New research shows biochar can boost BOTH hydrogen and methane production in anaerobic digestion, turning food waste into dual clean energy streams.
• Up to ~45–50% higher gas production
• More stable digestion at high organic loading

Can agricultural waste clean our water?
This study shows that biochar made from corn cobs can remove up to 98% of micro/nanoplastics and ~64% of ammonia from water, with no detectable PAH release and good reusability.
A low-cost, sustainable filter for emerging contaminants.

Cities drive the climate problem, but many still can’t see their own CO₂.
This review maps how urban CO₂ monitoring networks are designed worldwide, why background matters, and where the biggest data gaps remain.
Better networks = better climate decisions.

One application. Five years of impact.
A 5-year field study shows that combining biochar with reduced nitrogen fertilization can keep sugarcane growing stronger—even with no additional fertilizer for five years.

More nitrogen does NOT always mean more rice🌾
New research from central Myanmar shows that extra N fertilizer brings little yield gain in monsoon rice, but big environmental and social costs.
