Simple Solution to Reverse Global Warming

The Warm Heart Biochar Project offers a sustainable solution to the haze by providing resources for farmers to convert crop residues into biochar.
 
PHRAO, Thailand - April 8, 2016 - PRLog -- Around the world field burning creates 330,000 tons of black carbon annually - the 2nd biggest contributor to global warming - and huge quantities of methane and NOx, greenhouse gases 25 and 298 times respectively more warming than CO2.

Eliminating the practice of open burning of crop residues by "pyrolyzing" them into biochar does more than remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Biochar is an inert form of carbon, and when buried in the soil as fertilizer it sequesters carbon at the rate of 3 tons of CO2 per ton of biochar. Added to soil it cools the globe and restores the earth.

Free Training

In conjunction with a grant from the US Consulate General Chiang Mai, Warm Heart Biochar Project offers free videos and training material for farmers on how to build a pyrolyzer oven, and how to make and use Biochar.

Making biochar from just 25 percent of developing world field waste will annually eliminate at least 82,500 metric tons of black carbon and its warming effects.
