Clearing Our Land and Responsible Burning Protects Us All in Manton from Wildfire. Burning for Biochar Can Create Even More Benefits.
Biochar is a type of charcoal that is made from organic waste material, like wood chips, agricultural waste, or even food scraps.
The process of creating biochar involves heating the organic material in a container, such as a kiln, at high temperatures with little or no air. This process is called pyrolysis and it turns the organic material into a stable and carbon-rich product. Biochar is an eco-friendly way to turn organic waste material into a useful and valuable product that benefits both agriculture and the environment. Manton now has its own Biochar kiln to help landowners take advantage of this process.
Why Should Manton Landowners Consider Creating Biochar Instead of Pile Burning?
Burning organic waste produces smoke and air pollution, while biochar production in a kiln creates much less pollution.
Burning a pile of organic waste results in the loss of valuable nutrients, while biochar production results in a stable carbon product that can be added to soil to improve its fertility.
Biochar production is a controlled process that can create consistent, high-quality biochar.
Biochar production is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option than burning waste, as it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
