Needs to be economically viable
Prof. Joseph, who has received an Order of Australia for his work in renewable energy and biochar, says to enable widespread adoption of biochar, it needs to be readily integrated with farming operations and be demonstrated to be economically viable.
"We've done the science, what we don't have is enough resources to educate and train people, to establish demonstrations so farmers can see the benefits of using biochar, to develop this new industry," he says.
However this is slowly changing as large corporations are purchasing carbon dioxide reduction certificates (CORC's) to offset their emissions, which is boosting the profile of biochar in Australia.
