foul order..ie HC CH4 H2S NH3
Fixes excess humidity too.
Called -" pareli " in Hindi.
On decomposition of bio char ex agri produce, its healthy rich fertilization matter.
Upon drying and airing sun bake dried
It's ideal add ons for most veggie crops
Detailed veg farms is possible
All the Best

Biochar is a versatile material that can be used for a range of environmental remediation applications, including removing pollutants from soil, water, and air. Importantly, biochar also plays a key role in climate change mitigation through long-term carbon sequestration when applied to soils.
Hello!
You Question is naming the two benefits of biochar in soils.
Firstly it may be used for carbon sequestration because biochar is oxidised very slowly in spoils if done right. so we are able to deposit carbon for long time in soils.
the other benefit is that biochar is able to adsorb organic pollutants in contaminated soils, thus preventing spreading to groundwater and drinking water resources. it may even help with degrading pollutants, not only solidifying and fixating these pollutants. The effect on PFAS seems not very promising unfortunately, but biochar has very positive effects on other pollutants like polyaromatic hydrocarbons and pesticides.
The biggest benefit of biochar in environmental remediations is of corse its price. Biochar is a very costefficient method to remediate risks with pollution of soils. Be aware of changes in redox in case of pollution with arsenic, you may get mobilisation instead.
