Engineers at RMIT University have developed an innovative approach to concrete that could yield major performance boosts in c ...

Courtenay, B.C. resident Greg Porteous started making biochar for his neighbours as a way of taking action on climate change. The black, charcoal-like substance holds onto a lot of the carbon in the ...

“We already have some evidence in terms of the properties when biochar is used in material concrete. For example, replacing 1% within a cementitious composite, the compressive strength can increase by ...

Their innovation strengthens concrete by 30% using biochar made from spent coffee grounds to give the drink-additive a ...

When processed into biochar—a material similar to charcoal—they can replace some of the sand traditionally used in concrete production. Dr. Rajeev Roychand from RMIT explains that in the ...

The company invested millions of dollars to receive up to 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide removal credits through the production of burnt organic material, or biochar, which offsets emissions the ...

Improve your soil by making biochar in the ground. DIY biochar enhances nutrient availability and also enables soil to retain nutrients longer. Last year, I committed one of the great sins of ...

Dr Rajeev Roychand, Professor Jie Li, Associate Professor Shannon Kilmartin-Lynch, Dr Mohammad Saberian and Professor Chun Qing Li's innovation strengthens concrete by 30% using biochar made from ...

The Eastern Washington company takes crop and forestry wastes, applies a patented technology to convert the organic debris into biochar, and uses that material to more efficiently grow the next ...
