Biomass residues from food production are most often considered waste, and burnt after the harvest. Besides releasing CO₂, that was once sequestered by plants in their biomass, burning biomass residues creates smog and poses health risks to local communities.Instead, we propose to turn it into biochar with a process known as flame curtain pyrolysis. The biochar can then be added back to the soil as a valuable amendment.
