Information note: Use of biochar (charcoal) to replenish soil carbon pools, restore soil fertility and sequester CO2
Submission by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
4th Session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action under the
Convention (AWG-LCA 4), Poznan, 1-10 December 2008
Our biochar proposal submitted to COP-14 in Poland (UN Climate Change Conference) was accepted by the UNFCCC for the dialogue for the post 2012 climate regime. This is an important step towards UN certified emissions reductions (CER) and clean development mechanism (CDM) projects.

Energy & Agricultural Carbon Utilization - sustainable alternatives to sequestration
Conference at the University of Georgia, 10-11 June, 2004
The Energy and Carbon Utilization Symposium held
at the University of Georgia June 10-11 2004 brought energy producers
and policy makers with agricultural ecologists, soil scientists,
engineers and private-sector companies from around the world together.
For the first time, the symposium offered a platform to present and
discuss findings on sustainable energy and biochar carbon
sequestration. Based on the anthropogenic Amazonian dark earths, known
as Terra the feasibility of its replication and biochar carbon
sequestration was discussed within an interdisciplinary group.
