Biochar: pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass to produce char, syngas, and bio-crude (pyrolysis oil).
The biochar locks in carbon for thousands of years while also being able to potentially double yields of carbon depleted farmland.
Regenerative Grazing : Better grazing practices to reduce soil degradation and thus carbon dioxide (among other things) emissions.
The world’s soils store several times the amount carbon as the atmosphere, acting as a natural “carbon sink.”
Zero-till: not ploughing to turn over soil as not to expose humus that can then rot and release carbon.
No-till reduces soil erosion and encourages water to infiltrate soils (although it can require greater use of herbicides).
Making grasslands:
Reduce deforestation and turn 'slash-and-burn' agriculture to 'slash-and-char.
It is the practice of charring the biomass resulting from the slashing, instead of burning it. The resulting residue matter charcoal can be utilized as biochar to improve the soil fertility.
