Life cycle cost and economic assessment of biochar-based bioenergy production and biochar land application in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a thorough life cycle cost assessment (LCCA) of biochar-based bioenergy production and its land application under four different scenarios: 1) biochar production with low feedstock availability; 2) biochemicals production with high feed stock availability; 3) biochemical production with lower feedstock available; 4) biopharma production with higher feed stock available.

REVIEW: Charcoal function and management in boreal ecosystems
Stephen A. Hart,Nancy Luckai +1 more
TL;DR: Charcoal plays an important role in soil function and carbon storage in fire-prone ecosystems as discussed by the authors, and incorporation of charcoal into ecosystem management using prescribed burns may contribute to sustainable management of boreal forests and maintaining global carbon cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochar-based bioenergy and its environmental impact in Northwestern Ontario Canada: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of biochar production as a co-product of bioenergy and its implications is presented, with reference to biomass availability and sustainability and on biochar utilization for its soil amendment and greenhouse gas emissions reduction properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle environmental impact assessment of biochar-based bioenergy production and utilization in Northwestern Ontario, Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, a thorough life cycle assessment of biochar-based bioenergy production and biochar land application in Northwestern Ontario is conducted using SimaPro® Ver. 8.1.
