Biochar has multiple potential environmental benefits, foremost the potential to sequester carbon in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years at an estimate. Studies suggest that crop yields can increase as a result of applying biochar as a soil amendment. Some contend that biochar has value as an immediate climate change mitigation strategy.

Anila, the smokeless stove that uses agro-waste to burn and makes charcoal as a by-product. Photo/CORRESPONDENT
By JEVANS NYABIAGEPosted Wednesday, May 13 2009 at 15:09

A new stove that uses gases from rotting materials (bio-residues) to burn and which could potentially change the lives of rural people for the better, has been launched.

Given the shortage of conventional fuels such as kerosene and [...]]]></description>

Human induced cumulative environmental tweaks are leading to Climate Change
As Africa prepares to celebrate Earth Day this week, there is a growing unease as new scientific evidence puts Africa square in the same carbon foot print with India and China in contributing towards climate change.  Africa has been very vocal about climate change (the scenario [...]]]></description>

Carbon dioxide emissions amongst five other greenhouse gases may endanger human health and well-being according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) based on a review of scientific evidence.
The EPA cites a number of impacts that may impact significantly on US citizens, including:

(1) an increased risk of droughts and floods
(2) sea level rise
(3) more intense storms [...]]]></description>

While carbon dioxide may be the No. 1 contributor to rising global temperatures, scientists say, black carbon has emerged as an important No. 2, with recent studies estimating that it is responsible for 18 percent of the planet’s warming, compared with 40 percent for carbon dioxide. Decreasing black carbon emissions would be a relatively cheap [...]]]></description>
