Biomass Derived, Carbon Sequestering, Designed Fertilizers
by Kimberly A. Magrini-Bair et al.
...recent results that clearly link increased soil productivity with charcoal-like Terra Preta deposits...Replicated plant growth tests with corn...showed that these biomass-derived chars...enhanced above and below ground plant growth...support the growth and subsequent release of nitrogen-fixing bacteria...
Potential Energy Generation and Carbon Savings from Waste Biomass Pyrolysis in Israel
by E. R. Graber and E. Hadas
...It was calculated that pyrolysis energy products could reduce annual use of fossil fuels by approximately 7.3%, and the combined carbon credit for fossil fuel displacement and permanent carbon sequestration would represent 7.5% of Israel's annual CO2-C emissions. Approximately another 0.5% C reduction...
Annals of Environmental Science has one aim in mind: to make high quality, peer-reviewed environmental research available to anyone, anywhere at no charge.
Publication of high quality research is facilitated by peer-review and editorial systems that certify to the extent possible that high standards have been met.
The work then can be shared with the world.
The papers will be indexed and abstracted, but who knows who will be able to access them, and who knows who may benefit in one way or another from the information they contain?
