TLDR
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 on biomass feedstocks, pyrolysis mechanism and physicochemical properties of biochar: State-of-the-art framework to speed up vision of circular bioeconomy

TL;DR: The biochar is a solid carbon-rich, porous material produced by the thermochemical conversion of a diverse range of biomass feedstocks under an inert atmosphere (i.e., in the absence of oxygen) as discussed by the authors.

Sustainable biochar to mitigate global climate change

TL;DR: The maximum sustainable technical potential of biochar to mitigate climate change is estimated, which shows that it has a larger climate-change mitigation potential than combustion of the same sustainably procured biomass for bioenergy, except when fertile soils are amended while coal is the fuel being offset.

Maize yield and nutrition during 4 years after biochar application to a Colombian savanna oxisol

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of a single application of 0, 8 and 20 t of biochar to a Colombian savanna Oxisol for 4 years (2003-2006) under a maize-soybean rotation.

Biochar for environmental management: an introduction

TL;DR: Biochar is the product of heating biomass in the absence of or with limited air to above 250oC, a process called charring or pyrolysis also used for making charcoal as discussed by the authors.

Life Cycle Assessment of Biochar Systems: Estimating the Energetic, Economic, and Climate Change Potential

TL;DR: Life cycle assessment was used to estimate the energy and climate change impacts and the economics of biochar systems, which may at present only deliver climate change mitigation benefits and be financially viable as a distributed system using waste biomass.
